Bridget, This is a picture of Tobias, now called Cavallino at the Jr Championships in NY.
He placed 10th in the classic round and 11th under saddle. We bought him from you last year before Ocala HITS.
We couldn't be happier with our purchase. Thanks again for everything.
Kristie Dimarakis, Atlanta Georgia.

Hi Ms. Bridget,
I don't know if Stella told you but after over a month of consideration "Pal's" new name is Silence is Golden "Apollo".
Apollo and I have been doing really well in shows and at home.
We bonded very quickly when I can't go out to the barn on any given day I miss him terribly and he feels the same, I am sure.
We have gotten so many offers all of them over TWICE what we paid for him at horse shows, and none of the people believe he's only 5 1/2 years old.
We got reserve champion in Long Stirrup Hunters our first horse show together (Aiken PSJ in 02/08).
Ever since that horse show we have gotten either champion or reserve in Long Stirrup Hunters.
Now that I finally learned to ride him correctly we have gotten Champion in Long Stirrup Equitation our last 4 horse shows.
He also no longer flips his lead at the canter (usually).
We have also been doing really well in 12-14 Equitation on the flat (we can't do the jumping courses because they are set at 2'6" and Long stirrup is only 2'3" so PSJ won't allow me to move up in height just down.)
Every time out, minus our first horse show, in 12-14 we have pinned with nothing less than a 5th place.
Thanks for finding me this amazing horse!
Sincerely,
Britnee Kratochvil, Bluffton, S.C.

Bridget and Mike, Thank you so much for everything you have done for me.
I really appreciate all the wonderful training and advice you two have provided me.
Showing with you guys is a blast and I look forward to going to New York for the Marshall and Sterling Championship with my new wonderful mare Kahlua and Cream.
I most certainly plan on showing with your family in the future, and definetly look forward to it!
Once again, thank you.
Alyssa, Allison and Kahlua Sferrazza, Melbourne, Fl

Hi Bridgette,
Don’t know if Esther already sent you pics of our boy, "Spongebob" winning Best In Show at our annual Agricultural Exhibition but here they are. We just love him!!!! Sue Correia, Bermuda

Bridget, Just a note to say hello and give you a one year update...Caroline is showing Maggie in the Large Green Pony division. They are having a wonderful time together. Caroline qualified for Pony Finals at her first "A" show of the year in December. She was reserve champion in the large green pony division and placed 2nd in the USEF Pony Medal. We are excited about Pony Finals. I will keep you updated. We are so happy with the pony and just wanted to let you know we really appreciate the time you spent helping us find her. The Robersons Charlotte, Kevin, Caroline and Andrew Hilton Head Island S.C.

Bridget & Mike,
Just wanted to thank you guys for being so nice. I am looking forward to showing "Rivano".
Millie Russell, Ocala, Fl

Circumstances forced me to sell a horse that I cared about a lot and as difficult as that decision was, Mike and Bridget made it so much easier. Having sold a horse through them, I would not hesitate to buy a horse through them, they are very straight forward with all the parties involved in the sale, and they go to a lot of effort to match people with the right horse. We need more people like them in the horse industry. Thanks Again, Virginia Ball, Athens, Georgia

Dear Bridget and Mike,
My sincerest thanks for finding my horse "Bunny" a loving home with Ashley Bowdoin, pictured above. The need to sell was becoming desperate and frightening.
Your constant support and frequent email updates really helped to calm my anxieties. I was consistently impressed with your professionalism, not to mention your tremendous success in getting her sold!!
I will certainly pass your name along to anyone in need of a new home for their horse. I hope that I can someday throw some business your way. Best of luck in all your future endeavors!
Yours Truly, Debra Goodell, Amherst, N.Y.

Dear Bridget and Mike,
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! That does not even begin to tell the story.
Our first trip to your barn was made with a lot of emotion. Saying good-bye to our first pony was one of the hardest things we had to do. There were tears all around.
We really appreciate the hard work you put in selling him; from the week-end in Jacksonville at Bob Bell's show...with a first in the USEF Pony Medals to the contacts you made.
The end result was a SOLD pony in one month. That was just the beginning.
Large pony shopping came next. Little did we know the hard part was ahead of us.
I lost count of the ponies you set up for us to look at...I think it was somewhere around 50. Week-end after week-end was spent horse shopping and horse showing in Florida.
I was beginning to think Caroline was never going to find that perfect large pony. Caroline was constantly checking your website and just before heading down to Florida for the last week-end she saw a new pony on your site.
Caroline and Stella looked at more ponies that week-end at HITS with no luck. Saturday Caroline heard the announcer call the name Woodland's Morning Glory and there she was...the pony she saw on your website!
We tried her Saturday and showed her in two classes Sunday and she came to our barn Monday.
We feel so blessed to have found the perfect match. We now have an extended pony family...Thank you AnnaLee, Jan, Sally and all of your riding friends.
A big thank you to Bridget and Stella. We could not have done it without you.
Caroline showed her new pony last week-end at Chateau Elan and walked away with a huge smile and a reserve champion ribbon in Short Stirrup. Sincerely, The Roberson's Charlotte, Kevin, Caroline and Andrew, Hilton Head, S.C.

