Before Buying
What to consider before arranging a viewing
-
You have the Appropriate funds available to buy before viewing
-
No horse is secure without a deposit
-
Please ensure you do actually want to buy a horse
-
Please ensure the horse you want to try is a height you are willing to buy
-
Be honest on your own ability!
-
Make sure the horse you’re interested in is suitable for your intentions
-
If you arrange a viewing, turn up or give plenty of notice if unable to make it
-
It is polite that even if you decide against the horse, to contact and let us know you’ve decided against the said horse
-
You understand horses are live animals with their own mind, not robots
-
I am happy for you to bring knowledgeable friends/instructors
-
I always recommend lessons, especially for novice riders and new partnerships
-
If you have been out of the saddle for some time - go for some lessons to get the feel back before attending viewings
-
If you have not ridden for a period of time please get yourself back in the saddle before viewing horses
-
I am not an instructor, I can help but there is limits & I feel this is beyond what is expected of me
-
My horses are NOT riding school horses, it isn’t fair for me to ask them to cope with people who haven’t ridden in years during a viewing, no matter the type of horse
-
Please go get yourself a few lessons beforehand as we lose the feel & balance with time out of the saddle.
I do apologise if any of the above comes across harsh, or like I’m stating common sense.
