In the long run, everyone who practices a certain form of sports wants his/her own material. With most sports disciplines, quality and price are easily assessed. When purchasing a horse, this is a bit more difficult because you’re dealing with a living being. What is the ideal horse for you? Together with you, we from Stal ’t Proosdijhof incessantly look for a horse that fits your wishes, character and riding skills the best. An important fact: the wrong choice not only damages the rider, but also the horse.
Even after having taken the decision as to which of our horses fits you best, we work with clear and straightforward purchasing procedures that make all parties involved feel good. What follows is a short explanation of our approach:
STEP 1
Sales agreement: when the purchase has been decided, we make up a standard sales agreement which mentions your contact details, full details of the horse, and also our contact details. The price, mentioned in this document, will be the binding purchasing price, 6% tax included. The sales agreement is binding but is still subject to a positive clinical examination of the horse.
STEP 2
Deposit: every client is requested to pay a deposit of 25% of the purchasing price. This can be done in cash on the moment of purchase, or via bank transfer (Fintro 143-0779509-21). If the sale is canceled because of a negative veterinarian examination report, the deposit will be paid back correctly.
STEP 3
Veterinarian examination report: all horses sold at Stal ‘t Proosdijhof are subjected (again) to some clinical testing. You can request an examination by x-ray as well. However, the costs (350€) are at the charge of the purchaser (to be requested when signing the sales agreement). A positive advice of the veterinarian is binding for the sale.
STAP 4
Delivery: After receiving your payment, your horse can leave to you, the new owner. All horses are delivered by our services. Free delivery is provided in Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands, Luxemburg and France. Several countries have special import and export requirements for horses (e.g. blood tests, health certificate, etc…) If this should be the case, we from Stal ‘t Proosdijhof can supply all required documents in order to deliver your horse ‘safe and sound’ at its destination. Our partners belong to the top when it comes to specialized road and plane transportation for horses.
IMPORTANT
!!! All horses, sold by Stal ’t Proosdijhof, receive a warranty period of 6 months in case of hidden defaults !!!
