Why buy a horse bred in the United States?
Aren't the European bred horses better?
There are several advantages to buying in the
US. First, the horses we breed are European
bred horses. Our mares are either imported or
the daughters of imported mares. Our stallion
comes from a revered dam line that is still
active in Germany with top selling foals,
auction horses, and stallion candidates in both
Hanoverian and Oldenburg breeding. We also
selectively use imported semen to bring new
blood into our mare herd. Second, because we
breed German Oldenburg Verband horses, our
horsed are inspected by the same inspectors
that judge horses in Germany. Though our
foals are born in California, they are in the
same studbook and have the same status as
foals born in Germany. Third, with the dollar
falling sharply against the Euro ( currently
nearly $1.60 per 1 Euro) the costs of finding,
buying and importing a horse from Europe are
prohibitive for most riders. A 15,000 Euro horse
will cost over $32,000 by the time he reaches
American soil. Your money will go much further
here than it will abroad.
At Canterbury Court we have a number of
horses for sale. You may buy anything from
pre-foaling to made horses and schoolmasters.
If we don't have the appropriate horse for you,
our contacts in the United States and Europe
can help you find your next partner. Pre-foaling
prices start at $5000, foal prices start at
$6500 and horses under saddle start at
$15,000. Please click the tabs on the left for
the type of horse you desire or contact us for
further information.
