About NOVA Horse
An independent matchmaking agency for dressage riders and trainers around the world — built on independence, transparency and horse welfare.
NOVA Horse is a Belgium-based matchmaking agency for dressage riders and trainers around the world. We sit at the centre of Europe’s best horse-producing regions — Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and France — and we use that access on one side only: yours.
We started NOVA because buying a horse in Europe is still, too often, a matter of trusting the right stranger. We wanted to build the opposite of that: a service that earns trust by being independent, by saying the uncomfortable thing, and by putting the horse’s welfare on the same footing as the sale.
Three things we won't compromise.
Independence
We don't keep a barn of horses we need to sell. We start from you, search broadly, and recommend only what fits — even when that means telling you to wait.
Transparency
Our fee is agreed in advance and visible. Every vet report, show record and contract is shared openly. No quiet markups, no surprises.
Welfare
A sale only works if it works for the horse too. We won't place a horse where it isn't set up to thrive.
Meet Antoine
Our opinions come from the saddle, not just a video. Antoine rides and assesses the horses we put forward.
