I just
wanted to send an email saying how happy I am with Keough and what
we have been up to. We got Reserve Champion for Junior
Equitation at the Bucks County Horse Park for year-end awards, and
we got 4th in dressage and 6th overall at the Fall Bucks County
Horse Park event at Novice. We have also been doing hunter
paces and local jumper shows. I am having a GREAT time with
him!

Fair, honest, not
pressured, accommodating, and professional. You welcomed Katie
to your barn for 4 continuous days, even before purchase, to take
lessons on Alden and to learn the basics of eventing. We would
definitely recommend you.

Very positive experience; Courtney made
looking at many horses a pleasure. This was the first time
that we had used a service like yours to find a horse. You
made it so easy and fun.

Our trainer, my daughter,
and I visited C Square Farm three times while shopping for a horse
for my daughter. Each time we visited, Courtney showed us four or
five horses. What was most impressive was the amount of time she
took with us--she obviously wanted to be sure that we thoroughly
considered each horse, especially the ones we were interested in.
In all three visits, we were with her a minimum of four hours. She
or one of her staff rode each horse to show us at first, and then my
daughter, daughter's friend (who was also shopping), and in some
cases our trainer would ride. We never felt rushed.
Also commendable was Courtney's communication with our trainer
before we arrived--it was clear that she narrowed down the selection
to the horses that were appropriate for my daughter's ability level
and did not waste time by showing us horses that would not have
suited us.
In the horse world, which
as you know is often different from the business world, there are
few people as reliably prepared and on time as Courtney. We were
never kept waiting. Also, the paperwork was fast and convenient.
We made offers on two horses, and Courtney had a contract ready in 5
minutes each time. Further kudos to her for accepting our decision,
following a vet check which revealed a potential problem, to decline
the first horse we offered to purchase. She was understanding and
professional. After the first two visits to C Square, Courtney knew
my daughter well enough to say to our trainer, as she led a horse
out of the barn, "This is the horse you'll be going home with."
Sure enough, he was--and he has worked out beautifully.
I said to our trainer that we should just plan on working with
Courtney until we found the right horse, even though C Square is
nearly a three hour drive from our home--Courtney just made the
process so much easier than any other barn we'd visited. Since I
work part-time, I really appreciated the efficiency of being able to
visit and know we would have a good group of horses to see, all in
one location.
I would recommend you wholeheartedly to everyone I know--buyers and
sellers! If I ever win the lottery, I'll be coming back to you
for two or three more horses.
Courtney, we are so very fortunate to have connected with you. I'm
going to buy all of my horses from you--a thousand thanks!

We were impressed by
the professionalism, which was obvious in the well-kept barn and
happy horses. You gave us lots of confidence by taking so much
time with us. Nice website.

My experiences at C Square Farm were positive,
professional, and productive. Courtney was prepared and
organized which made our trip very worthwhile. Courtney and
her staff were very patient and accommodating with our questions and
requests for additional information.
We toured at least 3 or 4 well-known farms in
our horse search and dealt with the same number of horse agents.
Courtney and her staff / horses performed far above the others in
all aspects. I would absolutely recommend you! Courtney
was a delight to work with!

The entire transaction was
handled efficiently and professionally. It has been a pleasure
dealing with you. I would absolutely recommend you!

I had a great experience working with Courtney.
We made the trip up from California, and she made sure that our time was
well spent by selecting a group of horses that met our exact criteria.
Courtney stayed positive and always fought for my
interests. Even when we had to do repeat vet checks, she kept my best
interests at heart and always gave her honest and professional opinion.
I could not be happier with Enzo, He was well worth the wait!
Thank you!

I think you guys were great! Very
professional, prompt in returning calls, arranging showings, and in
payment. It was a pleasure working with you. I liked the
sales barn atmosphere - while it was professional, it was also homey
- everything spic & span with the horses happy and well taken care
of.
I really hope to have the chance to work with
you again in the future. It has been my experience that it can
be hard to have a positive experience buying and selling horses, but
you gave both Audrey and me that opportunity. Thanks for
everything Courtney!

All
my experiences were very positive and helpful. The horse we
purchased is exactly as he was represented; he and my student are
really becoming a team.

Thank you
so much for everything you did to make the purchase of Cassie go
smoothly. You are an excellent example of how a professional
in your field should run and conduct business! Hopefully we
will do business again; I've already recommended you to others.

