Exceptional horses. Expertly matched. Personally supported
At Prime Equine Acquisitions, we understand that finding the right dressage horse goes far beyond talent—it’s about compatibility, timing, and access.
Founded by European Championship medallist Hermione Tottman and international dressage coach Niki Tottman, our service was created to offer ambitious riders a more personal, guided, and strategic approach to finding their next dressage partner.
What started as a shared vision between rider and coach has naturally grown into a respected service, supporting riders in their search for exceptional horses across Europe and beyond.
Our Approach
We act as an elite matchmaking and advisory service, supporting riders through every step of the journey. Whether you're an ambitious amateur, seasoned competitor, or looking to invest in your future star, we're here to ensure a seamless and successful experience:
-
Hand-selecting elite prospects through our global, private network
-
Arranging efficient trials, vettings, and negotiations
-
Offering tailored guidance from initial inquiry through to post-sale follow-up
Many of the horses we present are privately listed or off-market, meaning they are rarely advertised publicly and often sold through personal introductions. This level of access ensures you’re matched with a horse that truly aligns with your goals, values, and riding ambitions.
Why Choose Prime Equine Acquisitions?
What sets us apart is the unique blend of expertise on our team. With both an international rider and an international coach involved in every stage, you benefit from a dual perspective—balancing performance potential with long-term development and compatibility.
This is not just a transaction—it’s a tailored, professional partnership designed to make your horse search seamless and successful.
Your Next Horse, Personally Sourced
We specialise in finding exceptional dressage horses through trusted connections across Europe and beyond. Each horse we present is carefully vetted, not just for talent and trainability, but for how well they’ll fit into your programme and future ambitions.
Because when it comes to buying your next horse:
quality and compatibility should never be compromised.
Hermione Tottman, International Dressage Rider, from Prime Equine Acquisitions said:
“We wanted to launch this service following our first-hand experiences of the international dressage circuit. Having been through the complex journey of finding my next dressage partner to help me achieve my competition goals, I now feel passionate about supporting riders in finding their next top ride.
“I believe our service offers unique insight into the private domain of top level horse sales. The majority of high quality horses and ponies are now being sold privately, and not advertised on the open market. Our clients have the benefit of being able to view these horses through our contacts”.
Niki Tottman, International Level Coach and BD Youth Assessor and Judge, from Prime equine Acquisitions said:
“We know that the process of finding and trialing a new, high-quality horse can be a daunting experience! That’s why we wanted to develop a service which is not only hassle-free but also offers expert guidance at every milestone. We can lead you through the sessions, and help you to develop a feeling of the potential partnership you may have. After discussing the riders aspirations with them, I am able to use my intrinsic eye to help choose the best match for their long-term goals and to spot any potential red flags.
“The support doesn’t end once the horse is safely at its new home. We go the extra mile by designing an individualised training package for each of our clients. This ensures the new combination starts off on the right foot – we want everyone who completes this journey with us to maintain confidence once they are home and ultimately develop their partnership successfully”.
