Buying Trips


Considering nearly all of the U.K.'s top horses being imported or bred from Dutch and German bloodlines, travelling to Europe to find your future horse seems the obvious choice. With EDS, a trip to the Netherlands or Germany, really could not be easier. We are highly experienced in compiling a selection of horses for you to trial over one or more days. 

Utilising our loyal group of trusted suppliers, EDS offer an ever changing selection of quality dressage horses for all budgets and requirements. With happy clients in England, Ireland, Norway, South Africa, Holland, Nigeria, America, the Isle of Man and Sweden, our buying trips are always in high demand. 

With flights to Holland so affordable, why travel to every corner of England to pay a premium for already imported horses, when with EDS you can go straight to the source? We will meet you at the airport, and from there, every detail is covered. Trainers are of course always welcome. 

Travel

Travel couldn't be easier. By car you can reach the Eindhoven (our dutch 'base') is only 2-3 hours from Calais. With the Eurotunnel from £22.00 each way, this is one of the most popular ways to visit. If air travel is easier we offer a complimentary airport collection service as standard to all of our clients. Private air travel is also possible by arrangement, please contact us to discuss aircraft available.

Hotels
We are able to take care of any required hotel reservations for you. Whether you simply require a 'Business' hotel, or should you wish to retire to more luxury during the duration of your stay, we are able to find a suitable place. It is also not unusual for us to organise Golf etc. for 'non-dressage' other halves!

How to get started

If you think a trip abroad is the way forward for you, the first step is to get in touch with us. Once we have an idea of your desired horse, provided we feel we can find it within your budget, we will get straight to work compiling a selection of horses for you to view. 

Once a date is set and travel arrangements are made, you can relax. You may need to, with up to 40 horses to view a day! All of our partners have top class trial facilities for you to trial ride their horses indoors and outside. We will be on hand to offer you advice on all of the horses you will view, and are also happy to ride any before you, to put you at ease! 

Please contact us for a no obligation chat about your needs, we hope we can be of assistance.
