Quote from client:
“Both Jesús Garmendia and I knew about the horse because we had seen him compete the previous season and always liked him. Thanks to BRIDL, we found out he was for sale and expressed our interest through the platform. The team at BRIDL contacted us, assisted with the negotiation, and organized a trial at Claudia Catalán’s facilities. The next day, the veterinary check was done, and we finalized the purchase with a 15-day return guarantee, ensuring transparency and security throughout the process. They also handled the transport, and within a week, Callias was at our stable.” –Alejandro Entrecanales
