Try Before You Buy - what you need to know

 

If you feel more comfortable travelling out to see a horse or a selection of prospect horses before you commit to a sale then we can help organise your trip.

FLIGHTS

The primary destinations are Prague International Airport (Czech Republic) or Bruno International Airport (Czech Republic).

We suggest you check the prices flying with Czech Airlines as the costs are much less than other airlines and you are far less likely to have to transfer through the flight.

(please check your nearest airport for destinations and upto date prices as the above costings are just an approximate and are not regularly updated)

NB: We feel it is best that you organise your own flights but feel free to talk through dates and times before you make the booking.

 

PICK UP AND DROP OFF AT THE AIRPORT

We will be there to meet you at the designated airport with pre organised transport and will take the necessary action to ensure that you arrive back at the airport at your requested departure time.  

(dependant on weather and traffic conditions)

 

ACCOMMODATION

We will organise accomodation for everyone on the trip. It is sensible to budget approximately 30-50 Euros per night per room. The rooms will be clean, comfortable and should have en-suite facilities. Let us know how many people are coming and what sleeping arrangements are preferable. We suggest you do not bring children along as it is often a very intense and tiring experience. Schedules are tight and it is difficult to accommodate the needs of younger children. Trainers are also welcome and it is often a benefit to have a companion with you who knows your needs and capabilities. If you want to travel alone that is equally no problem. We are very honest and open about all the horses we show people and at no point want to sell the wrong horse/s to a client. We pride our selves in our strong success rate and do not wish to jeopardise our long term business plan. Feel free to contact one of our references for your peace of mind.

Please note that we feel it is best that we make any accomodation bookings as we need to be flexible on route/destination. Mostly the accomodation will be sourced at venue.

 

CAR HIRE

Because we do not reside in Europe on a permanent basis it will be necessary to hire a car to get around.

It is sensible to budget approximately 65-150 Euros for one days car hire depending on how you wish to travel! If you need to stay longer than one day then budget for 120-200 Euros for 2 days hire, again depending on your preference of vehicle. You can of course travel for longer but in our experience it is not often necessary as we work hard from the moment you commit to your intent to purchase on selecting only horses which will match your criteria (or as close to as possible) reducing the volume but maximising quality.

You can follow the link to Sixt Car Rentals to have a look at costs. Please DO NOT Book

Please note that we feel it is best that we make any car hire bookings. Petr will be the designated driver and the agents require matching driver/booker details for their insurance. Because of this payment for car hire to us will be required before arrival.

 

VIDEO AND PICTURES

We will be there to take stills and video footage of the horse/s you see and try. These can be forwarded on to you separately via email at the end of the trip or formatted to disk and posted to you for a modest fee.

 


 

Remember these trips are intense and structured to a normally tight schedule. Be prepared to work hard and play hard searching for your new horse/s

Thanks for visiting our site and we hope to hear from you soon

"It would have been impossible to wipe the grin off Jamie's face.  She is having a lot of fun with this horse.." Ken Lee       "I really love this horse.  Thank you for selling him to us :o) He's such a doll.  Everyone really thinks he's something and they are most definately right. J"

 
"I found the service provided by Petr and Laura to have been highy professional and efficeint.  I bought 2 horses on a 'buy via media' basis.  All possible information on the horses, vetting and transportation was thoroughly organised and well communicated and the horses all arrived looking well cared for and in good condition.  I would highly recomend them to anyone looking for horses of a high standard.  S. Kernahan"
