What people are saying

  • “I had the extraordinary pleasure of purchasing a horse from Adriana Nannini, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible experience. She is not your typical horse seller; she is an exceptional woman who goes above and beyond to ensure both the horse and the buyer find their perfect match. From our first interaction, Adriana exhibited a deep understanding of horses and their individual needs. She took the time to listen to what type of unicorn I was looking for - I had ridden, hunted, and evented the same horse for more than 17 years, and knew that finding a new partner would be hard. She was so patient as I swung my leg over Pippi for the first time, offering encouragement and support when needed. Pippi has surpassed all expectations. Not only was she exactly as described, but it was clear that Adriana had invested time and effort into ensuring the horse was well-trained, well-cared-for, and had a strong bond with humans. The transparency and honesty throughout the transaction spoke volumes about Adriana’s integrity and commitment to the welfare of her horses. I was lucky enough to leave Pippi at Tall Tale Equestrian to continue her education for a few months after purchasing her. During that time, Pippi started fox hunting and went to a couple of Horse Trials both of which she flourished. I made meaningful friendships with the TTE crew and memories to last a lifetime. Adriana’s dedication to creating lasting connections between horses and their new owners sets her apart. I feel privileged to have crossed paths with such an incredible equestrian. If you’re in search of not just a horse, but a lifelong companion, I wholeheartedly recommend Adriana Nannini. She brings expertise, honesty, and a genuine love for horses to every transaction, making the journey of finding the perfect equine partner an absolute delight.”

  • "It's always a challenge to shop for horses, so arriving at Adriana's farm to try a horse that was exactly as represented was a breath of fresh air. Adriana was easy to work with and committed to finding the right match for her horses. The gelding I purchased has had a start that both my eventing and dressage trainers have been thrilled with - clearly someone who knows how to put a meaningful foundation on a young thoroughbred. The purchase process was easy and transparent. I highly recommend this farm to others looking for their next partner."

  • “The day last year when I noticed an ad for a lovely OTTB filly was a really fortunate day for me! I fell hard for the beautiful creature with the light, balanced, forward movement, and immediately called. I drove down, probably the next day, and met two young ladies, who upped the joy factor in my life significantly! One was the filly, who makes me happy every day, and the other was Adriana, who has such a brilliant eye for a wonderful horse. A few months later, I was having so much fun with my young mare that I went back to Adriana and bought a 3-year-old OTTB gelding, also a perfect delight! As a former upper-level 3-day competitor and lifelong Thoroughbred lover, I feel qualified to brag about the quality of these horses. And yes, Adriana was totally honest about the horses themselves; yes, she was flexible and very responsive and a complete pleasure to do business with; but Adriana Nannini is a lot more than that. Not only is she truly skilled at spotting true talent in a prospect, but she herself is such a joy to be around that I have claimed her as a friend for life. (And I wish I could have every horse in her barn!)”

  • “I've known Adri for many years as a direct and straightforward individual. More recently, I've known her as a skilled marketer with an impressive track record of selling horses. When I made the difficult decision to part with my horse, I contacted Adri to act as my agent. She did a great job of promoting my horse through video and social media. Her efforts quickly produced a qualified buyer, and she was able to negotiate a fast, uncomplicated sale for the asking price on my behalf. I am grateful to Adri for finding the perfect home for my boy, and highly recommend her services. ”

  • "Selling horses is certainly not my forte, and something I have little experience with. So when it came time to sell my OTTB, I knew just where to turn. Adri was able to quickly devise a plan of marketing that best suited both horse and client. I received constant communication with updates and any changes throughout the entire process. With her expertise and knowledge, the horse was able to find an extremely well matched home."
