CONSULTATION SERVICES
This is a personalized horse buying service, that allows you to utilize my years of buying experience. Finding your dream horse can go from fun to frustrating real quick. You can spend endless hours of searching online, messaging buyers, and traveling to various locations. Often what you thought was going to be the perfect horse, turns out to be three inches shorter and ten years older than advertised. Oh yeah, and it bucks sometimes.
I’ll speak with the sellers, and weed out the garbage. I know what questions need to be asked, and what red flags to look for. I’ll travel to the horse, and evaluate them on the ground and under saddle. Movement, confirmation, disposition are all things taken into consideration. Pictures and video will be sent to you during process. I can also arrange Vet exams and transportation if needed.
FEES
$500 per day to evaluate one to multiple horses. Any travel and hotel fees are also to be covered by you.
