Terms &
Conditions:
Deposits (horses 4 month of
age and older) - non-refundable:
We can hold a horse with a 50%
deposit for up to 2 weeks free of extra charge, for up to 3 month for US$200
to $320/month board&feed (depending on location and season) unless otherwise
agreed. The deposit will be refunded if the horse was grossly misrepresented.
Deposits (weanlings) - non-refundable:
We hold
a foal with a 50% deposit until pick up or weaning (October 31st the latest).
The deposit will be
refunded if the foal is not sound, healthy and correct at the day of pick
up or weaning, whichever comes first.
Weanlings can stay with their dam free of charge until end of October
of their birth year or until they are at least 4 month old. Boarding fees
(US$200 to $320/month board&feed depending on location and season) apply
November 1st on. Weanlings have to be paid for in full by October 31st, any
and all responsibility for the weanling goes over to the buyer at that time.
We have two openings
for the winter season 2026/27 for weanlings that includes basic halter training,
daily handling, de-worming schedule, shelter with pasture access, minerals,
supplements, high quality grain and hay, heated water, and wellness checks
several times a day. Minimum stay is four month, $320/month/weanling.
Payment Methods:
We accept personal checks, paypal,
and zelle for deposits. We start to hold with a deposit in hand. For assurance
when sending a check per mail we appreciate a picture and/or tracking number.
We accept cashiers checks, money orders, or cash for rest payments at the
day pick up. If you use a shipper we can also accept personal checks, paypal,
and zelle, but they have to clear the bank before the horse can leave the
ranch.
We make out a bill of sale when we received the deposit, with a description
of the horse, dead lines, and guarantees given to the soundness of the horse.
Soundness guarantee (horses
4 month of age and older):
We guarantee every horse sound
(based on: sight out of both eyes, good air, hit the ground on all four and
not to crib). This soundness guarantee will apply only to problems existing
prior to sale time and not to problems caused after the sale. Horses boarded
with us after purchase are considered property of the buyer/new owner and
thus any health issues are the responsibility of the buyer at that point.
The buyer has 14 days to have the
horse vet checked and return the horse to the seller for a full money back
refund. The vet check must specify the "unsoundness" of the horse in writing.
Soundness guarantee (foals sold
before weaning):
The deposit will be refunded if
the foal gets injured or developes any health issues before weaning or pick-up,
whichever comes first. The responsibility goes over to the buyer on October
31st if not picked up by then. The buyer has then 14 days to have the horse
vet checked and return the horse to the seller for a full money back refund.
The vet check must specify the "unsoundness" of the horse in writing.
Travel Papers:
A brand Inspection will be
provided where applicable at our expense. The buyer is responsible
for shipping arrangements and coggins test or health certificates if needed.
We can schedule a veterinarian
in October to come to the ranch once for all weanlings, but we are too far
off the beaten path to have a vet come for only one horse to the ranch. We
may be able to discuss arrangements to take a broke horse to the vet or
have a weanling moved to a more accessible location - please inquire beforehand.
Shipping:
Unfortunately we can not deliver
horses, but if you are interested in estimated shipping costs we recommend
the website
uShip.com
that offers shipping services. Our zip code is 82720 (Hulett,
WY) for looking up shipping quotes. Zip code 57744 for the foals located in
Rapid City, SD. In average you are looking at $1.25 per loaded mile for distances
above 500 miles, and about $1.50 for distances less than 500 miles, with
a licensed shipping company.
We may be able to deliver your
foal to you within 300 miles, but won't be able to compete with shipping company
prices.
Weanlings can not be picked up
after November 1st in certain locations due to wintery conditions. We prefer
pick up dates mid to end of October. Please discuss shipping dates with
us before hiring a commercial shipper.
Registrations:
All Quarter Horse foals come with
a certificate of registration and signed transfer report from AQHA unless
otherwise noted.
Due to AQHA being notoriously overworked
please be patient and expect a bit of a delay until the certificates reach
you.
