Avonmill Equestrian, well what can I say... in 2014 we were new in the 'BS World'! From the minute we met Joanne at SHPI 2014 she has always been extremely helpful and guided us around all the different rules etc within BS! (Which can be very daunting starting out).
In 2015 Joanne helped source our 148 JJ Lucky Star from Ireland, who we could not be happier with, his name truly reflects his abilities, and he has recently qualified for the Royal International Horse Show in 2017 by jumping treble clear and coming 2nd in the Winter JC!
Then in 2016 again Joanne sourced our 5yo Maylem Lilly B , a Ramiro Z x Connemara pony all the way from Dublin. With the faith we have in Joanne we had Lilly over without even trying her! I can honestly say that Lilly is a dream too!
Joanne carefully watched my daughters riding style and capabilities from 2014 and was very honest with us at all times, hence the reason she was able to source the 2 ponies of our dreams!
Joanne continues to keep in contact always asking and finding out how the ponies are and what they are doing out competing etc.. she is ALWAYS on the other end of the phone or messenger!!
We have also been full time liveries, Jane, Joanne and James cannot be more helpful, anything we requested - the job got done!
We cannot thank Avonmill enough

Thank you for schooling and then selling Poker and for finding him such a lovely home.

Poker is being such a good boy, hope this is him forever! As you can see se went round the fields today, 250 acres with not a fence and he took deer jumping out, scarecrows, bangers and geese all in his stride! Very pleased! Love him!

What a start to the season, first of all our 148 JJ Lucky Star qualified for Hickstead at Arena UK coming in 2nd place! Our other 148 Maylim Lilly B who is only 5 won her first Newcomers out of 50 at Arena UK! Lilly has also just qualified for the Royal Highland Show today! A big thank you to Joanne at Avonmill for helping us choose these amazing ponies, couldn't have asked for anything better!

I made a heart breaking decision to sell my lovely boy due to personal circumstances. I heard of Avonmill and they could not have been better. They dealt with all the viewings and advertising which was great as I found it all to upsetting! They listened to the exact type of home I wanted Alfie to go to and found his perfect match. And of course looked after him impeccably while he was with them, letting me visit when I wanted to and keeping him fit for his next venture. Thanks so so much guys. You made a very painful experience much easier for me!!!

At 41 weeks pregnant you need to keep busy so I bought Alfie! He happy and settled in the field already. Looking forward to the summer!
Thank you Abby, Joanne and Jane for everything.

After a few friends purchasing horses from Avonmill & glowing reports, I made contact regarding the possible sale of my gorgeous boy Gucci after having a baby and no longer the time he deserved. From the off Joanne was great to deal with; knowledge & helpful which made the hard decision to sell easier. Joanne took responsibility for advertising & dealing with potential purchasers leaving me with peace of mind - as it turns out before I had dropped him off, someone was already lined up to view him & bought him all within the first few days. A lovely new mummy to spoil him! Joanne is professional to deal with & kept me up to date at all times - confirming I made the right decision to send him to Avonmill to sell. Thank you.

Many thanks to Joanne and Jane for their brilliant service in selling my mare Q! I had every trust in them to take care of her and I was so impressed with how well Jane had her going, being placed at almost every show she went to with some firsts and seconds I highly recommend your service
and without doubt I would use again ! Thanks very much for everything xxx

A big thank you to Jo and the Avonmill team for finding a super home for my lovely horse. Nothing has been too much trouble and they settled her in kindly and smoothly. Always kept up to date with photos and videos and the hand over to new owner was done really well. Thank you.

Hi Joanne, great to pop up to see your horse today. I wondered if you might just pass on that despite him maybe not being the boy for me, Jane made today one of the most pleasant, relaxed and enjoyable times I've ever spent trying a horse. She's friendly, knowledgeable and kind and I had a thoroughly lovely afternoon. Thank you again! x

Just a few words from me to say thank you for finding the right buyer for Arnie and for making the whole process so much easier for me.
You provide an excellent schooling and sales livery service and I would highly recommend you to anyone.
