SELLING YOUR HORSE
If you are having trouble selling your horse then let Oldencraig Equestrian Centre explain why it would be worth considering you sending your horse to us to sell for you.
We have over 30 years expertise in selling and sales preparation.
We advertise in all the national and local magazines and the horses are also advertised on the British Dressage, Oldencraig, and the Horse Quest websites. We will also this year be advertising horses on the Horse and Country Channel. This means that your horse will be viewed by people all over the country and also abroad via the websites. Considering the expansive media coverage we offer it will only cost the owner a one off payment of £200. We will advertise your horse elsewhere should you wish but this will not be covered in the one off payment and will be an additional cost.
The owner will not need to worry about showing the horse to prospective clients at OEC we deal with that for you, the horse will be turned out as though it is going to a show. Advanced riders will ride the horse in front of the clients and show the horse off to its best ability then we will offer a free lesson to the client to help them gel with the horse. The client will then be able to see the horse in the stable untacked etc and talk to the rider.
We also receive clients from all over the world come to view our horses and as part of the service we will pick them up from the airports. Accommodation locally is arranged for them. Clients like coming to us as they are able to view a wide selection of world class horses with impeccable breeding over a couple of days and they rarely go home empty handed.
Oldencraig has a worldwide reputation due to the hard work and dedication of Ian Winfield and Vicki Thompson (Olympic team rider and trainer) many articles by the top equestrian magazines have been written over the years and some of these may be viewed here on our website.
Oldencraig are always happy to provide the buyer free training and livery to make the sale of your horse happen none of which is chargeable to the owner.
Once the sale has been confirmed, you the owner will be given the name and telephone number of the purchaser so that you are able to contact them. You are welcome to be here when potential clients come to view your horse as you will be told in advance when appointments are made for viewings and all the time that your horse is here you are more than welcome to come and ride and use all our wonderful facilities.
What is the cost to you?
£182.00 per week including VAT, this includes your horse being schooled 6 days a week by one of our advanced riders and you are welcome to come and watch your horse being schooled. The only thing that is not covered by this price is shoeing and vet fees.
