IMPORTANT NOTICE
We are always happy to show our horses to genuine prospective buyers and always do our best to accommodate viewing requests.
Unfortunately, we've had several viewings cancelled at short notice recently. As viewings take up a significant amount of time and can prevent us from offering appointments to other serious buyers, we will now be introducing a €50/£50 viewing deposit.
This deposit will be deducted from the purchase price of any horse bought, or refunded if, after viewing, the horse is not suitable. Deposits will only be retained in the event of a cancellation with less than 24 hours notice or if a prospective buyer fails to attend their scheduled viewing without notice.
We hope everyone understands that this is simply to ensure viewing slots are reserved for genuinely interested buyers and to help us manage our time fairly.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
