Frequently Asked Questions

Bring your own helmet and saddle and plan on viewing a demonstration and then riding the horse of your interest in a controlled and supervised environment. We encourage you to come back a number of times to ride and make sure you are making the best decision possible.

There are many reasons why one horse would be more expensive than another including breed, pedigree, age, confirmation and skill set. Certain breeds are more valuable than others. A good horse will generally breed a good foal so starting with an excellent pedigree is a crucial ingredient. Each living year adds to the expense of a well-bred horse from birth until it's reached it's peak performance years. A two year old will generally cost less than the same five year old, and that cost will go up depending on the training, performance record and condition of the horse. A horse bred to have excellent confirmation will cost a little more upfront but will be a better long-term investment from a physical and soundness perspective.

Once you have chosen a horse, deciding whether to have a PPE (Pre Purchase Exam) done and to what extent is usually the next step. This decision depends on your plans with the horse; if you are buying a companion horse, you won't want to spend any money on a PPE. If you have Olympic dreams, you will want a reasonably extensive PPE, including multiple X-rays.

Our typical client will be between these extremes and schedule a basic PPE with a few images. At the buyer's expense, the cost can range between $500 and $2,000, depending on the extent of the exam. The basics will cover the horse's soundness and overall health. If you choose to have X-rays done, the number of images will increase the cost of the PPE.

The results of the PPE should be discussed in detail with your vet, as many horses will have some imperfections. Your task will be to determine if those imperfections will affect your ability to accomplish what you want with your new mount. Getting proper guidance from your vet is paramount in making the right decision.
