About NOVA Horse
A matchmaking agency for dressage riders and trainers around the world, built on candour, professionalism and horse welfare.
NOVA Horse is a matchmaking agency based in Belgium that connects dressage riders and trainers from around the world. We are located in the center of Europe’s main horse-producing regions: Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and France. Before we recommend any horse, our team rides and evaluates it ourselves.
We started NOVA because buying a horse in Europe often means trusting someone you barely know. Our goal was to offer something different: a service that earns trust by being honest, putting every agreement in writing, and caring as much about the horse’s well-being as the sale itself.
Three things we won't compromise.
Candour
Our advice doesn't bend to close a sale. We've told clients to wait, to walk away from a beautiful horse, and to buy the less expensive one. The match is the business, and a bad match costs everyone more than a lost fee.
Professionalism
From the first brief to the flight home, every step is handled properly and agreed in writing: search, screening, vetting, contract, transport.
Welfare
A match has two halves. We only place a horse where it can flourish, and we say so when a home isn't right.

Our opinions come from the saddle, not just a video. Antoine rides and assesses the horses we put forward.
