CONSIGNMENT HORSES

See our "About Us" page for more pictures of our facility!  A 22 stall barn located on 20 grassy acres!

On occasion, I will consider taking on a consignment horse on behalf of an owner who may not have the resources (time, space, etc) to continue to exercise or train the horse.

With this program, I hope to build a reputation of trust with BUYERS, that I offer HONEST representations of horses I advertise for sale in safety, usability, skill level, over all 'type', etc. therefore I do not work with horses that have any dangerous vices or serious health or lameness issues.

Depending on the horse there may be a minimum required stay; young green horses may be required to stay up to 3 months to gain marketable skills, while older horses simply needing exercising or tuning up may need only 1 month. During the horses stay with me, a web page with a photo and video presentation will be made, along with an honest written description and evaluation of the horse's physical traits, skills and disposition. Horses kept here for extended periods can be hauled out to shows, trails or other such events for experience. These services include my participation in presenting the horse to prospective buyers and being present during any pre-purchase vet/farrier exams. Horses MUST be evaluated to participate in this program - we will not work with horses who have dangerous vices / dispositions as we are marketing to family, amateur, novice and lower level riders/owners.

I will screen the horses I accept into this program, and I will only accept a limited number of horses at any given time. I want to develop a good reputation that the horses for sale here are 'exactly as described' and that buyer and seller have a good experience.
