Horse Sales Policy
Purchasing or selling a horse is a major decision. It can be a decision made in haste or one with an extended period of indecision. When Fadeaway Farm sells a horse to a buyer, we look to provide a reasonable period of due diligence while acknowledging that a good horse could have many potential buyers. Therefore, we operate on a first come first serve basis. The horses we sell are available for sale until they are paid for in full.
If a pre-purchase exam is desired it should be set up for a scheduled day and time by the buyer. The horse will be reserved until the pre-purchase exam is completed if deposit is applied. A non-refundable deposit of $200 is required at the time the pre-purchase exam is scheduled to hold the horse for the buyer through completion of the pre-purchase exam. We will not sell the horse to another buyer before you have had the opportunity to complete your pre-purchase exam.
If you decide on moving forward with purchasing the horse, the deposit will be applied to the purchase price. This is a non-refundable deposit, so in the event you decide not to proceed with purchasing the horse, for any reason, it will not be returned. The potential buyer will have up to 2 business days to decide if you are proceeding with the purchase after the completion of the pre-purchase exam. An extension for bloodwork and drug screening will be allowed as that can take 4-5 business days to receive results.
You may choose not to put down a non-refundable deposit, however, that means we will not reserve the horse and another potential buyer could decide to purchase the horse outright before your pre-purchase exam is completed.
We do not permit horses to go out for trial periods, but you are more than welcome to test ride as many times as you like until the horse is purchased by you or another buyer.
Setting up a Pre-Purchase Exam: We recommend Allegheny Equine and Fox Run Equine for scheduling pre-purchase exams. Both practices do not provide any routine work for us, thus removing the potential for a conflict of interest.
Allegheny Equine Vet Services 724-325-4615
Fox Run Equine 724-727-3481
Transportation: We will transport a purchased horse within a 2–4-hour range of Butler PA 16002 for a fee. An alternate or private carrier is welcome to transport the horse as well. Fadeaway Farm will hold the horse for 5 calendar days at no cost while shipping is arranged. However, after the 5th calendar day, boarding fees will be charged at $35 a day until the horse is picked up.
Form of Payment: Cash, Certified check, or money wire.
