Dit is wat onze klanten zeggen:

Flore at WINhorses found my next dressage partner Mojo. Buying off video is a little nerve wracking. Mojo exceeded my expectations. Flore did an excellent job matching Mojo to me. I shared that in my 50s I wanted a safe sweet reliable horse who had potential for upper levels. She handled the entire process professionally. Always available when I had questions. I am so excited to see what the future holds for Mojo and I. Thank you so much Flore.

I purchased Menneke T in August, 2022. Flore was wonderful to work with. Mennke arrived exactly as he was described and is such a cool horse. Flore kept us updated throughout out the entire import process (this was my first time importing a horse), even send videos along the way! I would purchase another horse from Flore and recommend WinHorses VOF for your European horse source. Thank you!

My sweet, snuggly Mondi turns 5 years old next week and I couldn't love him more! ❤️❤️❤️ He's a goof ball and loves his people (especially when they bring him treats! 😁). I'm so glad he came into my life. Thank you to all who have gotten him this far, especially Benjamin Pfabe, his amazing trainer! Thanks too to Eva-Lynn van Zon, his breeder, and Flore De Winne, who sells the most talented young horses! Thank you all!

If I say so myself. Britt and Kingston (Uphill x Jazz) are the BEST team I could have. His development over the past months has been beyond belief. His talent and brains have been released thru Britts soft kind hands and exquisite deliveries of the aids. He is calm and relaxed when asking for changes, which are seamless (thank you Bernard for your artful eye) he is sustaining a counter canter ( thank you Grant for your skill and tips) Thank you Britt for love and devotion to Kingston and me. For coming to IHD once a month, suggesting clinicians for us. My riding with him is so pleasurable, his transitions are smooth. I can’t thank you enough. Thank you Neo my Ferrier, Sal my message king and Christine at Atlantic Equine for his care. And Whitney Lane for providing the closest natural environment and dedicated staff for all the horses!!! As for me, I’m hacking all over with him. Lol. Oh and Kasey and Caddy for being our travel pals!!!! The best company 🤩 And Flore De Winne who had the perfect horse for me!!! She’s the most trusted importer I know!!!!

Purchased the sweetest Fine Royal from Winhorses sight unseen in December of 2021. I had never imported a horse before, or purchased without trying. Flore made the entire process extremely easy and quick. In addition to the ease of the sale, Royal shocks us every day with his incredibly kind demeanor, intelligence, and rideability. At only three he takes such good care of his humans, is so confident and always willing to learn more. Looking forward to all that is to come with him. Thank you so much, Winhorses!

My beautiful horse Devon has been here for a few weeks now. He is everything Flore described him as and more. He is such a gentleman…..She was so easy to work with, so personable, always available to talk to ( I don’t think she sleeps) professional and understanding ….. it’s not everyday one buys a horse from a video but my experience was an excellent one and Flore would be the first place I go to if I ever am looking again. Thank you

Two years ago, I never would have dreamed that I would purchase a horse sight unseen, much less import one from Europe! But then Covid happened and, with travel limitations, I needed to restructure my horse search. Working with Flore was a delight ~ she is very responsive and provided all of the information that my Vet requested to make me feel comfortable about the long distance purchase. Winhorses' Socks is everything that she said he would be and I am thrilled with my new boy! I would recommend Flore without reservation.

Thank you for my most perfect horse, Milestone. He’s exactly as you described, but even more wonderful. I appreciate your responsiveness and open communication, while also navigating the time difference with the US. I could not be happier with my purchase and would encourage any US buyer to get in touch with you. I’ll be calling you again when I’m ready for a second horse! Thank you! Angel, Wellington Florida.

I decided in the middle of a Pandemic to sell my horse and buy a new one. My trainer and I watched endless videos from all over the US but not sure how to try one. My trainer followed WinHorses and really loved what she offered. Since we really couldn’t travel anywhere we reached out to Flore. We bought Kyo and he his a puppy dog. She represents her horses very well. The purchase and import went flawlessly! I continue to see what she has to buy another one. I have told others about her horses ♥️

I am thrilled beyond belief with the young horse I acquired from Flore De Winne and WinHorses VOF! Mondriaan Lynn is everything that Flore said he’d be and so much more! Bought as a three-year old, he has lovely natural gaits, a willingness to please, and a puppy dog personality. He is so very special! And he’s the sweetest horse in the barn! I never thought that I would purchase a horse just from videos without trying him out - especially one from Europe! But Flore was super responsive and answered all my questions. She even made new videos with an amateur riding this young horse so that I could see that he would be amateur friendly! She made the buying process easy and handled all of the import arrangements with ease. Flore has a great eye for exceptional young horses and presents them for sale in an honest, caring manner. I would buy from Flore again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Flore!

