Estelle and Kate are the Winners of the 5yo Dressage Championships

Estelle is a super talented German dressage mare by Grey Flannel with an amazing personality and great talent for collected work.

Today, Estelle along with her new rider Kate are successfully competing in Poland. Most recently, Estelle and Kate won the Polish Championships of 5yo Dressage Horses. We couldn’t be more proud of them!

Congratulations to the new owner and rider - our Team wishes you further success. 

Recently I’ve returned from Düsseldorf where I got a chance to see Anna’s best-trained horses. I must admit I was impressed to see so many and so beautiful and talented warmbloods there. They were calm, friendly and easy-going but what’s more important Anna showed me how to get along with them.

The place was like a 5-stars hotel - the stable was clean, spacious and comfortable. Moreover, both the horses and the trainers get access to the best equestrian equipment and high-tech solarium what makes the training more pleasurable and effective for one and the other.

As an amateur rider I had many questions but here as well Anna made everything easier. She explained me everything what I needed to know before buying my first horse. She answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable and important for the whole time.

I recommend Anna’s services and horses with my entire heart. The whole horse shopping experience was marvellous and I doubt you can find better-trained horses elsewhere.

Isselina has been my horse for most of her under saddle life. Together we went through her first shows as a young horse and throughout the years we kept moving up the levels successfully reaching FEI rated shows. The amazing grey mare has been such a great part of my life. So finally when my life circumstances changed and the time came to part ways with the mare, I was very happy that SportWarmbloods found a fantastic new home for Isselina where she can continue her sports endeavors. 

I am so happy to have Esti as my young horse prospect. She is an ideal young horse: smart, talented, and so willing to learn. I was given the opportunity to try her in a new stable to see how she would react in new places and it was the best experience possible in making sure that the horse's personality is exactly as I hoped it would be. At the moment, she is training the 4 year old horses program and we are looking forward to our first show. 

The horse shopping trip was Excellent. Anna was great to work with and was very flexible about location, dates, etc. I really appreciated the extra time and help to allow us to fly into Berlin, to get Lexi's saddle measurements done for his new custom saddle and taking care of all of the export traveling arrangements. I absolutely LOVE Lexi. He is a horse exactly as he was described (actually maybe even better than that) and we are bonding great together!

It was an outstanding experience with a very successful outcome and exceeded expectations on many aspects (e.g. pierogi lessons!) My only regret is I didn’t take more time to shop or sightsee : )

Accommodations: Hospitality at the Inn was 10 out of 10 for me — I felt embraced by Anna and her staff from the moment we arrived at the airport, really. This was one of the most special aspects of the trip. The setting was spectacular, the food was perfection and the people were lovely. I hope I can return some day.

Horse Trials: This was outstanding. The venue, the organization, the presentation of horses was well done. I felt that I had ample time to try each horse and every horse was a top candidate for me. I was never pushed, but supported. I was not subject to any slick salesmanship tactics. This was a fantastic experience. I envisioned trying more horses than I did, but other than one gelding every horse I tried was an appropriate horse for my search, so I feel my time was well spent.

Importation: Mr. Hot arrive in good shape and I was able to trust that Anna was watching over him through the process and all export formalities were handled so I didn't have to deal with it.

Post purchase support. Anna and Stacy have been there for me ever since my purchase to answer questions and help me in my progress with Mr. Hot. There is no question that if I ever again find myself in the position of a search, I will work with Anna and Stacy again.

What I liked most about the trip: What i liked most about the trip was Being in Europe ! The quality of horses presented. Anna's warmth and energy. It’s like baking in the sun!

My relationship with Mr. Hot: We’re entering our 4th season together and he’s been exactly the horse I was hoping to find. I am so proud to compete him and to present him at a clinic. Every day, I can’t wait to get to the barn to ride. I don’t feel I could ever have found a horse of this quality and temperament in the US with such correct training foundation. That has made all the difference. Instead of overcoming training issues, we just keep trucking along in our progress slowly but correctly. I love him.

Frisbee is doing really well. We had a fabulous dressage show in March, gaining the 4 highest scores of the whole show, and that's from Lilo Fore as a judge, who is a judge of judges!

The horse shopping experience was very good. Stacy was very accommodating in enabling me to do what I needed to do to make sure that I was happy with Frisbee before I bought him. I appreciate that you let me take him to my barn to try him as an additional trial to see how he reacts in new places and the trail went great. You were excellent in the entire process, very professional yet approachable and willing to listen to what I wanted.

I love Frisbee and we are learning about each other. He is very consistent horse. He gets surprised when things in his life sometimes change. But he is very sweet and talented and a very good partner for me. I actually hope that I don't have to repeat the experience of having to find another horse as I hope Frisbee will be my forever horse.
