you either love them or you hate them, but a checklist is an essential part of all horse viewings. it is essential that you take a checklist of things to ask about the horse and make notes of what the seller says .
can i see the horse’s passport? ensure you see this and check it thoroughly before you go as far as making an offer to purchase .
will you disclose the horse’s veterinary history (a computer printout from the seller’s vet and any other vet who may have treated the horse e. g. a specialist vet) .
if the seller is not prepared to disclose the veterinary printout you should ask yourself why and not go ahead with purchase unless you are happy with the explanation .
if your new horse turns out to be different to the way he was described before purchase, the amount of research that you did before buying the horse, and whether you have a sale contract in place, will affect whether or not you have a legal right of recourse. this is when the checklist, complete with the handwritten recording of the answers given by the seller (ideally signed and dated by the seller), are extremely useful .
once the horse has been vetted, you can then arrange a sale agreement / contract which must be signed before payment is made. the sale agreement (a written agreement) needs to include :
a time limit within which a complaint must be made or the animal returned .
section 14 of the sale of goods act 1979 imposes implied terms of fitness for purpose and satisfactory quality where a horse has been sold in the course of business. it is important to note that for section 14 of the sale of goods act to apply. the seller must be selling in the course of business and must not be a private seller. in the event of a dispute these statutory terms can be relied upon by the purchaser .
if the seller is selling privately, the purchaser cannot rely on section 14 of the sale of goods act. in this situation the rule of caveat emptor (‘buyer beware’) applies and the purchaser must prove that the horse was not as described in accordance with section 13 of the sale of goods act and / or has been misrepresented to them by the seller. the buyer also has to prove that the representations were relied upon by the buyer in deciding to buy the horse. where the purchaser is unable to prove a breach of section 13 of the sale of goods act or misrepresentation there will be no comeback over undiscovered problems or vices unless the purchaser has an express agreement with the seller .
horse prices usually run into thousands of pounds, yet purchasers are still handing over large sums of money without obtaining a sale agreement, the price of which is very inexpensive in comparison to the price of an average horse .
insist upon having a written purchase agreement, which should fully detail how the horse has been described to you .
always view a horse prior to purchase. it is almost impossible to assess whether a horse is suitable for you unless you have seen and tried it .
if possible try the horse more than once. go with an experienced friend or trainer. do as much with the horse as you can. if you want him to jump then ask to jump the horse; if the horse is to hack, ask to hack him out alone and in company .
have rider insurance cover to protect you in the event of an accident for provides personal accident, emergency vets’ fees and third party liability cover in respect of any horse you ride .
have the horse vetted and go to the vetting so that you can discuss the vet’s findings as they go along. tell the vet what you are purchasing the horse to do and ask the vet to confirm how the horse has behaved at the vetting (if you are unable to attend) .
if you buy a horse from a trader / dealer unseen, if you are a consumer then you are protected by the distance selling regulations and so can return the horse for any reason within 7 days of delivery. this only applies to a sale from a trader / dealer to a consumer and the horse must have been purchased unseen .

many owners and vets assume that the insurance company must be contacted to give their permission before a horse is destroyed by a vet. this is not always necessary .
that the insured horse sustains an injury or manifests an illness or disease that is so severe as to warrant immediate destruction to relieve incurable and excessive pain and that no other options of treatment are available to that horse at that time .
this means that if a vet feels that a horse should be destroyed immediately on humane grounds, they should not delay proceedings by contacting the insurance company. if, however, effective first aid treatment can be given, every effort should be made to notify the insurer that destruction may be necessary .
insurance companies will normally pay the market value of your horse if it dies or is humanely destroyed within 12 months of the date of first clinical signs of injury or illness. however there are some exceptions as follows: insurance companies will generally not cover death :
as a result of an injury that happened or an illness that first showed clinical signs before your horses insurance started.
