From the selection to the purchase
- we are at your side.
For riders with high standards:
Icelandic horses that offer more.
At The HorseSeller you will meet people who live their profession with heart and ambition.
We select our horses personally in Iceland – not by quantity, but by type, reliability and quality. In Germany, they receive further training from experienced horse management experts, are tested in everyday life – and are only awarded our SAFE seal if they pass the test.
Because for us, it’s not about show, but about substance: horses that you like – and that really work in everyday life.
Your horse is not a coincidence - but a targeted decision.

Voices of our Happy Horse Owners
"Thanks to Silke, I was able to fulfil my rider girl dream: jet black, a character of gold with a cuddle factor and beautiful gaits. Harka is an absolute treasure and without Silke and her team I would probably never have found her. I was able to trust Silke without having met Harka live beforehand."
"I bought an Icelandic horse from Silke Köhler by video in August 2021 and am happy about everything. I am now 61 years old and a beginner again. She has an incredible assessment and judgement for horse and rider and I feel 100% in good hands with her."
"After more than a year of unsuccessfully looking for a horse, we got the call: we have just the right horse for you. That very same day we had a look at Bangsi at TheHorseseller, had a test ride a short time later and IMMEDIATELY realised that it was him or no one else. Bangsi always makes me feel safe as a beginner rider and he is super reliable in every situation."

Knowledge database & FAQ
Everything about Icelandic Horses & FAQ
Each of our horses is personally selected in Iceland – not according to pedigree or show training, but according to character, gait and suitability for everyday use. We know the horses, their history and their behaviour in real life – long before you meet them.
SAFE stands for care, everyday life, feedback and experience.
Our horses are tested according to fixed criteria: Behaviour in the field, handling, loading, riding under different riders – including uncertainties. Only when a horse proves itself in real situations does it receive the SAFE seal.
Yes – our SAFE horses are made especially for you.
You don’t have to be a perfect rider. But you should know what you need – and be open to being accompanied. Many of our customers have had similar experiences – and now have a horse that gives them confidence.
You get in touch – we listen. Then we talk about suitable horses, introduce you to your favourites in the video & profile and invite you to visit us.
During the test ride, you have time to ask questions and familiarise yourself with the horse – and there is no obligation to make a decision. If you wish, the horse will stay with us for a few weeks after the purchase – for training, lessons and safety.
Then you can turn back.
Our return option gives you – depending on the care model – up to 100% refund. No drama, no pressure. Because trust only begins after the purchase – not before.
You decide how intensively you want to be supported: you can leave your horse with us from four weeks to three months. During this time, we work with your horse, teach you, adjust the equipment – and build a real connection. Step by step. At your own pace.
If you are prepared to be accompanied – yes.
Many of our customers have not travelled the traditional riding school route. They have life experience, a keen instinct – and the desire for a horse that suits them. We will help you to realise this wish.
You can compare. We will present you with a preselection of horses that could suit you – with videos, information and an honest assessment. You can see and ride several horses during your visit. And you don’t get ‘sales favourites’, but real alternatives.
Then we say: Thank you for your honesty.
We don’t want you to sign anything just because you’re there. We will continue to support you – with honest feedback, new ideas and the opportunity to take another look in peace.
Yes – if you wish, we can help you choose the right saddle, riding accessories or transport organisation. In the after-sales phase, you have enough time to choose everything in peace – not in the stress between buying and changing stables.
Yes. We also offer training & correction for external horses – using the same system we use to train our own SAFE horses.
We help you to reconnect – with time, structure and feeling.
You don’t need to know everything – you just need to be prepared to ask questions. In a HorseTalk or counselling session, we look together at where you stand – without any pressure, but with an honest assessment.
