"This was the easiest process ever. I spent about 2 hours searching online for a young horse for my student, sent her 5 possibilities with this horse being my top pick. She visited the horse who already had a clean PPE, got a second opinion from another vet and now we are expecting this girl to arrive in SC next weekend!
If the seller provides all pertinent information up front with clear videos, ready to share and the buyer has a realistic understanding and trusts the trainer’s judgment, the whole process can be so easy!"

"He is doing well, and I never cease to be thrilled to be his person…. Fleetwood is willing under saddle and the perfect mix of extravagance and amateur-friendliness. ...So much so, that we have four boarders looking for ISF horses all in hopes of getting a Fleetwood clone…. We were USDF/GAIG Region 6 AA Training Level Champions with a 73.295 and NWDF AA Training Level Champions with a 76.818. He ended the year at 6th in the nation for AA training level and 17th for AA first level. For all breeds, he is 2nd at AA training level and 3rd at AA first level…. I am having a blast.
Working with ISF is probably the best horse-buying experience one can have. Your commitment to transparency and full disclosure, coupled with professional and timely communications eases the stress of finding the right horse. I am grateful for having had the chance to work with you all when I purchased Fleetwood and anytime anyone in our barn (or outside of it) is looking, I am quick to point them toward ISF. While the horse one gets is, of course, the final reward and ultimate goal of the sales process, that process can be a terrifying and uncertain ordeal or a transparent and respectful exchange that works to ensure the well-being of the horse and the enduring satisfaction of their future human. With ISF, it is the latter."
"Albert is a dream come true. I have always followed Iron Spring Farm for at least a decade, with the goal that one day an ISF horse would be mine. With every new sales horse posted on their website, I would look at the amazing quality of the horses, all having beautiful movement and stunning good looks. When I saw Albert on the Iron Spring sales page, I picked up the phone and inquired about him.
The next part is a whirlwind for me. I was ecstatic, but naturally I had some reservations. I couldn't go meet him, much less ride him. I put all my trust in Samantha Collins, the Sales Manager at the time, and the stellar reputation of Iron Spring Farm. During my entire experience from that initial telephone discussion with Samantha, reviews of videos, coordination of the vet check, to the arrival of my very talented dressage partner to Massachusetts every detail, question, and any concern was dealt with professionally and with sincerity.
I am very proud to own Albert ISF- he is everything and more than I could have ever imagined. His elegance and talent in the dressage ring is amazing! Thank you Iron Spring Farm for my dream horse! I will keep you posted on our journey."
Just wanted to let you know that I am head-over-heels in love with Ysis. I got to ride her over the weekend and she was wonderful. She has quickly become a barn favorite. She has settled in nicely, chats up a storm with the "boys" and has been perfect in every way. If you and/or Lindsay are ever in the area and would like to visit her, please let me know. All the work put into her over the years at Iron Spring has made her very special. I am looking forward to having a long, fun, and rewarding partnership with her.

"I want to thank Iron Spring farm, all their staff, and in particular Sam Collins from the sales team, for connecting me to my dream Friesian horse, Eustis ISF.
Purchasing through ISF was a great experience from beginning to end. Sam was responsive to my emails, welcoming and informative during my farm tour, patient while I waited for the right match to become available, and overall supportive in the whole purchasing process including being flexible and available for pre-purchase exams, helping me organize the shipping of Eustis to his new home in Canada, and making sure I had all the right information and tools to start off our journey together. A client couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank you ISF - I hope to repeat the experience again in the future!!”

Floraya is a gem to work with and is a barn favorite for sure. She walks into the ring both at shows and at home and gives every exercise an 11 and has really come into her own this past year. Floraya and I are hoping to advance to the Low Jr/AO jumper division (1.20m) this upcoming season and my goal is to qualify for the zone 4 championships in Tryon and AO jumper finals at the Devon horse show. As a whole Flo has really helped me advance as a rider and horsewoman."