Bridget, I can't believe how quickly our pony, Woodland's Morning Glory sold!!!
It is the popularity and professional setup of your site that we owe this successful transaction.
It was great meeting you in person and I look forward to doing lots more business with you in the future.
We hear that "Glo" is very happy at her new home in Hilton Head and we wish Caroline nothing but success and positive riding with this special pony.
Thanks so much, Sally Martin, Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina.

Dear Bridget and Mike(s),
Thank you for everything you did in helping us find a pony for our 6 year old daughter.
We spent a long week-end in Florida, thankful to be there in November than Chicago! The trip you set us up on was something Gia and I will never forget!
We video taped each stop and each pony to save and enjoy someday we Gia and Daisy are both teen agers and older!
Every farm you sent us to and every pony we saw was exactly what you said it was.
Gia still talks about Tulsa. But, as you know we found the winner in our little Daisy.
Daisy and Gia have been getting to know each other for the past few months and doing just great!
Daisy is a little fancier than we even expected. She is training up nicely and should green pony and short stirrup champions by summer. As soon as I have a picture, we'll send you one.
I wouldn't hesitate to send anyone looking for horses or ponies your way. I truly appreciate you honesty and integrity.
In a business where those types of values aren't often found, I'm amazed at your connections and how their respect for you keeps them honest.
Mike, I also appreciate the hospitality you extended to us even though Chicago pizza kicks New York and Florida pizza any day!
Thanks again, I hope we keep in touch,
Kelly and Gia Gulino, Chicago, Illinois.

Hi Bridget,
Just wanted to thank you for posting the pictures and updates of TEI and Ashley. I am so relieved to see that they are such a good fit.
Your love of the horse and finding the perfect match is why I used you to sell TEI. Thanks again for selling TEI to the perfect match.
I also saw Muchkin, the other pony you sold for me, the other day and he is doing great.
He is the favorite lesson pony at the barn, and he loves the attention. Thanks again, Janet Wood

Dear Mike and Bridget I know that Elka has recently emailed you regarding Tie but I just wanted to give you an update too.
Today was our first proper show - Ashley was short stirrup champion with a first over fences and (I think), 3rd on the flat.
Tie was Hunter pony reserve champion with a win over fences and 6th on the flat - I think like 9th in hand - all in all he was a super star - I just LOVE him
She is going to have sooo much fun with him - she also cleaned up last week in the dressage show.
Thank you again for matching us with him. Hope that all is well with you Love Dawn xxx

Dear Bridget and Mike,
Where has the summer gone!
I have been meaning to send you some photos of Tei and Ash. They are getting along just great and Tei has settled very nicely.
He has put on some weight and his coat is just gorgeous. Ash has really bonded with him.
You won’t get over how much she has grown since these photos were taken.
She is now 5 foot!!! He is proving to be a good teacher for her.
He is still a pony though, and has given her a couple of throws, but she is a toughie and just gets back up on him.
I thought you would get a laugh out of the photos; particularly the last one where Tei and Ash are dressed like Hawaiian dancers!
They were in a real cute fun show in June.
She took him in a dressage show last weekend and came away with two 1st and one 3rd.
This week she is taking Tei in the short stirrup division --- her first time over fences in a show!!!! (my eyes will be closed)
Hope you are just fine. Would be great to see you both in Bermuda one day!!!
Kindest Regards Elka and Ashley

Dear Mike and Bridget,
Ash and I just returned to Bermuda yesterday and drove directly to the stable to give Tei hugs and treats!
He has adjusted to his new stable and pony buddies so very well. He really is a kind soul.
Thank you again for the great experience in purchasing our very first pony.
Thank you for taking the time to select the appropriate ponies for Ash to try out.
She really had a blast. It was so much fun to be with you guys.
We hope that we will see you in Bermuda real soon.
Elka

