About
Welcome!
Vintage Farm Sales is a training and sales operation run by Alex Matz out of Coatesville, PA and Wellington, FL. Vintage Farm Sales focuses on developing young jumpers into top Grand Prix competitors, furthering already established horses in their careers, and providing training services for clients both at home and at shows.
Alex's early education in the horse industry came from both his father, Olympic silver medalist Michael Matz, and mother, Pan-American bronze medalist DD Matz. Alex also spent time working for and learning from Olympic medalists Beezie Madden and Jos Lansink before starting Vintage Farm Sales.
Early in his career, Alex competed at the 2015 & 2016 North American Junior & Young Rider Championships and had success in U25 Grand Prix competition.
He then went on to earn multiple international victories with his longtime partner Cashew CR, including FEI 4* victories in Wellington, Devon, Saugerties, Upperville, and Lexington, as well as FEI 5* victories in Spruce Meadows, the Hamptons, and Toronto - notably capping off Cashew's career with a win in the 5* 1.50m at the Royal Winter Fair in 2025.
​
Alex made his senior debut for Team USA in May of 2022 at the CSIO3* in Lisbon, producing a double clear effort aboard Cashew CR. Since, he has represented Team USA in CSIO5* competition in St. Tropez, Dublin, and Barcelona.
​
Most recently, Alex and 5 Star Partners' Ikigai have reached the podium in multiple FEI 5* Grand Prix appearances, including Toronto, the Hamptons, and Barcelona.
