Testimonials

I purchased from Richard one of the most talented young horses on my yard, Cooleys Master Class. Without question he is a star for the future.

Oliver Townend, UK International Event Rider

I just want to tell you how much I love Cooley Cross Border. You did such a great job starting him and longing him over sj xc etc. I am going to be careful and finish producing him the way you started him. I have walked him over all the stuff in my ring and baby xc. He is always happy and willing to go. Thank you for that. I would buy many horses from you if I have the means.

Kim Severson, USA Olympic Event Rider

Richard has a fantastic eye for a top quality horse. I have recently bought a young horse from him and last year I bought Dassett Courage, who was orignially sourced by Richard as a youngster. I have never seen a bad horse on my visits to Richards and with the fantastic facilities at Ballinacoola it is a great place to really test the horses before you make your decision. I will definitely be going back when I'm next on the look out for a superstar!

Having bought a horse through Richard Sheane and viewed many others, he offers an outstanding professional  service. I have never returned to England disappointed in the selection of horses that he has shown me during my visit. They are all top quality and Richard has a knack of only showing me the types that I go for. I would recommend Richard to anyone looking to source a top quality event horse for with potential for top level competition.

The times that I have worked with Richard he has produced a large selection of quality horses for me to try. He has a good eye for a sporthorse and is well respected in his field. He helped to make the purchasing process run smoothly and quickly, and I will continue to purchase horses and recommend him to others.

Emma Winter : British 4 Star Event Rider

Having bought a horse through Richard, I can highly recommend the service he provides, everything from being there at the airport to pick me and my owner up, to the quality of horse he showed us through the day was absolutely spot on. This service he provides takes away the stress of having to find your way around the country, and he arranged everything from the vetting to the transport of the horse over to UK.

Bret Kenyon : UK Event Rider

He does exactly what it says on the tin. He found me super horses for what i needed and I've had an absolutely brilliant time with them. I trust his judgement, you'll always be happy with what he says is right for you. He's honest and straight forward to deal with. He even found my Dad a hunter for the wards which is a serious achievement since dad won't settle for anything but the best there is......

Jodie Ronan : Dargle Eventing

Dear Richard, I just wanted to write and thank you for all your help in finding Bally Patrick Rickardo for us. We have bought several horses in different parts of the world and truly have to say this was the most professional help from day one of our buying trip to the delivery of the horse, that we have ever experienced. It is easy to get excited about the buying process but it can be an anxious waiting period after the decision has been made and the vetting , boarding while waiting for the shipping, and shipping process take place. We really appreciated very much you keeping us informed along the way , your personal involvement with the horse until he left Ireland ,and especially the fact that you took the time to go to the airport to see him off and the follow up call to make sure he arrived ok The horse looked so good when he arrived , I think he is the first horse that has ever arrived at this farm from overseas and not needed to see a farrier for a month after arrival! Sincerely, Jim and Bernadette Cogdell The Fork Farm Carolina

Lisa Maynard : International Four Star UK Event Rider

I have worked with Richard for the past 2 years and the service he provides for my clients is excellent.  He has found horses for several International Event riders who I have sent over and they all have been impressed with the quality of horses he has shown them. Richard is exceptionally keen that the horses he shows are right for my clients as our reputation is paramount.  Nothing is ever a problem to organize  and he's great fun too.
