Pass-Outs
No lot will be allowed to leave the Showground until a Pass has been obtained from the Sales Office. In the event of lot labels missing from lots these animals will not be allowed to leave until identified to the satisfaction of the Auctioneers Representative.
Veterinary Procedure
All horses and ponies are sold subject to veterinary examination unless sold for £700 or less, or otherwise stated by the auctioneer at time of sale.
Veterinary Surgeons appointed by the Auctioneers are available through the Auctioneers Office to examine horses on behalf of Vendors and Purchasers. In the case of Purchasers, they are prepared to examine horses on their behalf as to whether they are correct under the Conditions of Sale. The Veterinary Surgeon’s decision that a horse be returnable is binding on both parties. All horses should be vetted for eyes, heart, action, age and ascertainment of catalogue descriptions for a fee of £150.00 including VAT.
Vendors must check the veterinary board displayed in the Sales Office to see if their horse/pony must be presented for veterinary examination. Vendors should not leave the Sale Site without first checking the vetting board.
Horse Passports
The Horse Passports (England) Regulations 2004 state that ‘after 28th February 2005 no person shall sell a horse without a passport’. It is the vendors responsibility to produce a valid and correct passport for their entry, which will be surrendered to the auctioneers on arrival at the sale ground. This passport will be given to the new purchaser or returned to the vendor if not sold.
Vaccinations
There is no requirement for vaccinations to be up to date at this sale.
Delivery and Stabling
All lots will have stabling available from 5.00pm until gates close at 9.00pm on the day prior to sale and from 7.30am on the day of sale. Straw is provided, however vendors must provide water buckets, mangers and all fodder. We regret stabling is not available for horses not entered in the sale.
