🐴 PICKUP POLICY

All horses purchased through the auction must be picked up or have transportation arranged by the buyer within 7 days of the auction closing, unless a different arrangement has been approved in writing.

🚛 Transportation

The buyer is responsible for arranging and paying for transportation.

Transportation costs are separate from the winning bid and are not included in the horse’s purchase price unless specifically stated in the individual listing.

The buyer may arrange their own licensed transporter or use a transporter recommended by the auction/seller.

💰 Payment Before Pickup

Full payment for the horse must be received and cleared before the horse is released.

No horse will leave the property until:

• The purchase price has been paid in full
• Payment has cleared
• Required sale paperwork has been completed
• Pickup/transport arrangements have been confirmed

📅 Scheduling Pickup

Buyers must contact the seller promptly after winning the auction to arrange a pickup date and time.

Pickup is by appointment only. Buyers and transporters should not arrive at the property without prior confirmation.

🐴 Horse Belongings

Any personal belongings, tack, blankets, or equipment specifically included with the horse will be made available at pickup as agreed upon in the individual listing.

🏠 Boarding After the 7-Day Period

If the horse cannot be picked up within 7 days, the buyer must contact the seller before the deadline.

Any approved extended stay may be subject to boarding, care, and related charges, which will be communicated to the buyer before the extension is approved.

⚠️ Buyer Responsibility

Once the horse has been released to the buyer or the buyer’s authorized transporter, responsibility for transportation and the horse’s care during transport rests with the buyer and/or transporter, subject to the applicable sale terms and law.

By placing a bid, bidders acknowledge and agree to the auction’s pickup policy and understand that transportation is the buyer’s responsibility and separate from the winning bid.

PAYMENT POLICY

All winning bids are considered final and binding.

Payment Deadline

The winning bidder is responsible for arranging payment promptly following the close of the auction. Full payment for the horse must be received before the horse leaves the seller’s property.

Accepted Payment

Payment methods will be confirmed with the winning bidder following the auction. Payment must be made in full before pickup or delivery.

Deposits

If a deposit is required, the amount and deadline will be stated in the individual horse listing or communicated to the winning bidder. Deposits are applied toward the final purchase price unless otherwise stated.

Transportation

Transportation is separate from the horse purchase price. Any transportation costs are the responsibility of the buyer and are paid directly to the transporter when applicable.

Pickup & Release

A horse will not be released to the buyer, transporter, or third party until full payment has cleared and all required sale paperwork has been completed.

Failure to Pay

If a winning bidder fails to complete payment within the required timeframe, the seller reserves the right to cancel the sale and pursue any remedies available under the applicable terms and law.

By participating in the auction, bidders acknowledge and agree to this payment policy and the individual terms listed with each horse.
