When the horses were winning,
people wanted to buy them so I started taking people
up and replacing the more experienced horses with
youngsters and starting again. Now we are so busy
with the youngsters/selling that the competition has
took a slight side line. although I have kept one
horse 'Alimo' for 8 years she's now 9 and has won
over £7000 with limited shows and it's nice to have
a sensible older horse to escort the babies out on
their first hacks!
I have picked up invaluable
contacts along the way and have been selling horses
for 13 years now, I have been lucky to have the same
contacts all the time and we have built up a good
business relationship, due to the repeat trade we
can afford to sell the horses at much cheaper prices
than our competitors.
Most of the horses come from Holland, Belgium,
Germany and Denmark, I have access to an extensive
range of horses for sale with my European network of
contacts. The horses Summer Lees Sports horses have
for sale are selected for their quality, looks,
ability, soundness, bloodlines and temperament with
the majority of horses also undergoing a basic
vetting before importation.
I would consider myself qualified to select the
horses we offer for sale based on my experience of
International competition and experience, this
combined with a lifetime of friends, contacts and
business acquaintances this gives Summer Lees Sports
Horses a unique position in the selling industry.
I enjoy the satisfaction of a successful sale and
love to see the horses and owners happy whether it
be a sponsored ride or HOYS final.
We transport the horses home ourselves to ensure a
quick and comfortable crossing and to keep expensive
transportation costs to a minimum . Myself and my
partner are both fully qualified for long distance
horse movements. The horses are fed, watered and
regularly checked so they can arrive home in top
condition without any added stress.
We allow the horses time to settle in before
assessing each horse learning his/her temperament
and ability as we go. The horses are looked after
like Royalty and have first class care and
attention, our staff are fully qualified, especially
with young horses and stallions, our facilities are
excellent with an all weather arena, full set of
show jumps, XC course to hand and endless off road
hacking (new yard to us so will be constantly
improving)
We only keep a small stock of horses so we can
concentrate on quality rather than quantity, we tend
to turn them over fairly quickly to ensure costs are
kept to a minimum and we can sell them at a
competitive price.
At Summer Lees Sports Horses we trade from our super
reputation and proven track record with numerous
repeat customers and in this bad 'economic' market
were still as busy as ever.
Summer Lees Sports Horses aims to guarantee a
service for the professional rider along with the
amateur and novice rider too. Selling genuine horses
that have the talent to progress through the grades
and the older horses to provide a 'service' to the
rider. Importantly our youngsters are produced to
have a future not rushed or ruined for an instant
result or sale.
