THE EQUIPAIRE DIFFERENCE
Buying a horse from Europe is about trust, knowledge, and respect for a rich tradition of excellence. At Equiphaire, we care deeply about the horses we represent and the riders we serve. Successful purchases start with expertise and a trusted team guiding you through every step. When you buy a horse from Europe, you’re investing in more than a video—you’re investing in a future, and we make sure that leap of faith is smart and grounded.
Our team of seasoned professionals has decades of hunter-jumper experience, trained alongside top experts, and developed a rare instinct for matching horses not just by talent, but by heart, rideability, and long-term fit. We analyze from multiple perspectives, working closely with riders and trainers to ensure every match suits your goals, lifestyle, and program.
We go beyond surface-level matchmaking. By collaborating directly with trainers and leveraging our global network, we slow down the process to avoid rushed decisions and costly mistakes. Our full profiles include vet reports, professional ride evaluations, breeder insights, and multi-rider feedback—details you won’t get elsewhere. We trust in old-school, hands-on feel and vet-to-vet collaboration to truly know each horse before recommending it.
Because we’ve faced challenges ourselves, we protect your process with transparency, integrity, and experience. Whether your budget is $15,000 or $150,000, we treat every client with the same care and commitment. This isn’t just buying a horse—it’s building a future. We offer a curated, honest experience, with no shortcuts or empty promises. From bloodlines to temperament, every detail matters. Welcome to Equiphaire, where your equestrian dreams are matched with pride, precision, and passion. Let’s find the one who’s meant for you. Let’s find the one who’s meant for you.
WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
"As a young professional with a global perspective and deep industry experience, working with Equiphaire—and Danielle Runions specifically—was transformative. From Levi VDL to Miss Montreal, the quality delivered was exceptional. Danielle’s global reach and expertise made sourcing top investment horses seamless, efficient, and elite."
"LEVI VDL"
Abigail N’goie
"Buying horses is always a risk, even more so when you can’t get your own eyes, hands or legs around what you’re buying. Danielle has helped bridge that gap for us. We have now purchased two!"
"ROMANOV BH" & "WEST JJ"
Gretchen Anderson
“I was introduced to Danielle, and it was as though I was her only client. The horse's she represents are amazing and having purchased one I can tell you that you will get exactly what you wanted.”
"MARGENT Z"
Jamie Sisskind
"I reached out to Equiphaire when my daughter needed to step up into the equitation ring, but we weren’t shopping with a six-figure budget. We were overwhelmed—between finding the right quality, navigating the import process, and simply not knowing where to start.
From the very first conversation, Danielle listened deeply. She didn’t just ask about goals—she studied my daughter’s riding, her position, her feel, and what kind of partner she needed. Within days, she presented a few carefully selected horses, and while the first few weren’t quite right, she didn’t pressure us or move on—she doubled down.
Soon after, she introduced us to Nevan, and it was instant. The quality, the temperament, the match—it all clicked. Danielle managed every detail from pre-purchase to passport, flight, quarantine, and final delivery. All we did was wire payment to her U.S.-based business, and two weeks later, my daughter was riding the horse of her dreams.
Nevan is not only more talented than we imagined—he’s helped heal the heartbreak of saying goodbye to her former partner. The entire process was seamless, transparent, and tailored. If you’re considering importing but don’t know where to begin, Equiphaire is where you start—and where you’ll stay. We wouldn’t work with anyone else."

Myhre Equine Clinic's mission is to provide high quality services and unsurpassed care for all horses and owners 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our highly skilled and experienced team will work with you, your veterinarian and your farrier to provide the best diagnostics and treatment available. We understand the importance of your horse's well-being, and we're here for you every step of the way, offering superior care and services at affordable prices. After growing up on his family's Midwest farm, Dr. Grant Myhre has continued to build on his knowledge of horses. Graduating from the Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine and completing his Large Animal/Surgery internship at Colorado College of Veterinary Medicine, and a two-year residency at Cornell University, he launched his career as a surgeon (and later, hospital director), leading the Rochester/Myhre Equine Clinic to the forefront of veterinary medicine. Dr. Myhre has held a directorship in several professional organizations, including the New Hampshire Horse Council, New Hampshire Thoroughbred Breeders and Racing Association, New England Equine Research Fund, the New England Equine Care and Hospital Development Fund, the New Hampshire Farm Museum, and the New Hampshire Academy for Equine Sciences Charter School. His interest in human medicine (6 week rotation) and association in nuclear scintigraphy (authorized user and radiation safety officer) spurred his interest in cutting-edge diagnostic technology. He was the pivotal individual in bringing the only nuclear medicine lab to Rochester Equine Clinic (now Myhre Equine Clinic) in Northern New England. This laboratory has now grown to include radiopharmaceutical cancer treatments and one of the most modern gamma cameras and computer systems in veterinary medicine, complementing this modality. Dr. Myhre was also the first in Northern New England to pioneer innovations from arthroscopy to digital radiology.
