If you are in the market for a horse and want an objective appraisal of a prospective horse’s training level and suitability for your riding level or discipline, I will evaluate the horse. Likewise, if you have a horse to sell, I can evaluate his level of training so that an appropriate home can be found. Many horses end up with a mismatched owner due to the new owner’s lack of knowledge and riding experience with horses. This can lead to suffering, injury or death for people and the horse.

An evaluation for horse rescue operations is done for horses with little or no known history. A rescue organization may need an appraisal of a horse’s mental or emotional readiness to be ridden or an assessment of a horse’s training level or temperament to match with a prospective adopter. Evaluations done for rescues or rescue horses are available at a reduced price. Call to inquire on rates for rescues.

An evaluation can usually be done within a few days.
