Guiding Your Horse Purchase with Expertise
When I decided to embark on a new adventure with a young horse, I started talking to Tatjana, a stable colleague and friend. Having had a long-standing interest in Iberian horses, I saw her as the right person to consult, and I was not disappointed. Tatjana provided me with comprehensive insights into breeds, bloodlines, personalities, and unique traits of these horses, making the decision to choose a Puro Sangue Lusitano (PSL) very easy for me.
At first, I began the usual route of researching on the internet, trying to find horses for sale on my own. However, feeling overwhelmed by the plethora of offerings and the rather untrustworthy horse sellers, I turned to Tatjana for advice.’After a few conversations, Tatjana quickly grasped what I could envision. As a result, she recommended Yeguada la Perla stud farm, as she found its philosophy and the range of Lusitanos offered there to be a good fit for me. When I visited the stud farm's website, I was amazed! It was exactly the kind of stable and philosophy I had desired but hadn't found through conventional internet searches.
Tatjana eventually established contact with the breeder Leonie Bühlmann and organized an initial selection of horses for sale. Since I wanted direct contact with the horses to feel which one was the right fit for me, we quickly discussed visiting the horses in person. Although pandemic-related issues delayed this plan, everything happens for a reason. As a result, in May 2021, we flew together to Spain and visited the stud farm in the north of Madrid. I was immediately impressed by Leonie and her entire team
Tatjana accompanied me during all horse viewings in the paddocks and stables. We analyzed and discussed the horses, both those already under saddle and the green young ones, to decide who would make it to the shortlist. While I was still struggling with the pedigrees and names of the breeding stallions and mares, Tatjana had a complete overview of all the stud farm's bloodlines within a few hours. This greatly assisted in evaluating the young horses. Tatjana openly shared her opinions about the horses, playing a significant role in helping me make my decision.
Meeting a horse is never a coincidence.
It's either ,
an mission, an opportunity, or true love for you.
Quite often, all three points align when
encountering a horse. And that, my friend, is a genuine gift!

Towards the end of the first day, when I had the opportunity to inspect the 2-year-old colts in the paddock, I experienced the proverbial 'love at first sight' with a very special horse for me. There was an instant connection between me and the young colt – Perlito la Perla. When I asked Tatjana for her honest opinion on whether it would be a suitable match from an 'objective' perspective, she provided professional guidance that significantly eased the horse-buying process for me. I am grateful and glad that I relied on Tatjana's expertise in horse purchasing rather than buying a horse blindly from the internet or an untrustworthy stud farm. It was undoubtedly the right decision for me, and I would seek her expertise again for any future horse purchase.’A heartfelt thank you, Tatjana, for playing a pivotal role in helping me find my dream horse!
