Looking to buy a piebald or skewbald? Our buyers’ guide has all the expert advice you need to choose wisely

Coloured horsesWords: Carolyn Henderson

The fi rst thing to remember if you’re looking to buy a skewbald or piebald is that markings shouldn’t colour your decisions. Even if you’ve

decided that you won’t look at solid coloured animals, other considerations must take priority over patches.

“Look at a horse and ask yourself one important question,” says Lynda Lodge, chairman of the British Skewbald and Piebald Association. “If it were plain bay, would you still think it was a nice horse? If the answer is

yes, then that’s a good start. But if the answer is no, perhaps because you realise it has pretty markings but a number of conformation faults, then do you really want to buy it?”

Conformation, movement, a trainable temperament and all the other considerations that need to be taken into account are equally as important when buying a coloured horse as when considering any other. It’s easy to be dazzled by attractive markings, but vital to be able to see past them.

Similarly, have you found a lovely horse who ticks all the boxes but doesn’t have the most attractive markings? In theory, the

distribution of white and patches of another colour shouldn’t make a difference, even in the show ring.

In practice, if two horses are of equal standing in all respects and one is better marked than the other, colour distribution may be a fi nal factor – although, of course, every judge has individual opinions. But in any other discipline, as long as the horse appeals to you and is a good candidate for the job you want him to do, it doesn’t matter if, for instance, he has a vast expanse of white with little colour, or looks totally different when viewed from one side than from the other.

BUYERS’ GUIDE

Depth and diversityColoured horses have been a rags to riches phenomenon. At one time, they were looked down on. Caroline Hamilton, chairman of the Coloured Horse and Pony Society, recalls that when she hunted her first stallion, the great Lostock Blue, she was asked by one member of the field why she had come out on a cow!

Now, coloured animals are accepted and sought after in all fields. They come literally in all shapes and sizes, from lead rein ponies through native types and cobs to warmbloods and horses carrying more than 99 per cent Arabian blood. Some have even made it to the racetrack, notably Heather Kitching’s Angrove Rumbaba.

So whatever type of horse or pony you’re looking for and whatever job you want it to do, you can find a skewbald or piebald version. No matter how specific your demands, you’ll find someone who sells or breeds a particular type; some specialise in warmbloods, some in coldbloods and some in particular showing categories.

However, don’t get confused between types and breeds. Coloured native types are much sought after, both in the show ring and as fun and performance ponies, but the Shetland Pony Society is the only breed society that will register skewbald and piebald purebreds.

Coloured ponies may occur naturally – for instance, skewbalds and piebalds are found in the Welsh breeds, particularly the Welsh Section A and Welsh Section C – but foals are not allowed in the main purebred stud registers even if they have blueblood lineage. The same applies to all the other native breeds.

If you find a horse or pony advertised as having registered breeding, make sure you have the relevant documentation. It may be registered in a studbook appendix of a breed society, with CHAPS, the BSPA or the Traditional Gypsy Cob Association. The TGCA was awarded breed recognition by DEFRA in 2012.

Some breeders and authorities believe that hair or the lack of it is simply a matter of presentation. Whilst one owner may choose to present a horse as a traditional, with flowing mane, tail and feathers, another may present him as a show cob, with a hogged mane, pulled or shaped tail and clipped legs.

So don’t just look at a horse as he is.

Could you change his style and give him more potential?

Winning markingsIf you’re buying a coloured horse or pony to compete in classes under the auspices of the BSPA or CHAPS, make sure your potential purchase is already registered or meets their criteria for registration.

For instance, the BSPA says that colour must be distributed on the body above the elbow and that stifle and face markings in isolation are not acceptable.

It also stipulates that only natural markings visible from a standing position, at a distance of three metres, are acceptable.

The lesser of the two colours must meet a minimum requirement of a single patch of colour located on one side of the body, covering an area of at least 15cm by 15cm.

Minimally marked horses must also show at least two markers from a list of nine. This includes white under the belly and a blue eye or eyes.

