CONSIGNMENT

 

Due to popular demand, we are now offering consignment sales for our clients. Selling a horse can be a dreaded experience for some riders who don’t have the time or required resources to get the job done on their own. Work schedules, lack of safe riding facilities and even privacy concerns are some of the many reasons our clients choose to consign horses. Consigning allows our clients freedom from worries like no-show potential Buyers, missed work, and rider liability. 

​

HOW IT WORKS:

The seller sets a price for which they will sell the horse and when the horse is first moved to our facility we work with the horse to get to know the horse. If the horse passes our evaluation, we continue our process of marketing and selling.  We take photographs, produce a sales video, and advertise.  We advertise through our website and we also utilize other channels. We also let our extensive list of clients know horses are available, through email, and by making phone calls. Horses are usually up for sale within 30 days from moving into our barn, depending on the horse and situation.  See below for the list of fees and what we provide.

​

DISCLAIMER:
We hope to be in business for many more years, so we reserve the right to refuse representing dangerous or unsuitable horses. We are practical people and realize the fluke occurrences happen. We also understand the nature and psychology of horses. That said, we are qualified to make the final determination of suitability and reserve the right to do so. We can not stake our reputation on horses who don't suit our program. We will do everything in our power to evaluate fairly and give your horse the best possible opportunity to find a new home, but we cannot make guarantees.
