Some necessary changes and policies are starting immediately regarding horse care and consignment:
-Any horse sent to TNA stables to be sold for an owner, or a client for a profit, will have a day rate of $35 per day for care of horse. This is the rate that covers the daily maintenance and care of the horse. THIS DAY RATE IS SEPERATE FROM THE COMMISSION PAID WHEN THE HORSE SELLS, which is 12% of sale price. The commission covers the listing, advertising,
-Any horse coming to TNA stables for layup/basic board is $25-$35 a day. (Depending on reason for layup IE surgical care/extra maintenance required reason) This DOES NOT include any vet equipment/vet care required by a vet, supplements, or farrier care. It DOES include basic care and ensuring your horse is happy and healthy as an injuries/issues addressed appropriately.
-rehabilitation/training/conditioning board is $40-$45 a day. That includes riding, care, stall, supplements conditioning ect. Vet care required by a vet, farrier care, are not included.
- Any horse sent on a commission sale will need to have dayrate satisfied prior to being paid for sale of horse. If the board is not satisfied IT WILL be taken out of price of horse, along with the commission. This is not negotiable anymore. Anything staying longer than 31 days will need pay the day rate by day 40 or a late fee of $2.50 per day missed will be added.
- If you do not wish to be paid electronically for the sale of your horse, and request a personal check via snail mail, IT CAN take UP TO 30 days to receive your check. Electronic is fast, and cheap, and the preferred method of payments to get you your money faster.
-If you do not DISCLOSE injuries prior to sending horse to me to sell, so I can full disclosure it to potential buyers, and that horse requires medical care, farrier care, and is in no condition to be sold, your day rate will become a rehabilitation rate board and the horse will not be sold until the injuries are handled accordingly. You will absolutely have the option to take the horse back. If the bill is not paid within 30 days, and the horse is not picked up, or vet care/farrier care is addressed and given, the horse will become property of TNA Stables. We do not take abandonment lightly, and will no longer be funding or fronting the care of horses who are being dumped by people. We can and will find homes for horses who need it regardless of “conditions” they may or may not have, but if you as the owner, do not wish to properly supply the knowledge of injuries, or the funds to assist in caring for the horse for the best interest of the horse, we will gladly take over horse ownership with a bill of sale, and address the issues it may have on our dime.
- Mare care for breeding/foaling out is $40-$45 a day. There will be no extra day rate costs aside from your vet bills. Feet Trims are included, if horse requires shoes, that will be an extra cost.
- Day rate for mares coming to breed to Ali or Lord of Greatness is $30 a day.
-If trailering is required for anything, or you need shipping, payment is due at time of service. No exceptions. I have 3 people that are non payers for shipping so far, that is unacceptable.
2024 was the year of lessons learned. Many people took my kind heart and drive to “do right” for granted and myself and my family were taken advantage of and made to look like fools in situations that should not have happened. We lost a substantial amount of money due to owners not wanting or able to afford their horses and placing that burden on our family to do it. Horses cost a lot of money, and the care of horses take a lot of work. Prices are going up everywhere. If you don’t or can’t pay for the care of your horses that you proudly claim ownership of, or you nickle and dime the barn that is trying to take care of your horses, please communicate appropriately so something can be figured out so that ownership of your horses are not taken for non payment.
The horse world needs to come together to be successful because it is as it stands, falling apart.
