Giving you clarity and confidence when looking for your next event horse.
I HAVE TWO KEY GOALS FOR OUR CLIENTS
To maximise their chance of success ; by identifying the best performing horses in the sport for their specific goals. To minimise their chance of regret ; by giving them a transparent view of the market so they can identify
value and ensure no top prospects are missed."
CLIENT EXPERIENCE
“The EquiRatings approach to horse acquisitions is revolutionary in the equestrian world - relying on data rather than feelings. The comprehensive reporting and insightful discussions facilitated by Sam, Diarmuid and their team were a breath of fresh air. Their engagement in calls with our owners demonstrated a level of expertise and commitment that significantly elevated our decision- making process. EquiRatings is now an indispensable part of our horse acquisition strategy. We
cannot recommend their services highly enough".

THE THREE FACTORS THAT WILL INFLUENCE YOUR DECISION
PERFORMANCE We review proven, objective performance data on 8,000+ horses, supported by insights from over 15 years of analysis and 40,000+ horses evaluated.
POTENTIAL We use the experience of five-star riders reviewing videos to ensure that what we see on paper is worth considering further. PRICE We call every rider to ascertain a potential price for the horse. This allows a purchaser to compare price alongside performance and potential and make a call on the most important element of all, value.

TWO LEVELS OF SERVICE
At EquiRatings, we understand that horse buyers have diverse goals and preferences when it comes to finding the right horse. That’s why we’ve created two distinct service levels tailored to meet different needs:
Horse Search Complete A premium, full-service with all data, videos and analysis available. This is an upfront flat-fee service. Horse Search Lite
A more traditional approach to agency. This is a no-purchase, no-fee service.
Whichever option you choose, we are confident you’ll receive a level of service and transparency that allows you to make this decision with a totally different level of confidence.
If you make subsequent purchases, the fee structure adjusts to be cost-effective (€10,000 or 7.5% of the purchase price, whichever is lower).
HORSE SEARCH COMPLETE
€10,000 Flat Fee | No commission fee from buyer or seller
Why Choose This?
When making an investment of this size, we believe that you see the whole landscape. What do I need? What else is out there? This option is designed for buyers seeking a comprehensive, data-driven approach to ensure success in their equestrian pursuits.
What It Includes:
What It Takes to Win: Winning an Olympics requires a different profile to winning a CCI5*, we know that. We work with you to understand your goals and we show you the way in which the scoring profile for that goal is achieved (more detail below). The Search: We identify every horse globally who matches the scoring profile required for you to match your goals. The Draft: We work through the list with you. We call every rider to see if they could be purchased and for what price. You will have access to this list as it happens. Viewing and Vetting: We will put you in touch with the riders and advise of availability. You will arrange your own vetting and funds transfer etc.
HORSE SEARCH LITE
No-Purchase, No-Fee Service
Why Choose This?
This is a good starting point for those unsure of how to proceed. There’s no upfront cost, making it accessible to those who are exploring their options.
What It Includes:
Curated Selection: You’ll receive a selection of horses that meet your specific performance criteria, carefully chosen from our extensive database. Pay Only on Success: You pay a 7.5% commission of the purchase price only after successfully completing a sale.
WHY WOULD I CHOOSE THE COMPLETE SERVICE? Finding the right horse really depends on what you are looking to achieve. We take you on this journey. It starts with what it takes to win. Understand the sport
The phase influence and the attributes required from a horse can be very different depending on the level of competition, the type of format and the target venue. The Olympic Games, with two rounds of show jumping and a reduced cross-country grade, is one of the few formats where show jumping has the most influence (45%), and cross-country the least (20%), influencing breeding trends. At lower levels (CCI2*-L), cross-country drops to 16%, while dressage rises to 49%.
THE ANALYSIS & DRAFT
We will join you on a call and show your how the search works and every horse in the world who could be considered. Once we understand your goal, we begin the search to find your perfect partner. The first list is long - but we ensure here that no horse is slipping through the net. Going to France or Germany but not sure where to start? You should start with a list of every horse in that country which matches your performance requirements.
We then distill the long list, with the support of video and pricing information, into the top 1% of suitable horses. We will develop this list with you to help you make a decision on who you should go see.