Thank you Flore and WinHorses team for pairing me with the best young horse I could ask for!!! Not being able to travel and meet the horses first is stressful, but you did everything you could to ease my mind and answer every single question. (Which was a lot! 😂) You made the purchasing and shipment so easy by handling every aspect of it, almost to my front door! THANK YOU! And as far as my new, sweet boy... He is everything you said he would be, and more than I ever expected. He is an absolute perfect match for what I was looking for, if not even better. I know I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know, but he tries so hard to please and understand anything that is asked of him. He is an absolute gentleman, he is joy to be around, and I cannot wait to continue our journey. 😁😁 I could not have asked for better! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🥰

I purchased Benito from Flore in August just by speaking with Flore and watching videos since travel wasn’t allowed at the time. Flore was great to work with and listened to what I wanted in my next partner. Beni is everything I hoped for and I’m thrilled I took the chance. I love that Flore cares about her horses and follows up to see how they are doing. Thank you, Flore for my new partner and friend!

My client recently purchased a 3-year-old from Flore sight-unseen and if possible, he is even better than described. From the second he got to California he has been easy to handle and an absolute dream to ride. Truly an amateur friendly temperament with professional quality movement in a young horse with a fantastic start! The nicest I have ever ridden. Flore was incredibly easy to work with, professional, fast to respond, had a fantastic selection of quality horses and made the entire process easy for my client and myself. I would absolutely buy more horses from Winhorses.

I would definitely recommend Flore to anyone shopping for great quality horses. I bought 2 young horses at the same time, sight unseen, a couple years ago and it was the most honest, uncomplicated and professional experience I could have imagined. Flore is a wonderful rider and very patient, accommodating person who really cares about the horses and people she interacts with. I’m over the moon with my horses and would 100% buy from her over and over again. I send all my friends her way because I know they will be delighted with the service and horses Flore offers.

At the risk of sounding suspiciously similar to what other posters and buyers have said, I too am a crazy American horse lady who bought a horse from Flore De Winne/WinHorses VOF without going over to try him. After all our messages and conversations before the actual purchase, Flore said to me “you will only know how lucky you are once you see him.” She was 100% right! I am so in love, after not even two weeks since he was delivered to me. He is so chill and so sweet, just as described, and is such a lovely mover, with a great work ethic and eagerness to please. We had a little blip the day after he arrived when he sprung a shoe and pricked the sensitive part of the hoof wall with a nail, but this super guy patiently stood in a tub of warm water with Epsom salts for several days and let me pack and wrap his hoof without complaint. He was good as new in a few days and carted me around this weekend as if he’s been doing it forever. Looking forward to where we go from here, and am so grateful for Flore and her wonderful eye, her exquisite riding and training, and her patience with me!! Anyone who is considering a purchase from WinHorses and is unsure should feel free to get in touch with me. Can’t recommend highly enough!!!!

I recently did something I never thought I would do before which is to buy a horse off of a video without going to see him first! Flore de Winne was wonderful to work with, she took all the time we needed to answer all our questions and happily sent pictures when asked. In partnership with Nadia Estes, we bought Barclay, a coming 4 year old gelding (Bernay x Fuerst Heinrich). He is even better in person than we dared hope he would be! He is exactly how he was described and much more! Flore is a beautiful rider and gave him an excellent foundation! I would do business with her again in a heartbeat!

I have been looking all over the US for a horse. My trainer contacted Flore. She couldn’t have been any nicer. She said she had the perfect horse for me. I was skeptical since I had not seen or ridden this horse. I can’t say enough positive things about Flore. The horse was exactly as she described. I am very pleased. He has a wonderful disposition. Flore has stayed in touch with me. She truly cares that I am happy with my horse. I strongly recommend Flore to anyone looking to purchase a horse.