While local shows may include duns, palominos, spotted horses and roans under the label of ‘coloured,’ officially the term applies only to skewbalds and piebalds.

A piebald is black and white and a skewbald is any colour other than black and white, so the latter may have bay, brown, chestnut, roan, grey, palomino or dun patches. Some foals which appear to be piebald grey out as they become older; if one parent is grey, then this is highly likely to happen, as grey is a dominant gene.

Eventually, a grey and white skewbald – often referred to as blue and white – will become white grey, just as the coats of dapple or iron greys usually lighten with age. It won’t

Colouring the futureThe demand for coloured horses and ponies has become such that many breeders are looking to produce them. If you’re thinking of buying one that you hope has breeding potential, be strict and don’t settle for second best.

Both the BSPA and CHAPS offer stallion and mare gradings and youngstock assessments, which identify animals of a high enough standard. Evaluation is carried out by knowledgeable breeders and judges and if a horse or pony has been graded to a high level, it’s a definite mark of approval.

If you buy an animal who hasn’t been put forward for assessment or grading, get it done. Not only will you hopefully have your judgement confirmed, you’re giving your horse a head start.

affect a horse’s status or eligibility for coloured classes, as when registered as skewbald they retain that for the rest of their lives.

Colour and conformationThe number of coloured horse enthusiasts far outweighs those who are not attracted to them. Even those who are looking for equine athletes to do a particular job are often delighted to own one, though they would never take colour into consideration when buying a horse.

“My top consideration is whether a horse is going to leave the poles up,” says show jumper John Whitaker. “But I always like a nice coloured horse.”

At one time, there was a school of thought which felt that dressage horses should always be of a solid colour, with no white leg markings. White socks or patches could, it was suggested, cause an optical illusion that cast doubts on a horse’s outline or regularity of paces.

TOP TIPSR

l If you wouldn’t like a coloured horse if he was plain bay – don’t buy him!

l If you want to compete under the auspices of the BSPA or CHAPS, make sure your horse fulfils requirements on coat markings.

l Remember that coloured horses and ponies come in many types, from cobs to warmbloods.

l If a horse is advertised as having recorded breeding, make sure you have relevant documentation.

l When assessing an animal’s conformation, look at him as a whole and try not to let markings cause an optical illusion.

l If you’re buying a horse or pony with a view to breeding, choose one who is graded or has had a favourable youngstock assessment.

If you’re planning to compete in BSPA or CHAPS classes, make sure your potential purchase is already registered, or meets their criteria for registration

Some showing judges felt that while coloured show cobs were acceptable, skewbald or piebald was not an appropriate colour for a hunter or hack. Fortunately, those days are long gone and coloured horses are strutting their stuff in the dressage arena and the show ring. We’ve yet to see a champion coloured show hack, but that day will undoubtedly come.

“It takes a little while to get your eye in when judging a coloured horse,” explains one top judge. “You just have to concentrate a little more to visualise it as a whole and not allow the markings to break up the horse’s shape into sections.”

This advice applies equally to assessing the conformation of a horse you’re thinking of buying. Is he short in the neck, or do his markings merely give that initial impression? Are you looking at the angle of his shoulder, or the angle of a block of colour? Is he a little long or a little too short in the back, or is it an optical illusion? HD

Some coloureds have even made it on to the racetrack – notably Heather Kitching’s Angrove Rumbaba

Arabs with colourKent-based Silvabak Stud is one of the only studs in the UK aiming to breed Arabians with colour (see above).

It’s giving owners the chance to breed pure- or part-bred Arabs, with the unique colour option of ‘Sabino’ – a colour pattern often characterised by four white feet and legs, where the stockings often extend in ragged formation, belly patches that extend to the body, a wide blaze often extending around the eyes and under the chin and jaw and body roaning. Sabinos can be minimally to moderately expressed and can be on any coat colour.

Google ‘Silvabak Stud’ to find out more.

