Testimonials
Here at Sevenoaks Farm we sell a wide range of dressage horses, from the Hanoverian foals we have bred, right through to proven competition horses, our own and clients. We have put a lot of time into studying bloodlines to create your next champion, and a lot of hours in the saddle training your next performance horse. We love our horses wholeheartedly, and pride ourselves on finding the perfect new home for them, when the time comes to sell. We are honest and upfront, and we genuinely hope that we can match one of our beautiful horses with the perfect new rider. Here's what some of our previous clients have to say......
Thanks to COVID I did something I never thought I would - purchase a saddle horse sight unseen. However Sevenoaks helped eliminate my fears - being timely and professional with responses to my messages, proving photos and video as requested and giving an accurate description of the mare - undersaddle and personality traits. When the mare arrived (1200km trip)it was clear that she had been well cared for by Sevenoaks team during her time with them. I was provided all her registration paperwork plus ‘management information’ (feed details, date of last worming, dental and showing)
My experience?? I’d highly recommend Sevenoaks.

My experience with Kaitlin and Sevenoaks Farm is one I won’t forget and am incredibly grateful for. In such a short time Kaitlin had polished, prepped and promoted the potential in my mare far beyond my expectations and found a suitable show home to continue her journey. From the training to presentation and then to handling the sale trusting Sevenoaks Farm was the best decision I made. The quality of care and caliber of horses - I can not wait for the day I can BUY a horse off Kaitlin! Thanks again, Shawnee.

I couldn’t recommend Kaitlin highly enough. I bought a horse earlier this year and was very impressed with Kaitlin’s professionalism and attention to detail. The whole process was very easy and smooth. Kaitlin is a lovely, knowledgeable, kind rider/trainer. I have continued regular lessons with her and am very happy with our improvement. I wouldn’t hesitate in sending my horse for further education or recommending Kaitlin for sale prep, training and lessons.

I would like to say a huge, huge, huge thank you to Kaitlin. I recently made the tough decision to sell my beautiful mare. The whole process was beautifully and carefully handled, allowing my mind to be put at ease. Kaitlin was so delightful in giving me regular updates and ensured that my mare received the best of care. The advertisement produced by Kaitlin was outstanding and certainly did the trick- with my mare selling within a week of its publishing!! Kaitlin ensured this whole process was stress free for me and I knew she had my, and my mares, best interest at heart. So again, thank you, thank you, thank you Kaitlin, you're amazing xxx.

We recently had the pleasure of dealing with Kaitlin to sell our very special 3yo gelding by Prestige VDL. The entire process was handled with such professionalism, care and attention to detail. We had very specific criteria on the type of home our boy was to go to and it was such a hard reluctant sale ... however kaitlin kept in constant contact and always reassured us, often spending hours just chatting. Her knowledge and level of expertise helped to educate him and it was ...lovely to watch him continue to grow into a young horse from the baby he was when he left us. Kaitlin always presented our boy in immaculate condition and followed up on every lead. I know she went above and beyond to help us find the perfect match. Throughout this process she has become more than just a horse acquaintance ... she has become a good friend.
I would not hesitate to use her again to assist with the sale of another horse.

I purchased Sevenoaks Quintano as a young foal sight unseen after seeing him advertised on social media. Immediately I was taken with Quin’s photographs and amazing blood lines so decided to investigate further. Purchasing sight unseen I had many questions about Quin which Kaitlin answered with openness and honesty. Without meeting Quin I felt like I knew so much about him from my conversations with Kaitlin. Kaitlin is an absolute pleasure to deal with, her transparency through the sale process made the purchase of Quin stress free. I knew he was the horse for me and knew we’d be ideally matched.
Since arriving in Melbourne Quin has settled into his new environment perfectly.
Kaitlin has produced a magnificent young foal with the most amazing temperament which is a testament to her breeding program. I can highly recommend Kaitlin to anyone wanting to purchase their next star horse.

I cannot express my graditude for being able to purchase the most beautiful horse I have ever owned, Sevenoaks Luciana, bred and trained by Kaitlin.
An honest and trustworthy breeder who produces superstar quality horses with trainability and rideability that the average rider needs. The support doesn't stop when the money exchanges hands. She truly cares about her horses and their welfare.
I feel privileged and hope 'Elle' and I will do the Sevenoaks name proud :)
