We take in your horse and board them here while doing some tune up horse training so we can best find the right way to sell your horse.  You pay to board your horse while it is at our farm.  We will not sell a horse that we do not know so we can help guarantee them to their new owners.  We ask you rbing your horse here so we can show them as we are only a few minutes away from the airport and from Spokane. 

 

If we work your horses here too then you agree in a contract to board the horse for at least two months with us and you pay for all costs relating to the horses care at the beginning of each month like trims, worming and shoeing, shots, transportation (if you want us to show your horse locally or regionally), horse show costs like entry fees, etc.  We will do tune up training for free until the horse is sold hence the commission at the time of the sale. 

 

That tune up training means working your horse an average of once a week.  If you want full-time training on your horse especially with a horse with no or very little training before we meet then the full cost is $600 a month plus other care and transportation.  If your horse is a wild thing and mostly unworked then we will not be able to sell them for you.

 

People are looking for broke, sweet Morgan horses under $6,000.  We can not really sell an unhandled or wild horse.

 

We will all agree on the final selling price so you know what we think your horse is worth.  You can bring the horse to us or we can come to you for a test drive too. 

 

After we sell your horse then we are paid a 25% commission on the final sales price when the horse is sold for you.  If we do not sell the horse then you do not pay that commission price only the boarding, and that includes some free training and photos to go home with you to continue marketing your horse.

 

We also will take all the marketing photos and videos and we start the marketing process online and networking with those we know are looking for broke horses. 

 

Expenses you will need to pay:  You will also need pay for any paid ads on web sites or local advertising plus postage for mailing photos and videos as well as long distance calls, but we will agree on all those expenses in advance.  

 

We will meet and greet the public at our farm when they come to take your horse for a test drive here.  We are the horse trainers in the sale especially if you do not have time meet people during work hours.  We work horses at home so folks can come here almost any time to meet your horses.

 

We only market and sell about five to 10 Morgan horses a year so if you are interested in our services then we will start that sales process in May for you.  You bring the horse to our farm to get started and then you pay us to haul the horse to local events like horse shows or horse sales like our Fourth Annual Stallion Showcase and Horse Sale if they come here in April.  This event is not an auction, but a private treaty horse sale that we started to help others sell their horses too.  And we kick off the summer horse sales season at this event we founded and manage each year.  To see more on that horse open house: http://www.spokanehorsesale.com 

 

The Morgan marketing will also be on a minimum of 20 of the best horse sales web sites.  Most of those sites are free and we will add your horses, but if they are a paid photo or video ad then you will agree to those expenses to place photos or we will just place a free ad with us as the contact.  No bills will be sent that you are not aware of the costs up front and you decide how much you want to invest in the sale of your horse.

 

Again, if we do not sell your horse in two to three months then all the photos we took are yours to keep to help you continue marketing your horse on your own.  But after 40 years in Morgans as trainers we really do know who is looking for what type of horse for sale and will price and market the horse best suited for your horse's personality and division in the show ring or as a breeding horse or trail horse. 

 

We only live about 10 minutes from the local airport and only a few turns to see the horses for sale in person.  And we live only 15 minutes from Spokane so folks come out to meet the horses here before buying and will spend as much time needed to answer all their questions too.

 

If we can set the final price on your Morgan with you then we can guarantee that we can sell your horse.  Now and then folks over price their horses and we can't get them sold.  That is rare, but it does happen especially if the horses have no previous training, does not have correct halter conformation, never been off the farm or have never been in a horse show ring or are without sought after bloodlines or the latest desired colors or no foals on the ground.  All those factors will play a part when we help set a price for your horse.

 

We find horses will sell better once people can see them in person and we will be happy to take your horse off the farm to events at least once a month if you are not capable of doing this yourself if you pay those expenses.  Hiding horses on the farm is not the best way to sell any horses especially the charming Morgan breed. 

 

And with us placing ads on the Internet is always great, but again we want to meet the new owners to make sure that they will provide a good home for your horse.  We are not horse dealers and all sales to horse buyers go to those homes that can afford to own a horse so we have all prospective buyers meet the horses in person if possible.

 

Once your horse is sold then we also assist in finding a shipper if needed, schedule and meet with the brand inspector as needed, the Coggins and health certificate from the vet, a prepurchase exam from the vet, all the paperwork is in order so the horse can traval and be sold as a registered Morgans and any follow-up as needed.