As more and more riders wake up to cobs’ versatility and adaptability, our buyers’ guide will help you choose the right one for you

Buying a cobWords: Carolyn Henderson

Thinking of buying a cob? Then join the queue, because more and more riders are waking up to their versatility and adaptability.

Cobs are the ultimate fun horses. At one level, a top class show cob can get you to the Horse of the Year Show; at another, an all-rounder can take you show jumping, show a clean pair of heels cross-country or out hunting, and be a real all-round family friend.

Yet one of the biggest mistakes some buyers make is to underestimate them. A cob might not take you three-day eventing or down the centre line in a Grand Prix dressage class, but there are plenty doing well at the lower levels in affiliated dressage, show jumping and horse trials.

You may even get more than you bargained for. Omar Rabia, author of Cobs Can! (published by J A Allen) has helped many riders get the most from their cobs and other heavier and native types, and his own cob, Ketchup, works at Advanced level and is establish in piaffe and passage. He points out that, although cobs are often ridden by inexperienced or nervous riders, we shouldn’t think that’s all they have to offer.

“The fact that cobs are thought of as steady enough and gentle enough for novice, stiff or elderly riders only goes to show their true generous nature and amazing temperaments,” he says. “But if allowed to be, a cob will be forward, attentive, light, supple and incredibly agile.”

Cob conformationCobs evolved as all-round horses who could do everything from pull a cart to go hunting. In general, they are a type rather than a breed, though the Welsh Section D is often referred to as the Welsh Cob and is, of course, a native breed, while DEFRA has awarded breed recognition to the Traditional Gypsy Cob Association.

To make it even more confusing, a cob may have known breeding or his lineage may be unrecorded. Many have Irish Draught or heavy horse lineage, and many show cobs are purebred or partbred Irish Draughts.

It’s the show cob who provides the ideal blueprint of cob conformation – and even if you don’t intend to show, it’s useful to keep in mind.

Show cobs provide the ideal blueprint of cob conformation

“A show cob should have the head of a duchess and the backside of a cook,” says Robert Oliver, who has produced many showing superstars. “He should be a reasonably short-backed animal with plenty of depth through his body to take up the rider’s leg and sufficient width through his chest.

“He should stand four-square and have good, clean, quality limbs. Cobs are relatively short-legged, but should never be stuffy or have a restricted stride. They should have short cannon bones and, as they are expected to carry a reasonable amount of weight, good bone.”

A show cob will have a powerful neck that may seem short when compared to a hunter, but will be in proportion to his body. As Robert points out, you don’t want a long neck

attached to a short body because the horse will naturally go on his forehand. Nor do you want a neck that is so short you feel as if the horse’s ears are in your mouth!

It’s also important for a ridden cob to have a good shoulder with sufficient slope to allow movement that is forward rather than up and down. If there is some definition to the withers, you’re on to a winner in terms of saddle fitting – but many cobs, as with some native ponies, have very little wither.

This, together with a flattish back and round barrel, can make a saddle fitter’s job difficult, but there are saddles that particularly suit typical cob conformation.

31



On showCob types are traditionally between 14.2hh and 15.2hh, because their smaller size and inherent hardiness makes them cheaper to keep. If the cob issufficiently deep through the girth, a tall rider won’t look out of proportion. You’ll also find plenty who fall either side of those guidelines and fulfil all or many of the cob characteristics – including the lovely Welsh Section C, a native breed described as the ‘Welsh pony of cob type’ and who has a maximum height limit of 137.2cm (showing society rules specify height in centimetres, rather than hands).

If you want to show your cob under British Show Horse Association rules, he will need to comply with height regulations, have a Joint Measurement Board certificate and be registered as a lightweight, heavyweight or maxi cob. A lightweight should exceed 148cm but not exceed 155cm and be capable of carrying up to 14stone and a heavyweight should meet the same height parameters and be capable of carrying over 14 stone.

