Aliwood Equestrian

On your side, and only yours.

In the horse world, the person advising a buyer is often paid by the seller. Fees are rarely disclosed and interests are rarely clear. Aliwood was built the other way round.

We are paid only by our clients, through a flat fee agreed in writing before we begin. We never take a commission on any horse, sale or service, so our only interest is the right decision for you.

Independent vets. Disclosed interests. No hidden fees.

Every purchase subject to a pre-purchase veterinary examination by an independent vet of your choosing.

Our own fee is flat and agreed in advance. We accept nothing from sellers, agents, auction houses or providers.
