FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What Kind of training does your horses have
Most of our geldings are started on a ranch. They get many miles with wet saddle blankets and have a very solid foundation before they even come to us. We get the horses with the dispositions that we’re looking
for that will make great family or beginner horses. Once they arrive here, we work them through a thorough desensitizing program which includes: tarps, flags, atv’s, on the road in traffic, water, loading & unloading, arena and round pen work, bareback, clippers, cross
ties, and much more. We try and cover anything the horse might see in a busy family and barn setting. Some of these horses come in and breeze right through and test out immediately on the things we expect our horses to do, and some require differing levels of additional training. Of course if there are specific things you plan on doing with the horse,
we will be happy to work on those while it’s waiting to ship. If there are specific things you would like to see video of that we haven’t already shown, just let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
Once i decided on a horse that i want, what’s the process?
Once you’ve decided on a horse or pony, we have a Sale Agreement that we will email to you to sign and return. We prefer and most of our customers send a bank wire for payment. It’s just as easy and secure as a check, but it speeds the process along and allows us to get shipping scheduled faster rather than waiting on an out-of-state check to clear. Once we’ve received the payment, we will email you a sales receipt.
I don’t have much experiences on a horse, will i be safe?
Safety is our main goal. We try and help people minimize their risks in
what is normally considered a dangerous activity. While our horses are among the safest out there from the standpoint of ground manners, being desensitized to certain stimuli, and disposition, they still are large animals with a mind of their own. Horse ownership involves a lot of responsibility on the part of the owner. For example, not knowing how to properly lead a horse could result in getting a foot stepped on, or cantering without developing good balance first could result in a fall, standing behind a horse is never a good idea and you could get kicked if a horse is kicking at another horse or startled. Any horse is capable of hurting someone, by owning and riding horses, you should know that you are assuming some risks. We are not guaranteeing that you won’t get hurt on one of our horses. Even a solid dependable horse can buck on rare occasions, any horse can bite, and any horse can kick in certain
circumstances. These are all things that can come from their natural,
instinctual desire for self-preservation. You MUST do your part to educate yourself and be a responsible horse owner and rider too.
