Virginia Sport Horses (VSH) specializes in selecting and training sport horses. We offer the widest selection of sport horse prospects, at the most reasonable prices, available on the East Coast.
We breed, raise, personally select and professionally train our horses. Our horses are safe, sane, and sound. Our horses range from 1-3 in temperament, have no vices, medical problems or training issues. They are the horses of choice for the Virginia and NC Trainers Challenges since it's inception in 2006 due to their gentle and accepting nature. Our horses and business has been featured in such publications as Practical Horseman, Hunter and Sport Horse and Covertside.
Our Philosophy
Since most of today's equestrians are amateur riders, VSH has tried to take some of the guess work out of selecting your next equine partner. Our horses are bred and selected for good conformation and good minds. They're athletic, easygoing and have a lot of personality.
Our philosophy is simple, we strive to bring you a cross section of sane, easily trainable draft crosses at a sensible price. Our prices are quite reasonable, and are based on the training each horse has received.
We are known for our "Signature Crosses". These American Warmblood Eligible crossbreds compare favorably to Sport Horse Quality European Warmbloods and many of our broodmares are Hanoverian, Holsteiner, Dutch Warmblood and Selle Francais.
These are highly trainable, well coupled, healthy, athletic and durable horses well suited to jumping, dressage and eventing. They make excellent choices for todays Fox Hunter who also wants to work at dressage, event, or show on the off season..
VSH also breeds and maintains a wide selection of both traditional Bay with Chrome and Black with Chrome as well as Black and White Tobiano Shire and Cyldesdale Sporthorses. We also import a select few TB/Percherons as well as other draftcrosses popular with fox hunters.
We ride and hunt our own horses. Over the years we have matched over a thousand riders with their horses. We have worked hard to build our reputation and our horses speak for themselves.
