I purchased London Fever from Asia in September 2018. Lilly was intended to be my first “show horse” with the lofty goal of someday competing at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto. Right away Lilly stole my heart from the moment I sat on her. I live in Ontario, while Lilly was located in British Columbia at the time. Asia and her family helped to make the process of me meeting, vetting, purchasing, and shipping Lilly from British Columbia to Southern Ontario absolutely seamless with stellar communication and genuine care. The support I continue to have from Asia and the rest of the Brown family is second to none and appreciated more than I can put to words. Lilly is truly my dream horse, and I am so lucky to have such a goofy, forgiving, fun, beautiful and talented mare. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for us, as she continues to teach me things every single day. Thank you Asia! Lilly sends her love from Ontario!

We purchased Jefferson from Asia and imported him to Canada in May 2019. He arrived and went straight into our summer shows. His first show he was winning the 5 year old division, with our daughter riding. After which he continued on winning the 5 year old Jump Alberta Championship. He also competed in a couple of Hunter Derbies, having never seen a hunter course or jump before. He went in like a pro, claiming 2nd & 5th placings…amongst a tough “veteran” field.
Thank you Asia, not only is Jefferson as stunning as you claimed, he is also brave, scopey, & cheeky! As a future show jumping star should be. We look forward to doing more business with you in the future.

I connected with Asia last fall when I started my search for a young prospect. Knowing that Asia rode in North America I did trust her opinion and thoughts about the young horses she was trying for me. I ended up buying a 4 years old gelding named Maxwell. He came over with under 10 rides total and was from the start fantastic, level headed and sweet as can be. He has been developing into a great young horse and am looking forward to his first show season in 2022. I am very thankful for all Asia’s help through out my search and highly recommend her to any North American riders looking for a new horse overseas.

“I contacted Asia in the early part of 2020 as we were looking for a vaulting prospect for my daughter. I gave her my requirements for what qualities the horse needed to possess and right away Asia mentioned that she had a jumper in mind, Davinci. We were very interested in him but unfortunately COVID shut our world down at about the same time which made things a lot more challenging as we had planned on travelling to Europe to test out some prospects. Asia went above and beyond to ensure that Davinci had the temperament and talent for our sport without us being able to travel. She even made a “Get To Know Davinci” video!!! Our Davinci arrived the beginning of September and we couldn’t be happier with him. He is sweet, sound, trainable and has fit in very well with our program. Our experience with Asia has been very positive and she continues to follow up with us on Davinci which really shows her professionalism and compassion for the horses she is teaming up with people.”

We recently purchased a horse from The Netherlands, with the help of Asia from Show Pony Trading. Asia was very helpful, detailed and patient throughout our horse shopping journey. She is clear and reliable with communications and knowledgeable about the entire process of purchasing, vetting and importing. She listened to our requirements and found the perfect horse for my student, exceeding all our expectations. Asia is a skilled, educated horsewoman with a natural intuition to match horses and riders.  Combining these skills and intuition with her trustworthy, kind nature, Asia is an invaluable source for anyone looking to find their next sport horse. Our experience couldn’t have been better and we look forward to the next opportunity to work with Asia.

I remember meeting Parana for the first time as a beautiful 7 year old athlete and thinking I could only
dream of owning a horse like him. After Asia returned from university I saw her and Parana doing the 1.30m class at RMSJ. I said to a mutual friend he should be doing the 1.10m-1.20m with me, and 3 weeks later, I purchased him and have owned him for 5 years now. He is an absolute school master with all that Asia had done with him. Parana jumps me up to the 1.15m-1.20m, making me brave and competitive, working on my equitation, doing fancy dressage movements and being my best barn buddy. He is the lead horse on the trails and helps young horses be calm outside. He is still sassy, good looking, and patient but lets me know when I have screwed up! We have many ribbons at shows in Alberta and BC. He is well loved by all that know and ride him, teaching them to be great riders. I want to say thanks to Asia, and the Brown family for visiting him at home and for your continued support at shows!

