About the Founder

Liam McGarry

For Liam McGarry, horses have never just been a profession — they've been a way of life.

A third-generation horseman, Liam was raised on his family's farm in Ballycastle, Northern Ireland, where horses have always been at the heart of everyday life. Today, he continues that tradition alongside his wife, Grace, and their two daughters, Aoife and Niamh.

With more than 25 years competing nationally and internationally in showjumping, Liam has developed an eye for quality horses that only comes from decades in the sport. Throughout his career he has built a reputation for identifying talented horses, negotiating fair deals, and connecting the right horse with the right rider.

Horses Sourced

At Equitell, Liam's role is much more than simply sourcing horses. He acts as a trusted buyer's representative, using an extensive network of respected breeders, producers and dealers across Ireland, the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States and Canada to access exceptional horses — many of which are never publicly advertised.

His approach is founded on honesty, transparency and long-term relationships. By dealing directly with owners wherever possible and providing clear, transparent fees, Liam helps clients avoid costly mistakes, secure fair prices, and buy with confidence.

Whether you're searching for your next international prospect, a talented amateur horse, or your dream competition partner, Liam's goal remains the same: to make the buying process straightforward, enjoyable and successful, while ensuring every client finds the right horse — not simply the available horse.
