Equestrian Imports

CB Sporthorses specializes in the import of quality sporthorses from Germany. Horses are selected based on their temperament and rideability. Key blood lines imported include Hanoverian, Holsteiner, Oldenburg, Westphalian and Trakehner. All imported horses undergo a thorough vet check before leaving Germany.

We handle all aspects of your horse's care and training, as well as details of sales. We communicate regularly with you, the horse owner, regarding your horse's care, training, and sale status. We are selective in terms of which horses we take; only those horses we feel we can sell confidently will be accepted. Our success rate is 95%. Turn around time runs from 30 days to 6 months.

Lessons

CBSporthorses keeps the goal in mind that the student would develop autonomy. We want our students to develop into critically thinking riders. Our goal is to create “horsepeople” who can make tactical training judgments and learn to be independent. For those students who own their own horses, we strive to provide them with the tools to help them and their mounts improve.

For beginners and children we offer lessons on safe and calm horses of various sizes. For a smooth start in the saddle you will be on the longe line until you feel balanced and comfortble so that you can pick up the reins. Carin is eager to teach you in her calm and patient way and would be happy to support you while you are taking your first speps in a new and fun sport.

Carin welcomes riders from various backgrounds and riding disciplines. She has an outgoing personality and incorporates a good sense of humor into her lessons. She offers private lessons to competing dressage riders as well as to pleasure riders seeking to improve their horses and their riding through a greater understanding of dressage techniques. There are also many students taking advantage of the unique concept of using quality sales horses in lessons until sold. Dressage horses up to FEI levels are made available to select students. Carin is known for her tireless devotion to her students and her willingness to explain and show everything until the student experiences success.
