Finances

~ Financing Information ~

On average, people begin the purchasing process when a horse is between the ages of one and two years of age. A down payment is required at this time, and payments are arranged to be spread out over time if neccessary.

During the following months or years, new owners can spend as much time as they like during the growing up and educational part of development. Progress reports, photos and even vidoes are given to keep you updated on your new horse.

Owner education is as important as the horse's development. Much time is spent on teaching you health, care, handling and training of your new horse.

If you find you or your horse needs more education after the intial foundation, we can work out a program that fits your budget in order for you to progress and feel comfortable with your new horse.

You are not only buying a new horse, but a support system with world class educational information.
