We utilized Walnut Farm’s brokering services to find a suitable horse for our 15 year old daughter. We are pleased to provide a letter of recommendation for Clare Walker, owner of Walnut Farm. Clare is a knowledgeable and trustworthy equine professional who will successfully guide you through her detailed process of rider assessment, locating, evaluating and transporting an appropriate prospect to achieve your riding goals.
Clare collaborates with you in a thoughtful, team-oriented way to develop a plan from start to finish and future development. It seems more and more service providers do not listen to the customer and only serve themselves. Clare defies this model. She listens and is attentive to your inputs. She is ever mindful of budget constraints and efficient with your time. Clare is an excellent communicator and no detail escapes her. She takes the time to explain every step of the process and answer every question so there are no surprises along the way.
Within the industry Clare has the competence, credibility, and an extensive network of contacts to locate a suitable horse that will match your abilities, temperament, and purpose. Because of Clare’s accomplishments and proficiency as a riding instructor and competitor, she was able to conduct a review of our daughter’s personality, riding abilities, and future goals. She developed profiles of 5 excellent horses that we were able to ride and assess in a very condensed out-of-state travel window. Only the rider’s preference distinguished the final choice among the 5 prospects, all of them were appropriate. She remains engaged after the sale and encourages consultation in the development and status of our horse.
Purchasing a horse is a significant investment of resources with potential for high stress and risk. Clare’s professionalism, competence, attention to detail, and communication skills ensures that your risk is significantly reduced and even a pleasurable experience. Her services are exceptional and exceeded our expectations. We enthusiastically recommend Clare Walker to help you find your future prospect horse and fully intend to seek her services again in the future. Please contact us directly to discuss further.
Clare was amazing at helping us find our horse. This was our first horse purchase ever so needless to say we needed someone who was knowledgeable, honest, and straightforward with us. Clare got tons of information from us so she could get to know my rider daughter and know what she really needed. She was relatable, optimistic, and supportive. Once she thought she may have found the best horse for us, she was there in person to evaluate the horse and once we decided to make the purchase, she explained to us the entire process in detail and was reachable and very accessible the entire way until we finalized the purchase. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help us through this exciting process. She was just fantastic. We highly recommend her for anyone who wants to find and buy a horse.
Clare has this innate ability to match horse and riders based on a number of key factors. As you know, one horse is one equestrian’s dream come true and for another it can be not just a bad match, but potentially dangerous. That is where this ability can make such a huge impact on the outcome for the horse and rider. I have seen her match competition horses as well as pleasure mounts carefully taking into consideration both temperament, soundness and ability (horse and human).
Clare found me the perfect horse when even I didn’t know what I actually needed. Bijou is the perfect mix of sensible, sound and just enough personality for me to keep things interesting. He’s fancy enough and has the ability to do just about anything I can ask of him. Most importantly, I am riding, having fun and enjoying my horse to the utmost. This would not have been possible without her guidance and expertise and for that I am eternally grateful!
