You will not bid on any Lot unless You are financially able to pay the full bid price made for the Lot;For a successful claim generally there will need to be a defect with the horse. Defects typically fall into types; clinical and behavioural. It follows that careful consideration should be given to possible origins for any marked change in behaviour including enquiries made of the vendor and potentially veterinary examination. Where possible, enquiries should be made with the previous owners of the horse, and/or others who may be familiar with it, to establish whether the animal has previously displayed similar behavioural traits.

Reflecting this attitude, the term horse trading was widely adopted as a way to describe what might be seen as unethical business practices in a more positive light.

Understanding this is the first step on the journey into moulding your horse or pony. Robert Sangster was the man responsible for the boom. together with Irishmen Vincent O’Brien, the world’s finest trainer, and stallion master John Magnier, Sangster undertook the revolutionary policy of buying ‘baby’ stallions – the world’s most expensive yearlings. And the man who could win at this game, they decided, was the man who bought them all. they sent prices through the roof in bidding wars fought with breathtaking daring. Top stallions became worth three times their weight in gold – the breeding rights to them became a licence to print money.a) Must ensure that all records, as are required under the Law or under the Rules of Racing, of the ownership of the horse, are updated to reflect the sale, including with the Passport Issuing Authority, Weatherbys and/or the British Horseracing Authority, as applicable; l)“Stud Book Authority” means a body listed by the International Stud Book Committee as administering an Approved Stud Book; The term ‘horse trading’, which came into usage around 1820, owes its origin to the notorious shrewdness of horse traders who bought and sold horses.
