Veterinary Procedure
All horses are sold subject to veterinary examination unless sold for £500 or less, or otherwise stated.
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 £65.
Purchasers must notify the office that they require an examination within 1 hour of the time of purchase and receive a vetting slip to enable examination to take place.
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.
It is emphasised that the facilities are not available to undertake a full veterinary examination but part veterinary examination should take place. This part examination should include examination for sarcoids or sarcoid-like lesions, which can only be complained about on the day of sale. Only Lots that are examined by the panel on the Sale Day have an extended period of 2 working days (including Saturdays) to enable complete veterinary examination.
All lots not examined by the veterinary surgeon on the Sale Day will not be covered by a veterinary warranty.

All lots will have penning/stabling available for the night before they are sold.
