We gotta have the "tire kicker" convo... again!
There's a big difference between being a thoughtful, educated buyer and someone who simply enjoys shopping with no real intention of purchasing.
As sellers who genuinely love our horses, and we sure do, we WANT questions! We welcome conversation, messages, calls, and encourage research, and appreciate buyers who take the responsibility of horse ownership seriously. But there's something worth remembering. Behind every horse advertisement is a living, breathing animal we're working hard to find the right home for. And behind every answered message, additional video, photo request, and lengthy convo is someone's valuable time.
When hours are spent entertaining inquiries that were never serious to begin with, that time is taken away from caring for our horses, working with serious buyers, and potentially helping that horse find its forever family. We're not asking anyone to rush into purchasing a horse. Quite the opposite! We want confident, informed decisions and lasting matches between horses and owners, and that is what we screen for through conversation.
All we ask is the same consideration and honesty we strive to give every potential buyer. Be upfront about your intentions, budget, and timeline. At the end of the day, our goal isn't simply to SELL a horse to just anyone. It's to find that horse the RIGHT, great, loving, fitting home. ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
While we genuinely enjoy sharing our horses with others, our time has value, too. A little mutual respect goes a long way in making the buying experience better for everyone, especially the horses. Your curiosity might be casual, but that horse's future isn't.
