Reference 1: A beauty collection of four exclusive stallions sold to the USA, May 2008

Hello Viktoria, I must tell you how very happy I am with my lovely boys!!!!!! I visited them last weekend in quarantine, and I am in love with them all! I am especially fond of Espartaco. Thank you so much for locating him again. I can’t believe that he is here! Many months ago I sent you an e-mail asking for your help to find my dream horse. I never thought at that time you would actually find me 4 dream horses, including # 114 I though I had lost forever. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!! It was excellent doing business with you. I only regret that i was unable to meet you in person!

Best regards, Bonnie McIlvaine

Reference 2: Palomino artist sold un-viewed to Kristine in England, May 2008

My instructor, Alex, was really impressed – she rides and competes lusos in the working equitation and is on the Great Britain team. She asked for your details as she said I was really lucky it is always a risk buying unseen but you must be really good at matching horse to rider and very straight and honest. A compliment in the horse trading world if ever there was one, and I fully agree.

Update: Just to let you know we are getting on really well – I absolutely adore him – he is really intelligent and quite affectionate – He really likes being around people. Everyone is very envious! He is very happy and settled and being thoroughly spoilt.

Update November 2008: ‘Perla won both his dressage classes on the weekend and has two red rosettes on his stable door, what a clever boy! The judge wrote ‘Lovely little horse!’ We are very proud! One lady asked if i wanted to sell him, have given her your number but ‘Perla’ will never be for sale.

Update 2014; 

Sadly I lost Perla about 5 weeks ago as I think they were very fond of him. He looked fantastic and to look at him one would never have guessed he was 20 years old but sadly his back legs became increasingly problematic – I paid for treatment on his tendons and had his joints injected but in the end he still was not confortable even on painkillers so I made the decision to say goodbye.  He had a lovely peaceful end and is buried under the tree in his favourite paddock.  He had a lovely life here and was a very happy horse and gave me so much pleasure and confidence – he was the most bombproof horse to hack.  He was sound until about 1 month before we lost him – but in the end the wear and tear suddenly caught up.  It would be nice to let them know he had a lovely life and had a peaceful end.
 
Danzador is fine – lovely horse and adored by all.  We do mainly schooling, hacking and the odd dressage competition – he is very chilled about life and a really kind person – he is also very, very clever.  He is very well indeed and spends half a day out at grass with his companion and half a day in the yard which seems to suit him very well. 

Reference 3: PRE sold to Canada, 2007 – Reference letter to prospective buyer.

Hello, I’m glad Viktoria gave you my name and you contacted me. I couldn’t be happier with the horse they found for me and the process they went through to ensure that I was satisfied and that this was the best possible horse for me. Viktoria and Javier went all over with me (I was lucky enough to be able to go over) and we looked at many horses and spent much time discussing the pros and cons of each. Viktoria knew what I was looking for and it wasn’t easy to find as I had a specific type of horse and movement (not to mention budget!) that had to be satisfied. I would not hesitate in the least to buy from them again (although Icaro will last me a long time!) or hesitate in the least to recommend someone to buy through them. The horse I got is everything and more than they said. They go to great lengths to make sure the horses are good and represent the breed. Over the years I’ve bought many horses and sold many and I can honestly say there are very few folks that i would recommend someone to buy a horse from without any reservations.. Viktoria is one.

Plmk if you’d like more info or any help with anything!

Monty.

Reference 4: PRE champion sold unseen to England.

Hi Viktoria, Malvie is lovely to ride and absolutely wonderful to handle; I am guessing his temperament is quite exceptional even for an Andalusian, and he is everything we wanted and more. We will not want to send him away for schooling when the winter comes!

Many thanks and kind regards,
Nicky, England.

Reference 5: Grand Prix master has arrived to Florida!

Dear Viktoria,

‘Hortelano’ has arrived and he is everything I hoped he would be. Beautiful, friendly and a dream to ride. I am so happy with him! He is now in quarantine. It is a nice clean, pleasant place, but I am looking forward to taking him home and will try not to spoil him too much!

Best regards, Mary Anne.

Reference 6: Dressage PRE stallion sold to Finland, 2009.

Hello Viktoria!

Caprichoso arrived in Finland almost two weeks ago and he’s been such a gentleman all the time! He was a little confused with all the snow and the cold air and got a little flue.

Now he’s gotten better and we’ve started to train him more and he’s so lovely to ride! My mother lost her heart to Capri also when he came home. Just amazing. When I was looking a dressage horse for competing I never imagined I would have a horse with such a high quality and capacity for the movements.

I couldn’t have hoped or dreamed for more, he is perfect in every imaginable way.
When I was in Spain training with you I fell in love with Capri when I first saw him, he was so beautiful and when I saw him on the move I was sold. Viktoria, you were amazing teacher I learned so much new things. And Capri was a lot of horse to ride!

I will probably go to my first international competitions with Capri and for that we have to train a lot, but hope that you will see us in the international stages in few years.

We wish everything good for you and if we need new horses we will come straight to you!

Emma & Capri, Finland.
