Viewing service

  • Please don't ask me to look at adverts for you unless you are employing me for a horse search or a Phone call service. People would have me scrutinising adverts all day!
My service offers various levels of assistance.
 
It's up to you what level of service you would like to use me for.
I can tailor services to suit your exact requirements.
Perhaps you just want me to speak to a seller on your behalf and help you decide whether the horse is worth your time to view. Or perhaps you have already spoken to the seller and you would like me to look at a horse on your behalf. Maybe you would rather let a professional take over the whole job of finding a horse.
You are most welcome to call for any advice before employing my services.

The viewing service Sully and Phil

You may have already viewed a horse, or you may prefer me to view the horse first. Or you might like to attend the viewing with me. It is entirely up to you, and makes no difference to the cost.

I arrange with the seller a suitable time to view the horse. Or you may make arrangements after contacting me for availability.

At the viewing I am working for you, on your behalf only. I have no interest whatsoever in the sale of the horse I am viewing. I will provide you with factual information and a professional opinion based on what I see on the day.

I will be very specific to the seller in describing exactly what I want to see when I attend the viewing. If the seller retracts permission on the day or withdraws from showing the horse to me in accordance with my request then I shall cease the viewing and either speak to you directly on the phone, or leave the premises as to prevent further cost to yourself.

I will be looking for many things at a viewing. I am not always just looking at the horse in question. My experience will lead me to pick up on issues that others may miss. I can explain to you before a viewing exactly what i will be looking for. The viewing process is very thorough and you will receive a detailed report on the animal.  Sometimes it will become evident very early on that a horse is unsuitable for the job you require. In such a case I will cease the viewing to save your costs. If we get so far as to try the horse under saddle, then I shall ride the horse if required. If you have paid for a full ridden viewing you may receive a partial refund if I do not ride.

I will take the seller through a detailed questionnaire during the viewing which will give them ample opportunity to describe the horse again truthfully and accurately. The seller will be asked to sign to confirm his / her answers are truthful and note that his answers will be used by yourself to make a decision on buying the horse. The seller will also note that he / she may be held liable if it is later discovered that they are withholding information on the animal which may be important in your decision on the purchase of the horse.

The seller may decline to sign the questionnaire.
 
Some people find the questionnaire very useful, others find it very formal. I can omit the questionnaire from the viewing but this is not advisable if you cannot be present yourself at the viewing.

The viewing may take up to two hours.

Hopefully by the time you decide to go ahead with a viewing we can be fairly sure that the horse may well fit the description and be suitable for your purpose.

If I attend the viewing without you, I shall provide you with photographs and video of the horse as well as a (hopefully signed) copy of the questionnaire.

I will also give you my opinion on whether the horse will suit your requirements.

It is then up to you to make a decision.

I take no part in the sale of the horse. I can attempt to secure a better price and a trial period if you wish me to, but the actual purchase of the animal is entirely down to yourself.
That is a contract between yourself and the seller. I can advise, but take no part in this contract.
 
However it may of course turn out that the horse is unsuitable. Don't be put off looking again. There will be a horse to suit you somewhere!
 
The report I deliver to you concerning any horse I have viewed may or may not be favourable.  I shall remain professional and discreet during any viewing and you will be the first person to whom I disclose my opinion of the animal. In the presence of a horses owner I may often need to be very discreet and shall remain impartial while collecting information. Rest assured that I am very much working with your best interests at the front of my mind.
 

You may pay for viewings using the payments page on the menu to the left of the screen. Or if you require a quote for a viewing please contact me with the relevant post code. I can you send a paypal invoice for you to pay easily with your credit or debit card on the internet if required.

I can work within your budget! My aim is to provide you with an efficient service which does not cost the earth. Contact me for a chat about how I can keep costs down for you.
 It is likely that should you employ my services, what you may pay me will be saved from the cost of your horse!