Hi Mike & Bridget
I would just like to thank you once again for taking such GREAT care of us.
We really appreciate all of your help and are thrilled to have Tei.
I am sure he will be a great addition to my barn in Bermuda.
There is still snow on the ground here in NH - hard to believe after being in Florida!!
I will be back in Bermuda on Tuesday and will let you know that Tei has arrived safely.
Thanks again Dawn Fox, Bermuda

Dear Bridget,
I'd like to thank you so much for all of you help. I've never had such a good experience shopping for horses.
You were so kind, thoughtful, professional, and fun to be around. Thank you for letting us tag along with you at the show.
You were always checking to see if we were happy and ok and that made the experience so much better.
Gritty is doing very well and seems to be settling in right at home.
Her and her big brother get along great and go out in turnout together all the time.
Everyone keeps asking me about where I got her and I tell them about you and how much of a help you were.
I hope I can send you pictures soon and next winter me and Sarah can come down to HITS with you.
THANKS AGAIN! Lauren Jacob, Chicago, Illinois

The following two comments were from a trainer and shopper who came from Missouri looking to purchase a pony.
Although they did not purchase one of ours, their comments say alot for shopping with Showtime Horse Sales.

Bridget and Mike;
Capri and I want to thank you VERY MUCH for all you did to help us find a pony.
You were so nice, proffessional in everything you did; knowledgable, helpful; and fun to be around.
We enjoyed being at your place to try ponies out. We are just sorry that we had to make that VERY hard decision on which pony.
Although we are happy with our decision; we feel bad it wasn't your pony; or one that you showed us.
You did everything for us that you said you would and more... We can't thank you enough; and I wanted you to know that we were honored to meet both of you, and can only talk good of you, your place, and your business.
We will definitely come to see you when Capri is ready for a horse and we will reccommend you to anyone looking for a pony or horse!
We appreciate all you did and give Blackie a smooch from us, anyway, will you?
Good Luck at the horse shows this weekend. Capri said to tell you thank you for letting her ride Blackie again and she enjoyed it all very much.
With sincere thanks and respect;
Marina and Capri Teague, Cleveland, MO

Bridget and Mike,
I just wanted to tell you again how much I really really appreciated all that you did for us this weekend.
I am sorry they decided not to go with Black, but I now know where you are and what you have so I will CERTAINLY send everyone I know your way.
I have two kids coming along that may need a pony in the near future that I hope to bring your way too.
I also have a kid that needs a children's hunter that I would love to bring down there.
She could not make it with us this time. I am hoping to talk that kid and her family into coming very soon.
I will stay in touch let you know if this kid could make the trip too.
Again, I was so impressed with you and I can't tell you how much I appreciated all the time you took for us.
THANK YOU! very sincerely, Kendall Lacy , Cleveland, MO

Bridget Here are some new shots of Amber and Alora at HITS
Amber was 5th in SS eq with an entry of well over 20 ponies.
Amber was Reserve in Schooling Hunter Ponies and 5th over fences.
Thanks again, Estelle and Alora, Long Island, New York.

Hi Bridgette and Mike,
I wanted to send you some photos of Peter Pan. Morgan and him are getting along great! He has been the perfect pony for her to gain back confidence. We are looking forward to going to Morgan's first A rated show at Delray in a few weeks. I will let you know how they do and send more photos. I truly appreciate your help and being so patient with us getting over to try him out. I will be calling you soon Pat and I are going to start looking for a new horse for myself. Thanks again for all your help! We look forward to seeing you around the shows!

Dear Bridget, Who knows if you'll even remember me now, because it has taken me soooo long to write to you!!!! This is Chelsea Legris. I have been so busy with "Irish", which we knew him by when we got him (now called Aspen), that it has been hard to find time to write you! But I just had to say thank you sooo sooo much for helping me find him. Aspen is the greatest horse ever, and you made my first horse-buying experience a terrific one. I have told all of my friends that if they ever need a horse, to go to you. I could not be happier with Aspen, he is just the sweetest little guy ever. We were supposed to be going to our first show tomorrow, but it was cancelled because of the rain. I also had the pleasure of meeting your sister about a month ago, when she drove down through Jacksonville. Of all the places she decided to keep her horse for a few days, it was Skyway Meadows, which is where Aspen and I are! She reminded me so much of you, and we talked a little bit. Okay, I don't want to make this too long. So once again, thank you sooooooooo much for helping me find Aspen!!!!!!!! Attached are some pictures of him, but I'm not sure if they'll work. : ) Sincerely, Chelsea Legris Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

Dear Bridget (now Aunt Bridget), Sorry it took us awhile to write but we have been busy with our pony, thanks to you! Amber has been with us for almost 3 months now and she is progressing in her training. She has made Alora very happy the two of them have learned allot together. Alora rides Amber 6 days a week and she working on her leads. We are hoping to have them both ready as a team for the spring shows. I want to thank you for all your time and patience it was a pleasure working with you. I also want to thank you for always making the time to talk to me and for answering all my crazy questions and for sending Amber to us. You have been wonderful thank you taking care of us! And Alora just adores Amber she is beautiful and a clown and loveable and sometimes cranky all at the same time a true Pony! We love her!

