oec dressage worldwide - Selling your horse
If you are having trouble selling your horse then let OEC Dressage Worldwide explain why it would be worth considering sending your horse to us to sell for you.
With over 30 years experience in selling and sales preparation of horses, Oec Dressage Worldwide are the experts in this field.
We advertise in all the national and local magazines and the horses are also advertised on the British Dressage, OEC Dressage Worldwide, and the Horse Quest websites. We will also this year be advertising horses on the Horse and Country TV Channel. This means that your horse will be viewed by people all over the country and also abroad via the websites. Considering the expansive media coverage we offer it will only cost the owner a one off payment of £300. We will advertise your horse elsewhere should you wish but this will not be covered in the one off payment and will be an additional cost.

The owner will not need to worry about showing the horse to prospective clients at OEC Dressage Worldwide. We deal with that for you and the horse will be turned out as though it is going to a show. Advanced riders will ride the horse in front of the clients and show the horse off to its best ability. Then we will offer a free lesson to the client to help them gel with the horse. The client will then be able to see the horse in the stable untacked etc. and talk to the rider.
The British Horse Society Approved Horse Sellers Scheme
Oec Dressage Worldwide will join a pilot initiative launched by British Horse Society called the ‘Approved Horse Sellers Scheme’. “As one of our long standing BHS Approved establishments”, BHS Senior Executive, Mrs. Christine Doran, approached Owner and Director of Oec Dressage Worldwide, Ian Winfield, to see whether he would be interested in participating in the scheme. With a reputation for striving for excellence in all equestrian matters, Mr. Winfield approved of the scheme and is now a member. Many people view buying a horse from a commercial seller or dealer with some skepticism. Buying from a BHS Approved Horse Seller, like Oec Dressage Worldwide, you can be assured of the very best standards, which will enable you to buy with confidence. It also offers a number of advantages like the chance to view and trial a number of horses in one place, which Oldencraig has been doing for many years. Mr Winfield believes that this scheme will continue to build on Oec Dressage Worldwide's reputation as a trustworthy establishment from which you can confidently buy your next superstar to suit a wide range of budgets.

We also receive clients from all over the world who come to view our horses, and as part of the service we will pick them up from the airports. Local accommodation is arranged for them. Clients like coming to us as they are able to view a wide selection of world class horses with impeccable breeding over a couple of days and they rarely go home empty handed.
OEC Dressage Worldwide has a worldwide reputation due to the hard work and dedication of Ian Winfield and Vicki Thompson Winfield (Olympic team rider and trainer).
