Veterinary inspection’s must take place within 7 working days from the deposit being received, unless otherwise agreed. By failing the veterinary inspection this means that the vet has advised the purchaser that the horse is not suitable for the job they are intending. This would need to be proved by the veterinary report itself.

Purchaser, the Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Seller against all costs incurred in caring for the

that the Horse has the best opportunity of settling into his new home.

This will be a horse sold on behalf of a client and this will be stated on the advert of the horse.

If a horse gets injured and requires veterinary treatment the client must pay. We will list all horses on our social media platforms along with our website (we have a huge following of over 10k) free of charge, any other advertising eg HorseQuest will be charged to the owner
