Elite British Showjumpers, Delivered Across Asia
UK-produced showjumping prospects, owned and developed directly by Harriet Smith — with import protocols, quarantine and charter air freight to Asia handled for you.
Buying From the Other Side of the World, Without the Worry
Buying a horse from Europe when you are based in Asia can feel daunting. Import protocols, quarantine, air freight, health certification — and all of it happening thousands of miles from your yard, in a different time zone.
We understand that hesitation, because we hear it from buyers in China, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and beyond. The truth is that the complexity is real, but it is ours to handle, not yours.
Every horse we offer is one we have owned, ridden, and produced ourselves. There are no brokers inflating the price, no anonymous dealers, and no surprises on arrival.
Our role is to make buying an elite British showjumper feel as straightforward for a buyer in Shanghai or Singapore as it would for one an hour down the road — honest representation, and the entire export managed end to end.
Owner & Producer
Meet Harriet Smith
Harriet Smith is the founder of Horses Smith, a private collection of carefully selected showjumping horses and future breeding prospects, chosen with a clear focus on quality, pedigree, performance, and market appeal.
She is not a broker, and Horses Smith is not a business built on volume. Each horse is sourced with intent, produced with care, and represented with complete honesty. The collection reflects Harriet's eye for athleticism, presence, blood, and the kind of natural quality that cannot be manufactured.
Based in Kent, England, Harriet has built Horses Smith around a simple belief: exceptional horses deserve exceptional representation. Her experience across breeding, young horse production, and performance gives her a deep understanding of what creates not only a talented horse, but one with true presence, value, and future.
For clients across Asia, that means confidence in both the horse and the name behind it — and an export process handled with the same care as the horse itself, however far it travels.
Because at Horses Smith, every horse is personally chosen, deeply understood, and offered with intention.