I never in a million years would have thought that I would have bought a horse off the internet, and from another country to top it off! But here I am, and wow was that a great decision. After not quite finding what I needed when horse shopping in my immediate area, I saw an ad for Dr. Pepper pop up on my timeline. I messaged Flore to get some basic information, and she was so responsive and offered up plenty of detail about him. One of my barn mates recently imported a horse from Flore, and he was so lovely that I told Flore I was looking for a horse just like this horse (except smaller 🙃). Dr. Pepper fit the bill on all accounts, and I was provided with beautiful, clean xrays for my vet to review. Once Dr. Pepper arrived, I was immediately so happy that he was just as kind and adorable as described. He has very polite manners, moves just as beautifully as his videos, and loves attention. The whole transaction process was smooth sailing- Flore answered every single question immediately (does she ever sleep??) and made me feel very comfortable and secure in my choice. I had Dr. Pepper at my barn in a little over a week after the transaction cleared. Thank you to Flore for having a great eye when picking horses! Dr. Pepper is very loved ❤️

Nooit gedacht dat ik een juist zadelmak paard zou kopen (ik was op zoek naar een verder doorgetraind jong paard) tot ik de bloedmooie merrie op fb van Flore zag. Toen de merrie vooreerst aan de longe werd gepresenteerd, zag ik meteen dat ze bovengemiddelde kwalitatieve gangen toonde. Nadat mij in alle openheid de geschiedenis van deze merrie werd verteld, alsook dat ze over een heel goed karakter beschikte, kocht ik meteen deze topper in spe. Nu drie maanden later nog geen seconde spijt van onze oogstrelende merrie, die inderdaad een werkwillig braaf karakter heeft. Top!

I bought an amazing 4 year old mare from Flore in August 2019. I had never imported or purchased a horses sight unseen before, but it was the best decision I ever made. Flore was so helpful and made the entire process so easy. All the logistics and costs of importing were taken care of. My girl ended up being even better than I was expecting and I pinch myself every day knowing how lucky I am to have a horse like her. Not only does she have all the talent/potential I could ask for, but she also has an amazing brain/disposition and a fabulous training foundation, thanks to Flore. I am so excited for the future with this mare and am excited to see her progress in her dressage career! Thanks Flore and WinHorses VOF!

When I lost my 19 year old Intermediare 1 horse suddenly to colic in March I was devastated. I had bought him as an unbroke 4 year old and we moved up through the levels together. I couldn't even imagine dancing with a new partner and the thought of looking for a new FEI baby was overwhelming. I thought I would never find another partner. Everything I saw online was not doing anything to make me feel better and then Flore posted a horse named Farrell that made my eyes light up again. Farrell of course sold very quickly but that started months of conversations as I quickly realized that all of Flore's babies were equally as gorgeous as the next one. I knew I would eventually find the right horse with her. After many, many conversations about what I was looking for Flore sent me the horse of my dreams, Feline (aka Foxy), and I fell in love!!😍😍 Flore was so patient with me and answered all of my million questions day or night, she made the process so comforting and easy. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would be importing my dream horse from Belgium!! When Foxy arrived he was everything she had described and so much more. She is amazing at representing her horses exactly as they are and with so much integrity. She has a great eye for talented young horses with rideability and great temperaments. Foxy is a beautiful young horse with 3 fantastic gaits and his training is first class!! He has amazing ground manners and is so confident everywhere he goes, most people don't believe he's only 4😀 It's very obvious that he was given a great start as a youngster in a home that gave him impeccable training and tender loving care daily. He loves attention and is so sweet you just want to put him in your pocket and take him everywhere with you!! If I could I would buy a dozen horses from Flore De Winne and WinHorses. Flore is so professional and you can tell she really cares about her horses. Thank you Flore for sending me my dream horse!! Can't wait to see where we go from here...the sky is the limit!!

Flore found me my dream horse. I live in the US. I discovered Flore and her website while searching for my next Dressage horse, thinking I would never find another horse as sweet, safe and kind as my retired Hanovarian. My first horse was born and breed in Europe, and quite frankly, I only wanted a Dressage horse born, bred and started in Europe. Hence my search! And I found Flore! And her beautiful horses. Only problem was, I hated to fly. So began our messenger relationship. My texting millions of questions, not once but the same questions over and over and over again. For months! “I want a gelding, 7+ yrs, safe, rideable, forgiving, 16hs .... I’m 60 I’d say. “ my questions went on and on. Flore answered every question, every time, any time of day!. I never gave up, neither did she. My friends said I was nuts to buy a horse I had never ridden. I’d say”I am nuts, I’m a horse person”. And then, 9 months later, along came Kingston Hill. He fit all my requirements. I pulled the trigger. Flore took care of all the transport details at a remarkable affordable price. Kingston Hill has proven to be more than I had ever asked for. I love him. Thank you Flore!!! Highly recommended to help you find your next partner.

