For every rider chasing success in the ring, one element can change everything: the right horse. Whether you're stepping up a level, returning after time away, or setting your sights on international goals, your journey begins with a true partner, one that matches your style, supports your ambition, and feels like home in the saddle. The right horse is a gem, that rare find where everything just clicks. But in today’s fast-moving global market, discovering that perfect match is no easy task. That’s where Jumping Gems comes in.

Jumping Gems is a personalized equestrian sales service designed for show jumping athletes who want more than just a horse, they want a future partner, a competitive edge, and a buying experience they can trust. Founded by CEO and sales lead Francesca Arcaini, the Netherlands-based Jumping Gems was built to pair riders of all levels with horses that truly align with their skills, aspirations, and long-term goals.

That means no endless scrolling through online listings, no guesswork, and no wasted trips. Instead, clients gain access to trusted connections, expert guidance, and a clear, thoughtful path to their next top mount. Jumping Gems scouts and arranges test rides in eight key equestrian hubs, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, and Denmark, with expansion already underway.

Unlike traditional sales platforms, Jumping Gems isn’t a marketplace, it’s a tailored, high-touch service. By taking the time to deeply understand a rider’s goals, style, and competitive ambitions, the team curates a shortlist of quality horses from a vetted international network of respected sellers and professionals. Every recommendation is strategic, confidential, and backed by real-world experience at the top levels of the sport.

“It started with a love for horses, but it became something much bigger,” Francesca says. “Jumping Gems was born from long days at the stables, early mornings, long drives, the moments no one else sees. This isn’t just a business, it’s a journey shaped by communication, dedication, and shared goals. Jumping Gems is a space for anyone who’s drawn to the world of horses. Here, every story matters.”

It all begins with a thoughtful conversation. Whether a rider is searching for a future Grand Prix prospect, a proven campaigner, or a talented young horse ready to develop, Jumping Gems starts by listening, getting a clear picture of the rider’s needs, ambitions, and preferences. From there, the team takes the reins and manages every detail with precision:

• Carefully matched candidates are selected based on the rider’s current level and long-term goals. For those unable to travel, video and remote test ride services are available. Clients who do travel typically view five to eight horses per day, all handpicked for their potential fit.
   
• Access to a deep, trusted network that spans Europe and beyond. Transparent communication is a cornerstone of the process, as Jumping Gems builds a relationship with each client and taps into their extensive network of professionals to locate top prospects.
   
• Honest, informed evaluations help riders make smart decisions, not rushed ones. The team gathers feedback after each viewing to fine-tune the search and ensure only the best matches move forward.
   
• Support through every step includes coordinating vet checks, managing travel logistics, and handling negotiations. The process concludes only when the horse arrives safely at its new home.

Jumping Gems takes the stress out of horse shopping, saving clients time, money, and frustration, while increasing the likelihood of long-term success in the ring. Whether it’s the first major investment or an addition to an international string, Jumping Gems ensures the journey to the perfect partner is smooth, strategic, and rewarding.

Riders at every level are turning to Jumping Gems not just for access to top horses, but for the confidence that comes with a trusted process. Clients consistently report smoother experiences, stronger matches, and lasting satisfaction with their new partners.

For Susan Hibbard of the United States, the search marked a fresh start. After an in-depth consultation, Jumping Gems went to work, researching over 50 horses and narrowing the field to 15 that aligned with Susan’s goals and riding style. Each horse was test ridden, thoroughly photographed, and evaluated with care. Susan ultimately chose Santa Fee vd Molendreef, with the Jumping Gems team guiding her through the vetting and arranging delivery to Chicago.

“Santa Fee is the perfect combination of brave and careful, quiet, yet responsive. Kind of goofy on the ground, but all business under saddle,” Susan says. “Francesca was incredibly thorough. She dug deeper on every horse that caught my eye, getting specific videos, radiographs, and answers to detailed questions. She was also quick to move on when something didn’t feel right. As we went along, she refined her understanding of exactly what I needed. And eventually, we found Santa Fee. I’m so excited to begin this next chapter with such a beautiful, talented, and athletic partner.”

Behind every standout pair is a partnership that works, and often, a matchmaker who saw the potential from the start. That’s exactly what Jumping Gems does.

Finding the right horse isn’t just another step, it’s a turning point. It’s the moment your goals become tangible, your training finds purpose, and your story gains momentum. The right horse brings more than results; it brings joy, confidence, and a sense of partnership that can define your entire career. And with Jumping Gems, you don’t have to search endlessly or settle for uncertainty. They believe the right horse should be matched to you.

Let Jumping Gems handle the hard part, so you can stay focused on what truly matters: riding, training, and winning with a partner that fits.
