Smoky River Sport Horse Buyer/Rider Feedback My 12 year old daughter had been riding for years and was now ready for a new horse to match her ability. We looked and looked for a long time and could not find anything to suit our needs and were becoming quit frustrated. We wanted a fairly young horse, big and athletic, and yet had some decent training. We thought we were not going to find anything until we stumbled upon an add for Smoky River Sport Horses and one horse in particular caught my daughters eye. So we headed to the Smoky River Farm thinking this would probably be another futile trip. BOY were we wrong! We were immediately welcomed as part of the family. We spent 4 days there riding and trying horses and being looked after by the LaValley family. I truly felt that I was dealing with people who I could trust and were committed to providing us with a great horse. We have now brought home our new horse, Sly. He is athletic, willing and with out a doubt, the best natured horse I have ever seen. He has come to us with lots of exposure to every kind of riding. We cannot get him to spook at anything! I have had several people come up to me and ask where we bought our new horse, and the first thing they say is "Do they have anymore like him? What an incredible horse! Thank you Brandy,Travis, Arne and Elain for your hospitality and a great horse. I did not think it was possible to find such an athletic horse, along with such an incredible dispostion. We have indeed found the perfect horse! - Christine and Sierra Mennis ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's not an easy task finding the perfect horse for you. Brandy did an amazing job fitting my personality with a horse before we had even met. It was so easy, and their family was so helpful and nice. Trooper is everything that I wanted him to be and more. He is great, I love his personality. I would recommend anyone I know who is interested in buying a horse to them. Thanks again! - Tennille Ehnes --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Smoky River Sport Horses has an outstanding breeding program producing athletic intelligent calm and out standing conformation characteristics. I cant say enough about the thought and care that goes into the selection process to end up such well put together horses. After meeting the people with Smoky River Sport Horses and seeing there work first hand I will be purchasing my second colt from them. - Sincerely Darrin Hartzell ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thank you Brandy and Arne for making my search for a new horse so easy. I told you what I was looking for and you knew exactly what horse would fit the bill. I drove out to look at Ransom and he was all that you had described him to be and then some. I would without a doubt recommend you to anyone that I know who is looking for a horse for any English discipline. I would not have any issues with buying my next horse from you guys without coming out to look at it. I would take your word over the phone any day. You guys are great and I think that some of the other breeders should take lessons from you on honesty and etiquette. Thanks again, and I will be sending lots of pictures of Ransom as he grows. - Rebecca Merchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As a professional rider and trainer, I have had a lot of experience with the buying and selling of horses. I have never been more impressed with the overall experience I garnered from Smoky River Sport Horses and the people there. From the very beginning, I was greeted with respect and kindness, and special attention was taken care that the horse I was looking for was going to be the best possible match for the rider. Not only are they extremely careful about the quality of horse they provide, but that the horse is going to work out as well as it can. Any questions I had were answered honestly and openly, and all information provided for me, including abundant pictures and video clips. Upon arriving, Dandy impressed us even more than we expected. Not only was he everything promised, but he turned out to be an absolute joy to ride. The soundness of mind is just as important as the soundness of the body, and these horses have it all. They are very personable, very ride-able, and are all top quality horses suited for every level. Arne builds a wonderfully strong foundation into them, and the horses learn to collect, ride well, and remain light and responsive to the rider. He also exposes them to a plethora of surroundings, so the horses are sensible in and out of the arena, which certainly aides them in adjusting to new surroundings. The consistency with which these horses are brought along and maintained is remarkable. My experience has continued to be wonderful here, and I am proud to have had the experience working with them. I personally recommend them as top choice to anyone seeking the best in quality horses and an overall gratifying experience. - Erika Fink -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have talked to so many people about horses, and I must say you stand out at the top. The reason that I say that is that even though you are a very accomplished horse person you have a wonderful down to earth way about you that is very appealing. I appreciated you taking the time to give me a hand with my questions and such, knowing how busy you must be. Thanks so much. - Natalie Schuck ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My daughter had always dreamed of having a horse, thus began the adventure looking for a suitable horse. Our journey took us to many breeders, then finally we met Brandy and Arne. With just a few questions they were quickly able to determine my daughter’s vision of a perfect horse and at the same time they were able to assess her riding capabilities. Arne and Brandy took extra care so that that horse and rider are suited for each other. Their family was so patient as we were trying to decide on a horse. Any questions I had were answered honestly and openly. I can’t say enough, having spent many days with them I truly appreciate their honesty and their training. Their horses have beautiful natures and I am sold on the Trakhener Breed. Smoky River Sport Horses were honest and their love for their horses is very apparent. Not only that but their after service has been OUTSTANDING as well.. Thank you Arne, Elaine and Brandy its been a pleasure! - Ronel Skinner ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for the warm welcome and the excellent buying experience you and your family provided. I feel you all helped me pick a horse that suits me and will carry me far. I appricate your efforts and enabling me to ride the horse under several consitions. I was able to watch him as well as handle him myself. I feel that you have given Big Smoke excellent training that will last him all his life. When a horse is started correctly and has good foundation, it enables him to learn more quickly and without fear. I also appricated the help with the export process. I hope to return! - Marcella Lambert