Hi, Bridget - I just wanted to apologize for rushing out of town the way we did! We spent a LONG time at the vet waiting for X-rays, and left immediately for Atlanta, with Lauren hogging the cell phone to call all her friends about Goldie! Thank you so much for all that you did. We're expecting Goldie to arrive next week, Lauren is beside herself waiting! We'll be sure to keep you updated, and I hope to return to Ocala in the near future with other clients. You were so helpful, I can't wait to do more shopping with you. Thanks again, from me and the Davis family.

Michelle Reeves, Albuquerque, NM

Hey Bridget it's Jessica. I thought i would write you and let you know how things are going. "Redbone" lol.. or "Noah" as we have renamed him is settling right in. I rode him for the first time yesterday and he was a total angel :) It was a long haul coming home and I know he was tired, but he trailered like a true gentleman. He has already made quite a few pasture buddies and has quickly established himself as "top dog" hehe.. He's proving to be quite a character lol So, as you can see, he is working out great and I couldn't be happier. Thanks so much again for all your time and effort. Once I get this one going good and we get our barn finished I might just come get another one to play with, so keep your eyes open. I would love to see those photos of "Noah" if you still have them. Thanks again for all your help.

Jessica, Cordova, Tennessee

Hi Bridget - I see on your website that Andrea has already let you know that all three horses are doing very well. We saw Darcy at the Red Hills Horse Trials here in Tallahassee, but lost her in the crowd before we could speak to her. Christy was disappointed that we didn't get a chance to tell her how well Danny is doing, so I told her I would send you an an Email and ask you to send it on to Darcy, too. All three horses, Neon Nights (Danny), South Pacific (Marlin), and Magic Marker (Magic) are still doing very well. All three girls have moved-up to Modified Children's Hunter classes this year. Christy has been working hard this last year, riding almost seven days a week, bringing Danny along very slowly under Andrea's guidance. They were 2002 Champion for CCHJA in Intermediate. In February all three girls went to the PSJ Show in Gainesville and did well. Christy was reserve in 12-14 equitation. We ended up with some great photos from that show so I have attached a few. Feel free to use them as you would like. I think they will speak for themselves about Danny's progress.

Christy would want me to tell you that Danny does great between the fences too, which she considers to be 80% of the ride, and which part she has worked hardest on in training him. Proper pace, good lead changes, quiet head - all that stuff you judges look for.
Thanks again, Chris Merritt, Tallahassee, Florida

Congratulations to Nancy Hellwell and Castleton Farms, owner and trainer of Castleton's CoCo.

Amber Henter shown below on Danny which her family purchased through Showtime Horse Sales was Junior High Point Champion at the Florida Hunter Classic Association , Horse Shows in the Park 2002 Show Series. Amber has been doing very well on Danny this year. She has won Grand Champion at Lake Park in Low Hunter and was circuit champion there in low hunter. She has also gotten Reserve Champion at Wickham Park in the mini-medal. Congratulations to Amber and her Pony "Danny" for such a successful show season.

Kristen Mohr shown below on her pony A.P.Loosa.Com which was purchased through Showtimehorsesales, was the overall high point Walk/Trot Champion for the Florida Hunter Classic Association, Horse Shows in The Park for the Winter/ Spring 2002 Circuit. Congratulations Kristen and A.P.Loosa.Com for a great show season.

Bridget, Thanks so much for everything!!! It has been really great working with you. All three of our guys are doing great. The girls are so happy with their new horses. You really seemed to figure out what I was looking for and you were so patient helping us find it. I knew when you called about the second horse that it was the one!. I loved your enthusiasm. You had so many quality horses lined up. You truly made every trip worth while. I will never hesitate to call you when I have a client who wants to find the perfect match.. Andrea Butera Tallahassee, Florida

Dear Bridget: Thank you so much for helping to sell a client's pony. I know it is normally not quite so easy, but you had the right buyer the first time we showed her! After a short trial and prepurchase exam the deal was closed. The client and I are thankful for a quick sale and also knowing "LEAH" will be at a wonderful show home. We know Erin will be thrilled with "LEAH". Thanks again!! Beth Davidson Black Dog Farm Plant City, FL

Bridget, Just wanted to give you an Emma and Gypsy update. We have had her for almost five months now and the two seem to be really clicking. The progress and improvements have been incredible. They are tearing up the crossrails. Well thanks again for connecting us with Gypsy. Hope you are still having fun putting smiles on kids faces!!!!!!! and Parents too!!!!!

