Testimonials
What my clients say
Selling a horse can be one of the most anxiety producing, nail biting, painful experiences. Having Sharon act as agent, however, was quite the opposite.
ANDREA WAXLER
As a life time horse person I have been through the buying and selling of horses several times, I will confess to finding the process to be stressful/complicated/and a nerve wracking experience. That was before I met Sharon McCusker.