What a great experience buying a new horse for the first time without seeing and riding it beforehand. I could not be happier with my new 5 yr old . He is everything Flore described and more ! A very complete set of films were available and I wanted back and neck views which were done along with a very thorough clinical exam which was videotaped for my vet here in the US to review. Transport was all arranged and I was kept informed all along the way . I have been looking since I sold my older horse last September, I’m so glad to have found this one and want to thank Flore for making it all work so easily! Plus she is a lovely rider and my youngster got some great training!

What a great horse I have from Flore! She clearly understood what horse would be suitable for me, and I couldn’t be happier! My horse Fundador is quite a personality, very snuggley and totally a gentleman under saddle with talent for whatever I decide I want to do with him. Flore was so gracious with all of my silly questions, and made the whole import process just a breeze. She even moved the arrival date up by a week when she found out I was leaving on vacation the day Fundador was to arrive. Thank you Flore for my beautiful boy, and for holding my hand through the import process! You are much appreciated.

My dressage trainer and my husband recently said “this is the perfect horse for you”. Rewind 5 months ago and I was pessimistic that I would find a horse I could afford to buy so I could retire my 18 yr old gelding I’ve had since birth much less ride another horse! I saw one of Flore’s ads. I reached out thinking nothing would come of it. I sent her a note and told her I was looking for a horse with an excellent temperament, in your pocket personality, 3 well balanced gaits, ride ability that a woman who no longer had cat like reflex’s could ride. To my surprise she said I have 3 that fit that profile!!! Once I picked Vinny, Flore made my first time import experience a dream come true. She is honest and dependable and caring about the welfare of the horse and prospective buyer. At times I was nervous and irrational lol. Flore remained confident Vinny was my perfect match. Now I am a believer and others reading this may have hope, doubt or fears. I would say to you—-take a chance on Flore and WINHORSES and imagine!

I bought a horse from Flore sight unseen. She sent me any video I wanted of the horse and was such a pleasure to talk to. She truly represents her horses honestly and with so much integrity. I knew from the moment I saw the horse and the description, he was the one. Flore made me even more confident I could purchase this incredible youngster without flying to Belgium to see him by treating every request and question with complete respect and honesty. The horse that arrived has been everything and more than I’d hoped! Thank you Flore and Family for giving me the opportunity to own Floris King. He is a gem! I look forward to more in the future!

This is the first time I have bought a horse without riding him before I agreed to buy him. I shared with Flore all of the things I was looking for in a horse and, what do you know, that is exactly what arrived at my door 😊. Flore is an excellent “matchmaker”. The entire buying experience was easy and straight forward. Communication was fantastic!! She sent pics of him loading on the lorrie, pics in the shipping container and a link to follow his flight. Thanks Flore. I would recommend working with Flore to anyone I know.

I had to retire my mare and was so emotional at the thought of looking for another horse. My trainer was fantastic. We watched the ads, made calls, tried horses and we talked about looking in Europe however, a bit hesitant about not trying. Then I saw Vic and it was love at first sight!! Flore was so easy to talk with, I could contact her in the middle of the night and she would answer me. She knew Vic and I would make a great pair and he would help put a smile back on my face. She helped me through all the emotional moments, gave me great information and made this big decision really pretty easy to make. I never felt I was making the wrong decision. And then Vic arrived in the states. Wahooo!! He is fabulous 🙂 such a good boy. Couldn’t be happier! Thank you Flore! sure hope we get to meet you soon!

For the last two years I have been trolling the internet for a horse to be my next partner. I came across my perfect match on Winhorses and messaged Flore about Larry. I found her to be very honest and great to deal with. I arranged a friend to look at him and after a glowing report I purchased him and he is now in my stable in Scone Australia. He is a beautiful horse and I only hope I can do him justice!! Thanks again for bringing us together