My experience was a good one; the horses were
well presented and represented. No time was wasted; it was
friendly and efficient..
Shelly |

I just
wanted to say thank you so much for helping me in my decision and
giving me mini lessons. Tobey is perfect, there is not a sweeter,
more perfect horse anywhere! We are now competing at training level,
and I recently came in 2nd place at my second training on him at the
Middle Tennessee Horse Trials. Once again, thanks for the wonderful
horse and the wonderful experience!
Emma

I have recommended you to several people and
told them not to even bother looking for a horse in New England,
when they should go through you. Courtney, hope to see you
again soon and thanks for everything.

I was so impressed with your expertise.
The fact that we flew down there and were completely booked for two
days looking at various horses of all levels and types was extremely
impressive to me.
Bonnie

You were professional, honest, and returned
phone calls.
Barbara |

Excellent. Very personal care -- you went above and beyond
taking us on a trail-ride!
Emma |

Courtney
was extremely courteous, honest, and allowed us to try horses out how
we wanted. There was no pressure and she did not get offended when we
disliked certain horses. In my two experiences, everything was
done well to accommodate our tight schedules and our discriminating
preferences with regard to what we were looking for.
I
purchased two horses last year from Courtney and would highly
recommend her for any equine sales or purchases. I will return
in the future to purchase or sell horses.

Courtney, you did a wonderful job of helping me
find the right match, the right temperament, the right horse. My
partnership with Davey grows each day and I am so appreciative of his
demeanor. He truly wants to please and do a good job. You
were completely accurate in your assessment stating "he's a real
trier."
Joining you in Florida to look at horses was
time and money well-spent. I was impressed with your ability
to stay non-biased while showing horses to me that were not your
own. Your conduct was always professional; it was noted and
appreciated.
I must also thank you for allowing me to ride
your horses even when you knew I was not interested in purchasing
them. Riding Lord Robert was the best thing that happened
to me (besides buying Davey) while in Florida. That opportunity
truly helped me regain my confidence for riding cross country and
reminded me what I was looking for in an event horse. Thank
you!!
Now that we have done business with selling
and buying a horse, I can say I have no reservations recommending your
services to anyone desiring to do the same.
I wish you continued success and I hope to see
you at a horse trial soon!

Our visit provided us with
a quick (48-hours) horse shopping experience that was efficient, both
in terms of time and money. We had expected to spend up to six months
searching for the “perfect” horse. With Courtney’s advanced leg work
we were fortunate to see over 12 suitable horses during our two day
visit that saved us legwork and time. Courtney was able to provide us
with the training experience and competitive experience of each horse.
All of the horses that Courtney selected were well suited for
Sommerville in terms of her riding ability and physical build. We
really had a great time during our visit and cannot think of anything
that would need improvement. Courtney’s connections with reputable
barns with breeds appropriate for 3-Day eventing proved her to be a
good ally.

Riley was perfect today - my sister Cappy
hunted him and we had a super a.m. - ran one fox for over an hour, in
the Grand National County so there was quite a bit to jump, lots of
rolling, galloping grass land plus trappy woods - he hunted happily in
the front, back & middle, trotting or cantered his fences (whatever
she asked for), stood, waited and was much admired.

Courtney is very relaxed
and easygoing, but also very professional. She returns messages
promptly, and explains, clearly and patiently, what is happening
throughout the entire process. I felt that I was in good hands
with Courtney and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell
a horse.

You sold Jim Jam to me in December and I
wanted to let you know how he is doing...This last weekend we competed
in our first event together at Mayfest HT in Lexington, KY, and we
received 5th place overall at open novice.
He is so incredibly awesome on cross country.
He knows his job and is very good at it. His dressage has come a long
way and he is doing great! Throughout the jumping courses he seemed to
be telling me that it was too easy for him! His personality is just
wonderful and I don't think that Sonja could have helped us to find a
better horse! Thank you so much... I am in love with Irish horses and
know what I want my next one to be!

You were very helpful in making sure the horse
was a good fit for my needs and ability level. You were honest
regarding each horses strengths and weakness. Your
professionalism and integrity were greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the information about Last Hurrah, formerly called Max.
I look forward to chasing foxes on him for sufficient years that my
granddaughter, age 4, will be joining her parents and me in the hunt
field. By that time Hurrah and I will qualify for a century
class.

It was a good experience - Courtney took us on a
trail ride She rode the horse for my daughter - she let my daughter
jump him, etc. I have recommended you to two people so far who
are looking for specific kinds of horses. I know you will help
them if you possibly can.

Fair, honest, and straight forward. Good web site for
information; good facilities to ride horses; horses were well
prepared. Raven is happy and adjusted to his new home. We
have been hound walking, and he is great.

It
was a pleasure working with you. [We] looked for horses for my
daughter at other places [and] didn't first push your own.
Splash has settled down and is a neat horse. We are looking forward to
many great years ahead.