Thanks again, Lori

We have had the pleasure of working with Bridget at Showtime Horse Sales on several purchases over the past year for students in training at our hunter barn. Bridget got a feel for what we needed each time, and was patient when they didn't work out, and kept trying until we got it right. The two horses we did purchase are winners all the time. In the shows they have been in, they have come out as either Grand Champion or Reserve in each of their divisions. We couldn't be happier with our purchases and should we need to sell or purchase another pony/horse we wouldn't hesitate to use Bridget again.
Mel Henter, El Cazador Equestrian Center. St. Petersburg, Florida

In my search for children's ponies, Bridget has been very helpful. I live in south Florida and when I can plan a trip up there she works hard at lining up
a selection of ponies meeting my qualifications. Her eye for quality horses saves me the legwork and makes every trip productive and efficient.

Hi Bridget, Snickers is such a doll. She is the perfect horse for my daughter. The mare here on the farm and her became immediate best friends.
Thank you for helping us find her. Thanks again!

Bridget, Sam Has been doing great!!! He's a very quick learner and has taken to small crossrails beautifuly! I'm really happy with him. Thank you for your help in finding him and I'll be calling you first when it comes to horse sales! Molly Phillips

For every equestrian rider , whether you are labeled a beginner, novice or advanced lies a particular horse that "clicks" with its owner. Sometimes it takes years for a rider to find that particular horse that bonds to his or her needs. I was the owner of a 2 year old TB nicknamed "Sam". At 2 years old he was very green broke and needed extensive polishing and finishing. With assistance from local trainers we were beginning to get results for a horse with a lot of potential. Unfortunately, medical reasons in my own personal life forced me to find a new owner for "Sam". Horse people have horse sense ten times over the horse themselves. Your own horses become family and you want to ensure they are sold to a good home. I checked out many internet horse wanted ads but found only one that goes the ultimate mile; www.showtimehorsesales.com. The farm's owner , Bridget is a qualified highly recommended horse agent and outstanding individual. I was highly impressed with her taking the time to find just the right owner for my horse and also keeping in mind this lady goes the" extra" mile for assisting in making sure the horse and rider "click" as a team. Her knowledge in this horse industry gets an A+. Many times she comes in time of need for veterinary assistance, horse transporting etc. You name it and she is there to lend a hand or listening ear. Bridget found my horse "Sam" the perfect new owner who is very happy. Both new owners and "Sam" are doing great. So, if you are looking for the perfect horse to buy, or looking for a good "horse match", this is your one stop shopping that has proven time after time to work.
Michelle T. Norberg, Crystal River, Florida

Bridget Imparato sold my Quarter Horse Paint within 7 days of listing him on her website. Her effort and professionalism more than earned her the commission.

Gary Patton, Master Farrier, Summerfield Florida.

I highly recommend the services of Bridget Imparato. She helped to find me a great quality horse that met all of my requirements. She was very professional and easily approachable on a personal level.

Hey Bridget!

How the heck are you?? I have been meaning to drop you a line to let you know the pony we bought from you is working out. WE LOVE HIM! He and my daughter have worked out to be quite a team. I still have Jenny school him twice a week, which has turned him into quite the little hunter. Caitlin and "Scout" are doing well at the local shows.

Sheri Bradfield
Flagler Beach, Florida

On two seperate shopping trips to Ocala, Bridget managed to line me up so many quality horses to look at that it was hard to decide which one's to bring home.The two trips resulted in the purchasing of three horses, all of which have fit in our program perfectly. I highly recommend her services when shopping in Florida.

Bridget, We are very pleased with INDY. Our buying experience was a pleasant one. The sellers are wonderful people and the horse is PERFECT!!! Our daughter looks foward to happy years ahead with her first horse. Thanks for all you did.

All the horses I have purchased in the past has been with Bridget Imparato's advice. These horses have always been exactly what I needed at the time. I intend to use her services for any future horses I will be buying.

Hi Bridget,
Just a quick note...Curley and our TB filly , Stormy are doing wonderful together !
She absolutley loves his company and I am very pleased to start riding again. Who would have thought that a 2 year old would be so kind and gentle. Curley is perfect for our family and our 2 1/2 year old daughter adores him.
