"When it comes to shopping and importing the perfect horse, Kathy Connelly and Toine Hoefs are truly a winning combination. Their integrity along with the desire to create a harmonious partnership between horse and rider make it a pleasure working with them. I had the pleasure of coaching Tami Hoag on her wonderful Grand Prix mare Felicki that she found through Toine and Kathy. This is a prime example of their ability to make a perfect match."- Betsy Steiner

"Kathy Connelly's great dedication and honesty for over thirty years has taught me a great deal about the complicated beautiful art of dressage. I admire her perceptive eye and ability to understand the mind of the horse. I have bought several horses with Kathy and Toine, confident that they were honestly represented. They have so much experience and they care deeply about the success of the partnership between the horse and rider."
"I recently purchased in 2005 a young horse by Biotop from Kathy and Toine. I left him at Toine’s for training for 5 months and brought him home in January. He has won all of his classes so far with very high scores." - Laine Hills
