The Horse Shopper

02/11/2025

I’ve been asked by several customers, "What’s the real benefit of hiring someone to shop for you?" before they signed up for The Horse Shopper services and were paired with their "perfect" match. I’d love to share some of the key advantages:

Thorough Screening: We vet all potential sellers to ensure you avoid those known for misleading advertising or hiding flaws in their horses.
Exclusive Access: Thanks to our strong industry connections, we can access horses that aren’t publicly listed, giving you more options to choose from.
Objective Advice: We offer an impartial perspective on all prospects, regardless of the seller, ensuring you make a well-informed decision.
Personalized Approach: Your budget, riding ability, timeline, and goals are always our top priorities. We take the time to find the right fit for you, and never rush you into a purchase.
Guidance for First-Time Buyers: If you’re new to buying a horse and don’t have a coach guiding you, we’ll make sure you’re not taken advantage of and that the horse meets your long-term goals.
Support for Coaches & Trainers: We understand that running a stable is time-consuming, so we present pre-screened options for both you and your clients, saving you time. Coaches/trainers also enjoy a discounted fee when working with us.
Comprehensive Coordination: From trials and pre-purchase exams (PPEs) to pick-ups, drop-offs, and financial exchanges, we handle it all to make the process seamless.
Satisfaction Guarantee: Your happiness is our priority. If your new partner doesn’t work out, we’ll assist you in rehoming the horse and finding a more suitable match (though this situation is rare!).

Sadly, the horse world is filled with scams and unethical practices, and I’m dedicated to helping you avoid these pitfalls. With years of experience buying and selling horses, I’ve encountered everything from scams to horses being sold as sound when they’re not. But I’ve also built relationships with many trusted sellers who I know offer quality horses and had many wonderful experiences buying horses.

Horse shopping should be an exciting experience, and we’re here to make it just that. Let us help you find your perfect match! www.thehorseshopper.ca

"Fuerst Frost" aka Frost
Available for $ @ L E
13yo Hannoverian × TB gelding.
Standing 16.2hh

Frost has been back in consistent work since August, after having a year off due to time constraints of his owner. With the 3 months he has been in a program, he has shown that he loves to work and he loves consistency.

Frost has done some low level eventing, and with some more time and training over the winter, it won't take much to get him back in the show ring.

Frost is a forward ride, but rides in a jointed snaffle. He has a great sense of the leg aids, and will happily leg yield. Frost has been back over fences a handful of times, since gaining back his fitness and really enjoys it.

Suitable for a confident ammy or junior ready for a project in a program.

Frost is barefoot, and UTD on all shots & teeth (just done 2 weeks ago). He is ready to kick start in your program and would love a person of his own.

Please have your parent or coach contact me if you are under 18.

💐SOLD💐

Belle / Ima Flyin Hot Tee
Available for $ A L E

Belle is a beautiful 15.2hh 2011 registered QH Mare.
Belle is suited to an experienced home. She exhibits "mareish" behaviors, and needs a confident & experienced rider/handler.
Originally purchased from a southern state, where she was a winning 2D Barrel horse (videos available), and has competed at the high school rodeo level as well as local rodeos in recent years.
Belle has not been regularly ridden since last year due to time constraints. She will need a refresher when brought back into work. Owner can ride her at the showing, but no trial rides to viewers will be offered at this time. She thrives with consistency, and I don't think it would take much at all to get her back into shape to hit the rodeos this summer. Owner can run her on a barrel pattern at viewings. She would also make an excellent broodmare.
She does require some maintenance with gut support (supplements.)
Belle can offer a bite and buck - she has had a full body scan at UoG to eliminate causes for pain to explain her attitude. These scans can be sent to serious buyer's veterinarian - they did not provide any reasoning for her attitude/no findings. However, her attitude has improved drastically in the last few weeks while being treated for suspected ulcers.
She is currently stalled at night, and is paddocked with another mare who is high on the pecking order.
Currently barefoot & UTD on teeth, has been shod before.
PPE welcomed at buyers expense. Located in Utopia (15 mins west of Barrie.)
This mare was originally purchased for mid 5 figures, she is being offered for a steal at $9-5-O-O as her owner is moving soon and does not have the time to commit to her.
Please pm or email me at [email protected]
Videos available on request. Please have your parent/guardian or coach contact me if you are under 18.

This lucky older gelding has found a great home with a client that hired me to shop on their behalf.
He is going to live out his senior years as a trail horse, and participating in an EAL program for children.
Thanks for your trust and support Jacqueline, it was a pleasure working with you!
