"Dear Sophie,

On behalf of Angelique (especially) and I, we would like to pass on our thanks and gratitude for finding our ideal horse.

We gave you quite specific requirements - he had to be Black (no white bits), Spanish PRE, Spanish High School or Dressage trained, and a ladies stallion with a great temperament. Rather than waste our time throwing loads of horse detals in our direction, you pointed us directly to Pinterero.

Not only was our first visit a success (with your excellent translation skills), we even figured out that left was right on the directions to the stables, but you came to find us, and the second visit was much easier.

Pinturero arrived yesterday and as promised his weight was correct, his temperment delightful, and sheer prescence felt by all.

He is everything we had hoped for, Angelique had wished for, and I had prayed for. A true Ladies Stallion, with a fantsatic bloodline, physical appearance, trained capability, but most of all, a temperament that even after two days, most of the "very experienced" people at the stables say is not possible from a Stallion, but we know it is, he stands in front of us every day - and at night when Angelique makes me take her to the stables at 12am to say goodnight!!!!! (and to check he is still there).

Truely, we wish to pass on our gratitude, thanks, and lots of hugs (Angelique again) for making one Lady here very, very, very happy, and then some! He's been here for 36 hours and we have had 6 visits already - usually for at least 2 hours!!!

Wishing you the very best, and hope all is well back in the UK.

James, Angelique, Vicky & Pinturero

Dear Sophie,

I've been trying to think how I can express my gratitude to you for finding Voltano. I cannot imagine a more perfect choice for me, especially in value for money. You made an experience that would have been so difficult (if not impossible!), both easy and comfortable. The accommodation was wonderful and eating breakfast on the patio above the infinity pool every morning was certainly a great way to start the day! What an astounding view of the olive groves, hills and lake! Good food, good wine and fabulous company!

I was amazed at your Andalusian horse contacts in Spain. What a treat to see so many beautiful horses! It is obvious why it was necessary for you to specially select both a variety of horse establishments and a variety of horses for me to view before my arrival. I would have been entirely overwhelmed trying to sort through the numbers of horses available. 

Understanding of good horses is a skill that many possess but understanding the individual needs of a buyer makes your service particularly special. You also have good working relationships with a diversity of Spanish horse breeders, trainers and horse establishments, all of which adds to the uniqueness of Spanish Horse Quest. 

My experience with purchasing a horse with your service could not have been better. From picking me up at the airport, choice of accommodation, the trips around to view the specially selected horses, your handling of the bartering, the paper work and the transport arrangements for Voltano, to all of my special requests in regard to this horse! It was all a very special (and relaxed!) experience for me!

If anyone would like more information about my experience, please feel free to have them contact me!

Thank you so much,

Congratulations to the Sheikh who bought 2 stunning PRE stallions.

You guys are so efficient, I can just sit back, relax and let the horses come to me. The horses arrived safely - I am sending you photos of them in our stud farm. Elegido is a dream horse - a Rolls Royce to ride and so nice and quiet. They are both settling in really well and the Sheikh is so happy with them, he would like to buy another Rolls Royce like Elegido.

Thank you for all your hard work getting them all the way to Qatar without any problems.
