Buyers Guide

ALL INTERESTED BUYERS PLEASE READ:

Majestic Mounts Stables offers a wide range of quality, versatile horses from various disciplines and backgrounds. It is our goal to match each horse with the most suitable owner. We spend a lot of time working with our horses, and talking to perspective buyers, to make the buying process as seamless as possible. Our horses have become increasingly popular, and to be fair to all interested buyers, we put together a few things that we encourage everyone to read.

Coming to Try a Horse

Our horses go through many different situations and go many places while in our program to see what disciplines and types of programs they are best suited for.With that said, regardless of how well we know each horse, it’s impossible for us to know how a horse will be with a new rider. When you try one of our horses here before buying, we both get to see how suitable the match is. Appointments can be made Monday-Friday, and we always welcome your trainer to come along. Horses are available for purchase (sight-unseen or vet and ship)  at any point once listed.

Buying Sight Unseen

We understand that not everyone can come to our stables in person, which is why we put so much time into our videos and descriptions. The majority of our horses do end up being purchased by customers off of video.This is not an uncommon process for us, and we are more than happy to walk you through it to make your purchase a simple and stress free experience. In this case, we love to hear from you and your trainer, if you have one, and take the time to chat about the process and what you’re looking for in your next equine partner. The more we can learn about your riding abilities, experience, and goals with your horse, the more we can help ensure a good match.

Vet Checks

We always encourage vet checks.

Some horses have basic exams done already, but you are always welcome to have additional exams performed by a vet of your choosing. We only allow horses in our program that come from reputable backgrounds. That being said, we always encourage clients to do whatever they need to feel comfortable with their purchase. We take pride in representing our horses truthfully in our ads and will always disclose any maintenance, vices, or limitations if they have any.

 

Deposits/ Holding A Horse

If you want us to hold a horse, you have the option to put down a $1000 nonrefundable deposit. 

Your deposit goes toward the purchase price of the horse.

- Deposits are NON REFUNDABLE

-Deposits hold the horse for 5 days only. After that period the horse will be available to the public again. The deposit is nonrefundable because our horses sell fairly quickly and taking them off the market forces us to turn down other buyers. This is the only way to be fair to all interested parties. Otherwise all horses are available on a first come, first serve basis. Without a deposit the horse will continue to be shown and advertised, even if you have an appointment to come see them. 

Are Deposits Transferrable?

​Generally speaking, no. The reason why we recommend a deposit is because of how quickly our horses sell or go under deposit for a vet check. If you place a deposit to try one horse, hoping to see the three others that are listed on our site, chances are they will be sold or unavailable by your arrival. We cannot keep a deposit on hold for a future horse for you. Some horses sell within minutes of being listed, others sell a week later, and some even sell off of just a "Sneak Peek" video or photo. To keep things simple, your deposit is to hold one specific horse for you for the 5 days allotted. 

We do not allow trials, leases, or payment plans on any of our horses.

You are welcome to come out to our farm, by appointment to ride. You are welcome, and encouraged, to bring your trainer along to give you a lesson. Clients can also come try the horse on their own, and we are happy to take you out on a hack or trail ride if you’d like. Off property trials are not an option. We do not offer leases or lease to purchase on any of our horses.

 

Shipping

We can always help with arranging shipping for your horse. Generally, we can ship the horse with one of our in house shippers if you are within a 500 mile radius of our farm. For those outside of that area we can recommend many reputable shipping companies and private shippers who frequent your area or state. Unless we have previously agreed upon it, shipping is NOT included in the sale price. 

Payment & Next Steps

We accept a few forms of payment including: wire transfers, cash, credit cards, venmo, and PayPal. The most common, and easiest form of payment is a wire transfer. For those using credit cards, there is a 3% fee that will be applied. Horses cannot leave our farm until they are paid in full and payment is cleared.

Horses are welcome to stay at our farm as long as one month after purchase. Horses MUST be fully insured by you if they are staying on our property once they are purchased. A fee of $35/day for basic board (no riding) and $55/day training board (rides 5 days a week until shipping) is applied to all horses being kept at our farm waiting shipping after the first 5 days. 

Bringing Your Horse Home  

Taking a horse out of their home environment can be stressful, even the quietest horses can take time to adjust to their new people and homes. We ALWAYS recommend being prepared by having a course of GastroGuard on hand for your horses arrival to help their stomachs stay settled. Even short trailer rides and slight changes in environment can cause an upset stomach or ulcers in horses. Taking this step to prepare and prevent is one small thing you can do to ensure a more seamless transition from our barn to yours. 

 Keeping your new horse free of ulcers in and after travel is an easy way to keep your horse happy and healthy! 

If you would like us to begin treatment prior to shipping, please let us know! We do not charge extra for this service, however we do ask you to pay for the medication ( $45 per tube )
