Consignment

1. Description

Consignors must submit a detailed description of their horse. This description should highlight your horse’s best qualities, and include information about your horse’s temperament and training. Tell prospective buyers about your horse’s achievements, history, and pedigree.

Please mention any vices, scars, soundness issues, conformation deformities (club feet, parrot mouth, etc) spots in eyes, required maintenance, or unique habits (cribbing, weaving, etc) that your horse may have. No one wants to find out about these issues when they see their new horse for the first time. When these issues are mentioned beforehand, it ensures that buyers will be satisfied with their purchase, and represents your horse accurately. Failure to accurately describe your horse’s negative traits may result in a dissapointed buyer, who may pursue legal action against you.
