Welcome to DressageHorses.ru, the web site devoted to the horse trading business between Russia and Europe.

My name is Julia Slavina, and I am the founder and mastermind of DressageHorses.ru. Despite not being a professional rider, I have always been involved with horses. Since childhood, horses have been my only and very best hobby. They became a lifestyle for me when I bought my first horse. It was a Hanoverian 7 y.o. beautiful bay gelding born and trained in Russia.

DressageHorses.ru was established at the beginning of 2010, when its web site went live. Before that time I already had experience in searching for and buying a horse in Europe for myself. It would be an inexcusable mistake not to use this practical experience and skills to help other people to find the horses they are looking for.

I have a business education specialized in marketing and management. My extensive experience of work in marketing for multinational FMCG companies, founding and developing my own real estate business, and my growing knowledge of horses and people help me to work effectively in the international horse market.

My approach to work with customers and partners those days and now - simplicity and professionalism. Simplicity means that people should speak one language and understand each other. Professionalism means the ability to do the work in the best way, experience, and a willingness to learn every day and to improve yourself.
I believe that only honest work and the ability to change offer a future to any business. Many people say “the horse world is not honest”. Let them talk  -  I will do it my own way without any hidden games.

Let me express many thanks to my partners, who share the same views, and work hard together with me. Special thanks to Irene Wolfs, head of international relations at KWPN, the first Dutch lady I met in my life, and the one who encouraged me towards Dutch horses.

DressageHorses.ru has ambitious plans for the future. At the moment we concentrate on horse sales, but we will always be glad to consider proposals for other horse related opportunities.
