⌖ Mandate · No. 01

“We treat every horse as a long-term holding –
not a transaction. Your dream is our dream.

SONO Hunter & Equitation operates on private mandates. We source talent across Europe, underwrite each acquisition with veterinary and conformation due diligence, and develop the horse against a written programme – one horse, one rider, one objective.

⌖ Methodology · No. 03

How an asset
becomes a partner.

The four-stage framework SONO has refined since 2007. Each acquisition is underwritten, insured and developed with a written milestone plan.

I. Stage

Source

Continental scouting – Holstein, Holland, Sweden, Belgium, Iberia. We see the horse young, before the market does.

II. Stage

Underwrite

Full veterinary, conformation and pedigree dossier. Independent valuation, insurance and provenance verified.

III. Stage

Develop

One rider, one written programme. Twelve to twenty-four months of tailored work toward a defined discipline.

IV. Stage

Place

Matched to the rider’s brief – never the other way around. Aftercare, vet and trainer continuity for two seasons.

Linn Widmark

“A SONO horse is an asset only as long as it’s also a partner. Our job is to make certain it’s both – every season.”

Through Linn, SONO carries its hunter & equitation discipline into international showjumping – a continuous exchange of programmes, horses and standards across the group.

One standard.
Three holdings.

Hunter & Equitation sits inside the SONO Group alongside SONO Hospitality and SONO Real Estate – the same discretion, the same long-term capital, the same conviction that a quiet asset, well kept, outperforms a loud one.
