BASIC PURCHASE CONTRACT

 

If we are hired to find a horse for you to buy, the cost is 10% of the horse's purchase price.  We will search online, and also speak to our many contacts in the horse industry to find prospective horses.  We will talk with the horse's owner, trainer, or agent to get more information and to determine if it is appropriate to see and test the horse.  If we see the horse, the prospective buyer is highly encouraged to accompany us to see the horse and do a test-ride.  If the horse is a good match and we agree that we should make an offer to purchase the horse, we can arrange a pre-purchase veterinary check of the horse, to be paid by the prospective buyer.  Assuming the horse passes the vet check and an offer is accepted by the seller, we can also arrange for transport of the horse, the cost of which shall also be borne by the prospective buyer.  All travel expenses outside the local Los Angeles area shall be paid by the prospective buyer.

 

BASIC LEASE CONTRACT

 

The work that we do when looking for a lease horse is the same as what is done for the basic purchase contract.  The cost is 10% of the annual lease fee.  If there is no lease fee, the charge for finding a lease horse is $500.

 

BASIC SALES CONTRACT

 

Basic horse sales have a commission of 10% of the sales price.  We will take videos and photos to use for promoting the horse, and we will show your horse to prospective buyers.  The 10% commission also includes all free advertising online, including Facebook groups.  Any out-of-pocket expenses for advertising are not included.  Board, training, longeing, and turnouts are not included.  All other expenses (showing, trailering, supplements, shoeing, vet bills, etc.) will be paid by the owner as they are incurred.

 

FULL SALES/TRAINING CONTRACT

 

A “Full Sales Training” contract is for 90 days minimum and includes two to three training rides a week, as well as turn out, longeing, and eurosizer work.  Cost is $650 per month plus a 10% commission on the sales price of the horse.  The first two to four weeks will entail an in-depth assessment of the horse, so marketing can be more specifically targeted to a better audience.  After an assessment has been done, and we discuss with the owner how we feel the horse should be marketed (including price), we will advertise the horse for sale using photos and videos we create.  All online marketing is included in this price.  We will show the horse to all prospective buyers.  Our professional rider can show the horse in the types of shows we feel the horse is best suited for; all costs associated with showing the horse will be borne by the owner, except trainer day fees, which are included in the contract.  The following is not included in this contract:

 

--  Board

--  Shoeing

--  Any supplements, extra grain, medications, etc.

--  Veterinary bills

--  Tack purchases

--  Body clipping

--  All other expenses not specifically noted as covered in the agreement