“I first came across Didi when she was shown to me by my trainer in August 2020, I instantly fell in love with her. My parents and I were super worried about importing a horse, as it was our first time. Show Pony Trading did an exceptional job at providing us with the supportive reassurance and care we needed. By October Didi had arrived to our facility safe and sound, and we could not have been happier! I instantly fell in love with this sweet mare and was extremely impressed by her loving demeanour. From the moment I first got on Didi, it was an instant connection. As we continue to get to know each other through our lessons and training program, Dame D’emma continues to impress me to this day. As I’m a younger rider, I was in need of a jumper that could provide me with some confidence to take me onto the bigger fences. Didi is one of the most special horses I’ve met, from her pleasant ground manners, to braveness, to scope, she’s got it all! My goal for us is to be showing at a 1.30m in the near future and this horse was everything we could ask for. Show Pony Trading has made our first time importing an extremely positive, stress free, experience.”

We began speaking with Asia in the fall of 2020. She was very honest, respectful, kind, and helped us find our wonderful horse TME Bugatti.  I was looking for a brave horse that could take myself, at fifteen, up in the jumpers. We ended up buying Imago, who has been absolutely fantastic, and brought me such great success. Imago continues to amaze us, and by far has been one of my favourites. He jumps his heart out for me, and has taken me to various venues in Canada and the United States, and helped me build my confidence as the jumps get larger. Imago is more than I could ever ask for. I am very excited to see where our partnership takes us in the following years ahead. We highly recommend working with Asia (Show Pony Trading) if you’re looking for a highly educated, knowledgeable, and wonderful individual, who can help you find the horse of your dreams!

Purchased as a 6 year old Asia rode and managed Captain up to a 1.50m level before selling him to top rider Samuel Parot. Representing Chile up to a 1.55m level.

“When I connected with Asia I gave her a wish list for a horse that even I knew would be next to impossible to find. She set about right away and found me, several contenders. Asia has an excellent understanding of the most American market so she did not have any issues sending me extra videos of the horses being handled, tacked up, bathed, trailers or jumping Liverpool’s or the open water. She arranged a new vet check with a well-known vet in the Netherlands who spoke perfect English and who communicated instantly and easily with our vet here in Calgary. When my horse arrived he was exactly to a T what Asia has described him to be. She consistently checked in after his arrival to make sure all was well with his travel and his health upon settling into his new home in Canada. Asia even went out of her way to watch our first show on the live stream to update his previous owner and rider. I would highly recommend Asia to anyone looking to find a quality partner in the Netherlands and will 100% be utilizing her services again!”

Asia and I met when I had first started my journey with riding horses. As many know, this comes with an abundance of varying obstacles: nervousness, lack of confidence, hesitation. Asia was with me every step of the way helping me overcome these as well as picking me up when I fell (literally and figuratively). Her confidence, determination, and compassion shines through everything she does and makes her an amazing leader. She is someone that makes you feel secure and helps you make the best decision moving forward for you and your horse. Her help with my horse, known as Stella, got us together as a team, and to an amazing place and has allowed me to do things I never thought I would. I put all of my trust in Asia and recommend her to everyone I know looking for horses or help with riding.

I first met Asia almost 10 years ago and I instantly recognized that she is a gifted equestrian and horse woman, as well as a resourceful business woman. She helped me to run my busy equestrian facility in south-western Ontario and I was privileged to receive training from Asia on one of her beloved show jumpers. She also helped to train my talented and feisty dutch warmblood mare who was imported from the The Netherlands. Having personal experience purchasing horses in both Europe and Wellington, FL I can honestly say that the process would have been easier and more enjoyable with the assistance of an experienced professional such as Asia. I highly recommend her services and know that working with Asia will be an unforgettable experience, as she helps you make your equestrian dreams come true. I’ll be calling her for my next big horse purchase!

We love Goldie because she is very good. She has a good personality, and she is very brave to ride and often sleeps. She is very cute. We are proud of what she did before she was here.

Catoki (Catoki x Adlantus As) had shown successfully to 1.40m at Spruce Meadows. He had upper-level dressage skills in his flat work. He was sold as an equitation horse to California, USA.
