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. We take our time with each prospective buyer to ensure that matches are well made.
In summary, 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.
