Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Don't Buy or Sell a Horse Before Reading This

Buying or selling a horse is infinitely more
complicated than buying a smaller pet such as a
cat or dog. There are legal implications and
responsibilities you should be aware of. Never
attempt to buy a horse unless you are
knowledgeable or you have an experienced person
with you.

You should buy a horse that suits your level of
riding and experience; for example buying a
highly strung horse if you're a novice is
dangerous as the horse may be too much of a
handful for you.

Caveat emptor (or let the buyer beware)
definitely applies when it comes to buying and
selling horses. In most places, the
responsibility falls on the buyer to detect any
health issues in the horse; sellers aren't
obligated to disclose known conditions or defects
in the horse except under certain conditions.

Depending on whether the seller has any scruples
or not, he or she may decide to withhold
information about the horse unless the contract
clearly requires them to divulge this
information, so make sure you ask direct
questions about the horse's condition and mention
what the horse will be used for.

It is solely up to you to investigate before
buying, this is why it's important to take
someone who is knowledgeable with you. Ask
pertinent questions about the horse and make sure
the seller knows what you want the horse for;
make sure you have the horse vetted and check its
pedigree and competition records if possible.

Selling a horse also requires some insight.
Deciding to sell your horse can be a difficult
time especially if you're concerned about the
horse going to a good home. Your horse will need
to be accessed as accurately as possible and any
training you horse has had will add to its value.
If the horse has any vices or issues you should
try to resolve them before attempting to sell the
horse as they will decrease its value.

Selling a horse requires a certain amount of
patience and you will need to advertise the sale
properly to get the maximum amount of coverage
for your sale. First impressions go a long way so
you should ensure that your horse is always
smartly turned out when presented to an
interested party. Hiring a reputable trainer to
retrain your horse can greatly increase its value.
