Swiftwater Farm is pleased to offer a selection of quality Holsteiner sport horses for sale. Our horses range from well-bred young prospects to horses in active training, each carefully developed to reach their full potential. Whether you're looking for a future competition partner or a talented youngster to bring along yourself, we can help you find the right match.
We believe in honest, transparent sales practices. Each horse we offer comes with complete information about its pedigree, training level, temperament, and any relevant health history. We encourage buyers to spend time with horses they're considering, and we're happy to arrange trial periods when appropriate.
Our goal is not just to make a sale but to create successful, lasting partnerships between horses and riders. We take the time to understand what you're looking for and will honestly assess whether a particular horse is the right fit for your goals and experience level.
Our young horses offer exciting potential for buyers who want to be involved in their horse's development from an early age. These horses have excellent pedigrees from proven sport horse bloodlines and have been handled daily from birth to ensure good ground manners and confidence.
Weanlings and yearlings are perfect for buyers with the facilities to raise a young horse and the patience to wait for maturity. These youngsters show the movement, conformation, and temperament that predict future success. We provide guidance on appropriate care, feeding, and development milestones.
Two and three-year-olds are beginning their formal training and are starting to show their individual talents. Some may demonstrate particular aptitude for jumping, while others show the movement and presence ideal for dressage. At this age, their personalities are emerging, making it easier to match horse and rider.
For buyers ready to begin or continue their competition careers, we offer horses that have received professional training and are ready for more advanced work. These horses have solid foundations in the basics and are developing the skills needed for upper-level performance.
Our trained horses have experience both in the arena and in varied environments. They've been exposed to different situations, from trail riding to show environments, developing the confidence and reliability that make them trustworthy partners. According to the United States Equestrian Federation, horses with diverse training and exposure often adapt more successfully to the demands of competition.
Each trained horse has been evaluated honestly for its strengths, potential, and best suited discipline. Some are clearly destined for the dressage arena, with exceptional movement and presence. Others show the bravery, athleticism, and quick reflexes that make top jumpers. We'll provide honest assessments to help you choose wisely.

We also provide guidance on transportation arrangements and can recommend reputable shippers for horses traveling long distances. Many of our horses have traveled successfully across the country to their new homes.
We strongly encourage pre-purchase veterinary examinations for all horses, especially those being purchased for competition careers. We're happy to accommodate your veterinarian's schedule and will provide a quiet, well-lit area for thorough examinations.
A comprehensive pre-purchase exam typically includes physical examination, flexion tests, evaluation under saddle, and often radiographs of the legs and feet. This investment provides peace of mind and helps ensure you're making an informed decision. The American Association of Equine Practitioners provides detailed guidelines on what should be included in a thorough examination.
Horse prices vary based on age, training level, pedigree, and individual potential. Young prospects typically start in the mid to upper four figures, while trained horses with competition experience command higher prices reflecting the time and expertise invested in their development.
We're happy to discuss pricing and payment arrangements for specific horses. For qualified buyers, we can provide references and work with you on reasonable payment plans when appropriate.
