"Ardeo changed the horse buying process for me. For the first time I fully trusted that a seller actually wanted to find me the perfect match, and not just make a sale. Neil and Mel have a wealth of experience, and a brilliant eye. Every time I've visited, I have only ever sat on quality, kind horses. Ardeo are always top of my list when looking for a new horse, or when anyone wants recommendations. Horse buying doesn’t have to be scary!"

I will preface this by saying - I never thought I would buy a horse off of a video. I saw a horse listed and sent Neil a note explaining what I was looking for and describing my riding. I sent him a few short clips of me riding and he spoke with my trainer. He sent me the perfect horse - Ned.

Jacqueline Edith Robinson
Can’t recommend Neil and Mel highly enough, they took all the stress out of horse shopping. Ardeo found me my horse of a lifetime - she is exactly what I was looking for. Neil took the time to listen to what I wanted and matched us perfectly.

Teresa Stanisci
Could not be happier with Ardeo. Neil and Mel work so hard to make the perfect match for you. Unlike most - they strive to find a horse that can be that long term partner. They would rather not sell you a horse than sell you one that iis not a GREAT match.

Neil and Mel helped me find my new horse, Dillon. I'm an amateur so I was pretty unfamiliar with the whole import process, but they made it incredibly smooth as they took care of everything from vetting to transport. Dillon was purchased entirely off of video, and upon arrival, Dillon was exactly what they said he was and so much more! Thank you for helping me find a real-life unicorn.

Grace Sandys
Mel’s coaching transformed my partnership with my horse and progressed my technical ability. She taught me to be aware of weight influence through seat and coordination. Her system revolutionised cross country, making me safer and more daring. Ardeo’s care, facilities, and Mel and Neil’s friendliness make everything easier.

Raquel Kanter
Buying a horse to suit your needs is difficult. Buying one from another country based solely on videos is extremely difficult. Making this decision with the help of Neil and Mel was unbelievable. They found us exactly what we wanted and made the entire transfer to the US so simple. We cannot thank you enough for the beautiful boy.

I highly recommend Ardeo Sport Horses! Mel and Neil are delightful, understand the horse business, and match the right horse with any rider. Their knowledge, dedication, and love are applaudable. I’d absolutely buy from them any day and encourage others too - their horses’ quality and temperaments blew me away.

I highly recommend Neil and Mel Wrynn of Ardeo Sport Horses. As a professional US event rider, I trusted them to find my next horse. Neil searched tirelessly, sent videos and photos, and handled logistics. My horse arrived exactly as described, and their clear, open communication made the process seamless.