Maxi cobs are over 155cm but if you want to do well, your horse must still be a short-legged animal of cob type. All categories must be shown trimmed and hogged.

There are also classes under British Skewbald and Piebald Association, the Coloured Horse and Pony Society and TGCA for cobs shown as traditionals, with full manes, tails and feathers.

Cobs are slow to mature physically and many keep growing until they are seven or even older. If you buy a young cob who only just measures in, you have to accept that he may measure out later on – though now, you can move him to the maxi cob ranks.

Best foot forwardSome riders assume or complain that cobs are restricted in their movement and have rather stuffy paces. That isn’t true – a

Top show producer Lynn Russell shows the cobs’ versatility in all showing classes

well-schooled cob with reasonable conformation can be a real power mover. He won’t and shouldn’t have the toe-flicking, daisy-cutting action of a show hack, but when he learns to balance himself, lift his abdominal muscles and engage his hindlegs, he can be as light and active as any other type. When you’re assessing a cob, try and visualise what he will be capable of, not just how he goes for his present rider. That can be easier said than done, so if necessary, get advice from someone who understands cobs and has trained them successfully.

Omar says that rhythm and activity are key words when talking about cob movement. “They tend to have very good, regular and rhythmical gaits – at least, when the gaits are allowed to be this way,” he says.

“As a result of their conformation, they also tend to have rounded ‘baroque’ gaits rather than the daisy-cutting gaits of a Thoroughbred.”

A cob should have a good, four-beat walk even if he overtracks to a lesser degree than a warmblood. His trot is usually naturally active and rhythmical and as cobs have become more popular in the dressage arena, most judges have learned to mark their medium and extended paces in relation to their natural working ones rather than expecting the lengthening produced by a warmblood.

Omar finds that in the initial schooling period, a cob’s canter can be his weakest gait. This, he explains, is often because a cob’s powerful hindquarters generate more power than he can manage at that stage – but with time, patience and correct work, a cob’s canter can be a delight to sit on.

Jump to itIf you want to jump, cobs definitely can. Their powerful back ends and ability to find a ‘fifth leg’ when necessary gives them a head start. If you’re trying a cob whose canter isn’t yet established but who has been introduced to fences, give yourself confidence by approaching a small fence from trot, starting with a cross-pole.

Chances are that he will pop over it in an encouragingly neat and athletic way and when he lands, the first few strides of canter should be more balanced. If his jumping is established and you’ve been used to riding a long-striding horse, it may take a little while to get used to a relatively shorter stride, so don’t be too ambitious when trying a prospect and be prepared for him to add a shorter stride rather than standing off on a long one.

Work over poles on the ground and through grids, preferably with the help of a good trainer, will soon have you hitting the heights. Under British Showjumping rules, courses for horses are based on a 3.65metre/12ft canter stride, which some cobs may find a little long at first – but work on establishing a forward, balanced canter will soon reap dividends.

TOP TIPSR

l Don’t underestimate what a cob can do. If his basic conformation, movement and temperament are good, he may surprise you.

l A cob is a type rather than a breed, with the exception of the Welsh Section D, often known as the Welsh Cob.

l Many cobs have Irish Draught or heavy horse blood somewhere in their breeding.

l Remember that cobs are slow to mature physically and may keep growing until they are seven or even older.

l While most cobs have a naturally rhythmic trot, the canter can take time to develop.

l If a cob advertised for sale isn’t particularly well schooled, it takes a knowledgeable eye to gauge his potential – so get expert advice from someone who has trained cobs successfully.

l If you’re searching for a showing superstar, remember the adage “A show cob should have the head of a duchess and the backside of a cook!”

10 questions you should ask the seller…

Buying a horse?


BUYING ADVICE

R

How long have they owned the horse and what is their reason for sale?

What is the horse like to catch, clip, load, shoe and generally handle – and how would they describe his manners?

Has the horse had any health issues in the past, and does he have any exclusions on his current insurance policy?

What level of rider is the horse currently ridden by?

