Horse Evaluations

If you have identified a horse you may wish to purchase and would like us to go and see it for you, please send us the vendor information and we will make an appointment.

Cost: from €200, which includes multiple horses from the same vendor. This fee covers our time and fuel (additional mileage charges may apply—see our map/rates). We call this our “Go See” service.

We're faster and more cost-effective than anyone outside Ireland. If you can’t try the horse yourself—try by proxy with us.

Sourcing

To engage us in sourcing a horse for you, we require a deposit of €200*, refundable against any successful purchase through us. Once we receive the deposit, we will begin looking for you based on your requirements. We will send over options for your selection; approved horses can be tried and evaluated as per our evaluation rates.

If you are coming to Ireland, we can put a trip together for you. It is our policy that we attend these yard visits with you. Fees as per our evaluations - €200/yard - this fee is capped at €500/day irrespective of how many yards we get to.

Please note: While you’re welcome to browse online, once you engage us to source horses on your behalf, we charge a 10% commission on the final purchase price of any horse bought through our service.

Reviews

Daisy and Richard both went to view the ponies and I got honest feed back and was told what would suit my daughter out of the 3 of them. She also rode the freshly backed pony for me. It was the best decision I made to use the Trayfords. Two days after they viewed for me I bid and won the pony. Another 3 days later and he is settle in the UK. The turn around from Daisy first speaking to the seller to the pony being in his forever home with us was 1 week. Highly recommend The Trayfords and would definitely use them again if I want to buy from Ireland. Rebecca Naumenko
