The local farm vet is Walhalla Vet Clinic, and owner, Dr. Oliver has bought 2 horses for his kids from us :) I also use Dr. Stan Brown (AMAZING!) from Washington Ga. Yeah, he bought his horse from us too. I also use Kim Parker, www.kimparkerdvm.com Yeah, she bought 2 horses from us for her kids :) DEPOSITS: If you are seriously interested in one of our horses, you may want to be prepared to make a deposit upon your visit to ensure the horse is not sold prior to arrangements for purchase being made. It is also normal procedure for buyers to send a deposit prior to their long distance visit to ensure the horse will not be sold before they can come. We do not know how long a horse will be available and for this reason we regret that we cannot hold any of our horses or give preference to any buyer without a deposit. Deposits are $500 for a horse priced upto $5000, and 10% of advertised price for any horse priced over $5000. A deposit will entitle the buyer to right of first refusal of the horse for a period of time not to exceed 5 days. Once the deposit is made, the horse will not be sold to another buyer for the agreed time period, allowing enough time for arrangements for a visit, vetting and/or purchase to be made. Deposits can be made by check, cashier’s check, wire transfer, or cash. All deposits are non-refundable; however if you determine for any reason the horse is not for you, you may use the deposit towards the purchase of any other horse within 6 months. PRE-PURCHASE EXAMINATIONS: We welcome an optional veterinary examination on any of our horses prior to purchase. This may be performed by a veterinarian of the buyer’s choice and may be as thorough as desired. All costs associated with the pre-purchase exam are the buyer’s responsibility. Several Clients have used Keith Stafford for pre-purchase exams, He is mobile and has digital xrays. He is the farm vets for such farms as: Stone Ridge Equestrian Center, Cliffs of Keowee Equestrian Center, Twin Tree, etc. Clients have also used Garrison Vet of Anderson SC, BiBi Freer in Columbus NC, Cross Roads Animal Hospital of Seneca SC and Apple Valley of Hendersonville NC. TRIAL PERIODS: For our horses' safety, none of our horses are available for trial. However prospective approved buyers are welcome to make as several visits to try the horse or take lessons on the horse. Also, it may be possible to make arrangments for a serious buyer to try the horse at different facilities to further ascertain its suitability. PAYMENT: Payment is accepted via cash, local cashier’s check, and bank/wire transfer. Personal checks and out-of-state cashiers checks are accepted and will result in up to a 15 day hold on taking delivery of the horse/trailer, just until the check clears. No horse/trailer will be allowed to leave the farm until paid for in full, with no exception. No horse will be allowed to leave the farm until paid for in full, with no exception. Upon receipt of payment, ownership transfers to buyer, as does all risk of loss, injury, and any related vet expenses, etc. TRANSPORTATION: We can provide horse transportation if previously arranged. Contact us for a hauling quote. Otherwise, we can provide names of reputable shippers for local and long distance hauling. We recommend Lone Star Transport Rodney & Brandy Wilbanks 706-202-4365 GUARANTEES: Our horses, saddles, and trailers are sold as-is with no warranties or guaranties expressed or implied. All sales are final. All horses we represent for sale are self-owned. We regret that in fairness we cannot be responsible for a horse’s condition once it has left our premises. A veterinary exam is welcomed to determine the horse’s present condition and its current fitness for a particular purpose. Due to our concern for everyone’s best interest, please note that we reserve the right to refuse sale to anyone if we feel it is not the right home or match. Thanks for looking. Let us help you find the horse of your dreams. |
