Concierge Horsematching & Evaluations
So, what do I actually do?
If you’re looking for your next horse and feel completely overwhelmed, don’t know where to start, or simply don’t have the time, that’s where I come in!
Horsematching
Included in Horsematching Services you get:
30 min-1 hr session over the phone, in person, or over video chat platform! This helps me get to know you, your wants and needs, your goals, and history with horses!
I handle all pre-communication with sellers while sifting through scams, scammers, horse traders and auction flippers!
Evaluation of horses that fit potential candidacy on the bases of personality, vices, training, maintenance, prior injury history etc.
Video and photo evaluations! I personally review and dissect videos and photos of potential equine candidates, then send them to you along with my own pros/cons list if they fit your needs!
Evaluations
Not sure whether a potential horse will fit your needs? Need a second set of unbiased eyes? That’s where I come in! I offer evaluations even if you did not use my services to find the prospects! This can be done virtually with videos and photos or in person.
Pricing
What you pay is based on the amount you are wanting to spend on your new equine partner! My fees are separate from your purchase price range.
Evaluations of prospects separate from concierge services are a Flat Rate dependent upon whether I am evaluating virtually or in person!
| Purchase Price Range: | Flat Fee: |
| $10,000-15,000 | 500 |
| $6,000-9,000 | 350 |
| $3,000-5,000 | 250 |
| $1500 or less | 150 |
What is your role as the client?
- Arrange, schedule, and pay for PPE’s if you choose to have them done (which I highly recommend but don’t require)
- Follow quarantine guidelines according to your boarding facilities, as you choose to do, (or choose not to do) for your own property
- Arrange pickup/hauling of the purchased horse(s)
- Be honest about your wants and needs!
Expectations and disappointment go hand in hand so let’s clarify some here!
- Time and timeframes: This endeavor is based on market, prices, and availability, all of which fluctuate with times, seasons and the economy. There is not a way to guarantee a timeline or time frame of completion of this search. These searches can take as little as 2 weeks and as long as 6 months. If you want to set a specific time frame to find your equine match, for example, limit it to 3 months, make sure to let me know during our session!
- Travel and The “Click Factor:” I’m a firm believer that a horse can check all the boxes but the person and the horse still just might not “click.” This can only be determined through an in-person visit. Travel can be included in my services, and many people have bought horses through just video and PPE’s being absolutely satisfied with their new partners! Make sure to let me know how much travel you want to do, if any, during our session!
- Response Times: As results become available that fit your criteria, I will forward them on to you, but sometimes there will be lulls in findings. I make it a point to communicate any updates and check in weekly. Clients are welcome to contact me at any point with questions, search modifications, or horses you come upon that you’d like me to evaluate!
- Perfection: No human is perfect, and as such, no horse is perfect. But there is such a thing as a good fit, and a not so good fit. We see this play out in personal relationships all the time. Just as each of those relationships take time and effort to succeed, so do our equine partnerships. What can you live with? What can you work with? What do you want to work on, or not? All these we can discuss during our session!
Disclaimer(s)
I am not a vet or your riding instructor and don’t intend to take the place of either. I do ask that clients be honest and open about their riding or driving abilities involving horses!
I am not responsible for things a vet does not find, health issues or damages caused by improper quarantine methods, improper herd introductory methods, training limits of the horse(s), life changes or buyer’s remorse. I will be absolutely honest about what I see in a horse and how far along they are in their training, as well as any “holes” in their training I see, and any potential training opportunities the horse might need if you choose to take them on.
My searches are limited to US only, I do not search for horses outside of or take on clients outside of the US at this time.
