• All Livestock is sold as is with no guarantee. We try to do an excellent job of evaluating each horse.  Evaluations of all livestock are done by me, and my staff as a courtesy to our customers. We want to try to match the horses with the right rider, so that this works for both their needs and yours. We are hopefully that we can find an appropriate home for their level of training and needs.  All evaluations are subject to human error. We will pass along any information given at the sale barn, or from the previous seller in our original evaluation, but from that point forward we do base everything else off our findings at my facility. Sometimes after the initial evaluation we find the age, or training originally passed on with the horse to be incorrect, and we will change those details not to confuse you, but we want to base our sell of each animal off our firsthand knowledge and not "hear say" . 

• Please remember all livestock that have been through public auction may have been exposed to bacterial, viral, parasite, and/or fungal. Quarantine maybe necessary if you're boarding in a public place, or own other livestock. Please discuss this with your barn manager, and feel free to have them contact Tara Directly at 318-335-8720, to discuss what your horse will need prior to arriving.

• I want to reiterate when we buy livestock at public auction, I want to make sure you understand that we have no way to guarantee that the stories or history that we've been told to have any truth. I am going to repeat, and disclosed history for each horse, but I do not guarantee that what I am passing on to be truthful or any guarantee. I will from that first evaluation gather as much firsthand knowledge as I can about a horse, the longer I have them the more I can tell you, but the price also does get higher as we have time and effort into them.

• What I recommend is you watch the VIDEO of each horse and BUY WHAT IS IN THE VIDEO, NOT THE HISTORY.  As you watch each the evaluation videos of the livestock that we've made for you, remember these are done LIVE without any edit.  Please make sure what you see is what you are wanting and not basing your purchase off of "history" as we have no way to guarantee their history. 

• We will provide current photos and videos, so you should have more than enough to base a solid opinion on. We highly recommend that you do watch the videos, and please feel free to call Tara when you are ready to buy as she knows the horses best and certainly help you find the right horse for your needs. 

All livestock are boarded at our facility starting the day you purchase. It's $25 a day storage charge until pick up. Board starts the day you make a deposit or pay in full and ends the day you pick up.  The first day payment is made, and the day of pick up are included in your board.

Under no circumstances is board to be waived unless you have a written and signed contract with Tara that states your board was waived. Unless that is present upon pick up you will be expected to pay $25 a day board with no discounted rate.

Board includes turnout storage, free choice hay, and water. Horses that need extra will be grained. 

Board does not include any supplements, medication, or treats. You can purchase those, and we can accommodate giving them while boarded here.

Board is charged when the pickup appointment is scheduled. If your livestock will be staying longer than 30 days, we will bill you for board at the end of each month.

When purchasing livestock from a broker you understand the risk associated with buying livestock privately o

Kill Pen horses that are bought often have little to no truthful information about their history.  

We will not be able to provide you with any history other than what comes with them from the sale barn.

These horses are often stressed, and THEY WILL LOOSE WEIGHT.  You will need to assess them once home for ulcers, sickness, under lying conditions, and behavioral issues.

We do our best to give you an assessment of the horse's demeanor, however horses can change once the environment changes. Some settle down and become more docile, and some get fat and sassy.

The reward to saving a  life is totally worth the risk, associated with kill pen horses. But, please be realistic regarding live animals that we  have limited truthful history of, that are exposed to sickness, and are stressed. The can loose weight standing depressed, and this isn't neglect on our part. They can get injured. They can be difficult to load, and handle when they are stressed. All of this can be addressed and fixed once they're removed from the kill pen and taken to quarantine or your horse to decompress.

PLEASE BE REALISTIC AND KIND WHEN SAVING A LIFE, DO NOT BE RUDE OR JUDGEMENTAL. That behavior is really a waste of time and energy.
