Sales Testimonials

Jannabelle ISF

"Thank you Iron Spring for an exceptional sales experience from start to finish. Quinnten Alston Sales Manager was professional and excellent to work with! I can’t thank the farm enough for providing me with the horse of my dreams. Jannabelle ISF has met all of my expectations in training and temperament and I look forward to our future together! This farm will always be highly recommended."
-Jennifer Keneston of Sand Lake, NY

Promise ISF, Star

"I can't express enough how appreciative I am for your professionalism throughout the process of trying, vetting and purchasing Promise. It is a pleasure to work with folks who are honest, candid and forthright - it is, in my experience, rare to find those qualities in a horse deal. We couldn't be happier with our decision to purchase Promise, and I hope you, ISF, and the owner are as pleased with the outcome as we are. You can bet you haven't gotten rid of me with the completion of this deal - in the future, we'll look to you early in the process to see if you have something for sale that fits the bill. We have a very short list of sellers we actually feel we can trust (maybe 5-6 total), and so whom we prefer to deal with. Our experience with you and ISF definitely adds y'all to that short list. I hope you can tolerate me for future business together. I will also share with my peers in the hunter/jumper discipline the positive experience we've had with ISF, which, I hope will benefit you for future sale horses."
-Maria Miragliotta of Ellicott City, MD

Radiant ISF

"I just wanted to let you know Radiant and I had a lovely day of bonding today. I am so thankful for the love and care she has had in her early training at Iron Spring. I also wanted to acknowledge what seemed like Becky's part in that. She is so receptive to me and I think it must be due to her. And so, I am very impressed with the farm and every person there who was involved. Like I said the day we came down, I know she and I will be great friends. Thank you again."
-Laurel Blackmore of NY

Orion ISF

"I just wanted to thank ISF again for everything during the process of purchasing Orion. He came off the trailer today so chill and that instantly relaxed me. In his stall he went right for the hay, relaxed, and drank some water. I was able to handwalk him around the farm, up and down the barn aisles and he wanted to see all the horses. We handgrazed him twice for as long as we could stand the horrible wind today. I’m just so thrilled with him…. Thank you again and I promise to do the absolute best for him.
- Deb and Gary Maurer of Allentown, PA

Devita ISF

"Devita is my dream come true. She is beautiful, kind, and a very brave 4 year old. Thank you so much to Iron Spring Farm and Quinnten Alston for making the entire process so easy…. I would recommend [that] anyone looking for a beautiful and quality horse to [check out] Iron Spring Farm."
-Mary DeFranco of Crystal Lake, IL

Margot ISF

"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!"

-Deanna Corby is a dressage trainer in Columbia, SC

Fleetwood ISF, Star

"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 ISF, Star

"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."

-Marylynn Marvuglio

Tabitha ISF

"She handled her first show so well from the start by loading into the 2 horse straight load trailer without pause and could not have asked for a better experience from her throughout the weekend. Besides scoring so nicely, [68.63% and a second place ribbon at Training 3 at the SLADS Fall Dressage Classic] she also has a sweet and easy going personality. Impressive at her age! Great fit for me. Thanks again!”
-Owner, Mary Powell

Windhorse Ysis

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.

Eustis ISF

"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 ISF, Star

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."

–Olivia Swanson, owner and rider

Godiva ISF

"My experience with ISF has been top notch in every way. As an aspiring young breeder and recreational rider, I appreciated the time spent, attention to detail, and willingness to discuss their horses and my needs in order to find the perfect match. Beyond the wonderful sales experience, my favorite part of my ISF relationship is the ongoing support and friendship that has been extended. The many years of experience and commitment to excellence makes ISF the easy choice for me. So much so that I have already returned as a repeat buyer :)"
-Jennifer Frey

Kasandra ISF

"I wanted to update you on Kasandra. She's doing great. She went to her first show yesterday at Swan Lake. She took everything in stride and nothing bothered her. She was second in both her PA bred class and Non TB filly class... I'll keep you updated on her progress. Next stop: Sallie Wheeler National Championships in August."
Kasandra ISF, by Florianus II, owned by Jill Reilley

Victor ISF

"He takes my breath away and I still can't believe I have the extreme privilege of owning and loving this magnificent animal. I had a wonderful lesson on him today. He responds to all of his aids so well. His canter is as you said, a dream. Best, Nancy”
-Jennifer Keneston of Sand Lake, NY

Destiny ISF

"Update from Caber Trials this weekend. De brings home the Blue ribbon. She looked fantastic in cross country and jumpers, this time the cross country she had a ditch and water feature as required obstacles and plowed past them with ease. You can see her runs on YouTube in the Destiny ISF channel." Destiny ISF, by Roemer, Pref., is owned by Vish and Cindy Balasubramanian

Isadora ISF, Star
