Don't Buy Or Sell A Horse Before Reading This
Author : Josie Amani
Buying or selling a horse is infinitely more complicated than buying a smaller pet such as a cat or dog. There are legal implications and responsibilities you should be aware of. Never attempt to buy a horse unless you are knowledgeable or you have an experienced person with you.
The type of horse you buy should suit your riding experience and needs, it's illogical to buy a Grand Prix show jumper if you're just learning to ride, but you should also try to buy a horse that will grow with you, for example if your ambitions extend beyond casual hacking or leisurely riding then you should buy a horse with potential for further training.
Caveat emptor (or let the buyer beware) definitely applies when it comes to buying and selling horses. In most countries, it's up to the buyer to notice and check for any potential issues in the horse; the seller isn't required to disclose known conditions, vices or defects except under certain conditions.
Depending largely on the seller's sense of honesty, he or she may reveal information about the horse if the sales contract requires them to do so, if you ask a direct question about a defect, or you mention the use the horse will be put to and the seller knows for a fact that the horse is unsuitable for that purpose.
It is solely up to you to investigate before buying, this is why it's important to take someone who is knowledgeable with you. Ask pertinent questions about the horse and make sure the seller knows what you want the horse for; make sure you have the horse vetted and check its pedigree and competition records if possible.
Selling a horse also requires some insight. Deciding to sell your horse can be a difficult time especially if you're concerned about the horse going to a good home. Your horse will need to be accessed as accurately as possible and any training you horse has had will add to its value. If the horse has any vices or issues you should try to resolve them before attempting to sell the horse as they will decrease its value.
Selling a horse requires time and patience, you will need to advertise efficiently and be available to show the horse to potential buyers. First impressions go a long way so you should ensure that your horse is always smartly turned out when presented to an interested party. Hiring a reputable trainer to retrain your horse can greatly increase its value.
