Why Would I Purchase a Foal Contract?

Horses are like people. Their most formative years for training are when they are very young. We believe baby foals should be handled and led daily. Unfortunately, many people will try to sell you horses that have had little or no handling when they were young. We really enjoy raising and training foals. It is extremely rewarding and its a fun activity the whole family can enjoy. Some of our customers are deciding that they want to get their horse as a baby. They are also finding that it can be very rewarding to see their baby grow up.

What is the financial benefit?

We see the foal contract as a win-win proposition for us and for our customers. But, it takes a special customer. We know that most buyers want to buy an adult horse that has a lot of training. But for the buyer with the patience and interest to train a young horse, this is a terrific opportunity. As we continue to improve our breeding program, we are getting a very strong interest from buyers wanting offspring from our best brood mares. We have limited room on our small farm, so we only have the space to raise and train a few young horses. When we know we have a buyer willing to train one of our foals, we reduce our costs and have room to train another horse. This why we offer attractive prices on the foal contracts. The other benefit for the buyer is the fact that they get first choice on the foals from their favorite mare.

How do I choose the right mare?

That's the fun part. Our mares all share one commom trait. They've all been selected to have sweet, lovable personalities. They are calm and easy to train. We know that temperament is largely genetic, so temperament is always our first focus. After that, we can give you some great choices depending on what you'd like to see in your horse. Our mares are different sizes and have different strengths. We love dicussing our mares and would be glad to help you choose.

What does the contract say?

We always like to keep things simple. We're fairly flexible. We want to be clear and fair. We sit down with the buyer and clearly write out an agreement in simple language. We discuss payments, delivery timimg and options, what happens if there is an issue with the foal's health (our foals are guaranteed to be healthy). Occasionally, buyers are interested in only males or females. We will consider these options as well as other customer requests.

Can I really raise my own horse?

That's a good question. If you've never raised a young horse, you'll have to do an honest assessment of yourself. Do you have the "do it yourself" mentality? Are you patient? You will have to study some horse training techniques. Much of this can be learned from training DVD's. I actually recommend that all my customers by a training DVD regardless of how much training their horse has. I think its important for all horse owners. They do have "foal training" DVD's available. Of course, we're always available to help. We're glad to share our training techniques. We actually use some very simple methods to train our foals. You might be shocked at how simple it is once you get the hang of it. You may also decide that a young horse isn't a good fit for you. Give us a call if you have any questions.
