FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If you are thinking of purchasing a horse or a foal from us, here are some answers to queries that we often receive.
Can I come and visit the stud?
​
Visitors are welcome but it must be with a pre arranged appointment only.
If it is not a visit for a purchase (either of a horse, pony or to view one of our stallions for a prospective covering), but simply to meet our horses and to take the opportunity to chat with us, we prefer to give you a date outside of our busiest times. The breeding season and show season can be particularly busy for us , so we will advise you of our availability.
​
How to I make a purchase (general)?
​
When you contact us we will first ascertain what your specific requirements are. If you are enquiring about a specific horse, we can supply you with all of the information you need.
You can either make a visit in person to see a horse or, as many of our buyers come from outside of France, you can buy "unseen".
If you decide to make a purchase and wish to secure a horse, we supply a sales contract and ask for a deposit. *** Please note: a visit does not constitute a reservation - a horse is only reserved for a buyer once the deposit has been received. A planned visit does not take priority over a deposit.***
To reserve a foal before weaning, the procedure is similar. A sales contract is provided and a deposit secures your reservation. The balance is payable when the foal reaches 6 months of age. We do not offer pre-reservation or reservation "in-utero" for our foals but if you are interested in a foal for the future, we can put you onto a waiting list so that you can be contacted as a priority once a foal is born that corresponds with your requirements.
We reserve the right to choose the home that we feel will correspond the most with the horse/foal.
​
What about transportation and vet checks?
​
We can help to organise transport worldwide for your horse, including the preparation of all of the paperwork. Vet checks are usually necessary for travel and exportation. If you require additional veterinary examinations we can recommend a vet who will do this for you.
Do we offer coverings from our stallions?
​
We do offer coverings from our stallions, we only offer live coverings. If you are interested, please contact us for more information.
​
Do we offer boarding facilities and training?
​
If you purchase one of our horses or foals, you can keep them here with us if you wish, until you are ready for them to come to you. Some people prefer to leave a foal with us so that they will be able to socialise with others of a similar age. These places are very limited so it is best to let us know early if this is your intention. We can offer age appropriate groundwork and training whilst the horse/foal is with us.
