Buying or Selling


Buying or selling a horse is often done with goodwill and an assumption that the person you are dealing with is trustworthy.

Agreements for the sale and purchase of a horse may include:

  • A description of its horse including breed, height, colour, age.
  • A description of its breeding.
  • A description of its manner and temperament.
  • A description of its confirmation and marking.
  • A description of what it has done in the past.
  • A description of what the horse is being sold to do/ its prospects.
  • A description of whether it is good to shoe, box, clip, ride on the roads.
By recording these agreements you can ensure you avoid financial problems and heartache if a verbal deal is not honoured. Upon purchasing or selling a horse we can evaluate your situation and requirements to create a bespoke agreement. In the event of a dispute arising after the sale or purchase of a horse, a written agreement will provide a solution to any discrepancies, establising what was orginally agreed.
