Consignment

If you would like to send a horse on consignment to get sold, that horse needs to be in training.

We need to know what we are selling.

We need to make sure the horse is the type that we want to represent and that it also represents what it is said to be. We reserve the right to not represent a horse and will let you know immediately if that is the situation.

We are honest with buyers about the horses and will market them toward areas in which they show us they have the skill sets or for which we feel they show the most potential.  If we feel another trainer or program is a better fit for the horse and the goal for the horse, we will have that conversation with owners and discuss options. We want what is best for the horse, the owner and the potential buyer.      

Timeline. Most of the time the horse needs some riding and potentially groceries, before we are able to get marketing materials together. Each situation is different and we will communicate where your horse falls in the timeline. Depending on what is needed for marketing materials, we create videos as short as 3 minutes and as long as 45min.  Sometimes multiple videos are also needed. We will also discuss different strategies and avenues for selling a particular horse. Maybe the timing of an online or in person Auction is appealing or maybe a private sale is best. We take care of online marketing,  questions, scheduling and showings. 

Selling a horse is a time consuming process. It is not out of the question that it could take 2-4 months. This is especially true if we are listing horses above $20,000.  These situations tend to deal with people traveling a distance, driving or flying. Then we have schedule management. Most people can't clear their schedules very quickly and they most likely don't have a clear schedule when they have found a horse they are serious about purchasing. Add more time if a potential buyer orders a vet check. This is also why we hold strong on representing the horse(s) for what it is - misleading someone about a horse drains everyone's resources, includign our own.
