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

I cannot recommend The Trayfords highly enough. Prior to contacting Daisy, I had spent seven months searching for sale ads and hadn’t seen anything I wanted to view. I told Daisy I had quite specific requirements, however she found me a horse within about 36 hours. Daisy and Richard then viewed him for me, and I received many videos of the viewing with absolutely no pressure into making a decision. He then stayed with Daisy and Richard for almost three months for some schooling and all round ridden experience, including a couple of ridden outings for him. I received video updates of his progress. He arrived with me completely chilled, polite and just as Daisy had described him to me. Jo Freeman
