- FIVE TIPS ON BUYING A HORSE
BUY DIRECTLY FROM THE BREEDER - If possible, always buy directly from the Breeder. Visit the farm, view the surroundings and management of the farm and ask to see the sire, dam and siblings. The care a horse receives as a foal will determine its overall health, temperament and soundness as an adult. If you do not know where the horse comes from or how it was reared as a youngster, stay clear of buying it.
BUY THE BEST YOU CAN AFFORD - The initial outlay of buying a horse is minuscule compared to the annual up-keep. The livery or up-keep costs of a good horse and an average horse are the same.
GET A FULL MEDICAL CHECKUP BY AN INDEPENDENT VETERINARIAN - Even when buying from reputable breeders, it is always advisable to engage an independent veterinarian to carry out a full medical check-out of the horse before purchase. If you do not know of one, contact us.
- PEACE OF MIND - INFORM US OF YOUR PURCHASE - If you inform us immediately you purchase an animal advertised on our website, we will offer to mediate should any problems arise with your purchase.
- AND LASTLY, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY - NEVER, BUT NEVER, PURCHASE A HORSE BASED ON A PHOTOGRAPH - A good photographer can make even a pony look tall! And do not be carried away because in the photo the horse looks stunning - really shiny with long-flowing mane. Take some time to study the horses's ancestry and background - where was it reared, who schooled it, how many owner's has it had - this is all really important!! And if in doubt, go straight to the Breeder!