Is he happy to hack out alone and good in traffic (many sellers will offer to provide a video of the horse being ridden out in traffic to prove their horse is bombproof)?

How would they describe the horse’s energy levels and personality?

If you’re buying a horse for a specific discipline, check the horse’s competition record with the governing body. This will give you a feel for how consistent he’s been.

What is the horse’s current routine like – is he turned out 24/7 or regularly stabled and ridden or trained every day?

How long has the horse been for sale?

Is the owner willing to provide a video of the horse if you can’t easily travel to see him – and will they be on hand if you do go to visit him so you can see him being ridden, etc?

Horse Deals’ vet Charlie Pinkham guides you through some of the most common reasons for horses failing a vetting

Health check

L ast month, I set out the procedure and some of the decisions that need to be taken when having a five-stage vetting done. This time, I’m looking

at some of the key areas that are examined during a vetting and describe some of the more common problems found.

It is unusual to find a perfect horse, particularly when having an older horse vetted. The outcome of many vettings is that, although the horse is suitable for its intended use, it may have a number of minor problems, or blemishes that need to be considered in discussion with the attending vet.

A clear idea of what the horse’s intended use will be, whether it is likely to be resold and if the horse is to be insured, will help the vet decide if the horse is suitable.

Here is a list of some of the more common findings and particularly those which, in my experience, concern prospective purchasers the most.

ultrasound examination of the heart to assess their significance.

Occasionally arrhythmias (an irregular rhythm) are heard. Some of these improve with exercise and will not affect the horse’s performance. If a serious arrhythmia is suspected, an ECG may be required to assess its significance.

SarcoidsSarcoids are a contentious and sometimes emotive subject for people who have had a horse with sarcoids previously. Dependant on what the horse is required for and the likelihood of a resale of the horse, sarcoids do not always mean that a horse is not suitable for purchase.

They can however, be difficult and expensive to treat and if considering purchasing a horse with sarcoids, you should be clear about the risks.

The below wording is often used on vetting forms if sarcoids are suspected:

Sarcoids are tumours that occur in horses, which only affect the skin. They are variable in appearance, locations and rate of growth. They seldom affect a horse’s usefulness, unless they are in a position likely to be abraded by the tack. Sarcoids may proliferate in size and number and may develop at other sites. Treatment is not always necessary but, if required, is possible, although in some cases it is both difficult and expensive. Some re-growth after treatment may occur.

MelanomaThe majority of grey horses from early teens onwards will, in some way, be affected by melanomas. Melanomas are benign masses within the skin.

The majority of grey horses will develop melanomas at some stage in their life, often from their early teens onwards. They are rare in non-grey horses. Melanomas mainly affect the skin. They are benign masses (there is a very rare malignant form) of melanin producing cells within the skin. They are most common in the groin region and under the tail, although they can also develop in other sites, including around the eyes and jaw. Melanomas can be treated by surgical excision, cryosurgery, or in some cases laser removal. However, if large numbers of melanomas are present, treatment can be difficult and unrewarding.

ScarsThe skin will be assessed for any previous evidence of surgery. With surgical techniques

Meet our expert Charlie Pinkham BVSc MRCVS has spent a lifetime around horses. From riding woolly ponies to riding out racehorses, it’s not surprising he became an equine vet. Charlie graduated from Liverpool University after which he was awarded a Thouron Award to work at the prestigious New Boulton Center, Pennsylvania, USA. Since then he has worked in Newmarket interspersed with three stints working in Australia. Charlie recently joined the team at The Arundel Equine Hospital, West Sussex. Visit www.arundelhorsevets.co.uk

Eye problemsEye problems affecting a horse’s suitability for purchase are thankfully rare. Cataracts are occasionally seen, particularly in older horses. Evidence of inflammation from previous episodes of uveitis can sometimes be detected and given the often recurrent nature of this condition this should exclude the horse as a prospect for purchase.

Heart problemsHeart murmurs are often a serious concern for the purchaser. This should not necessarily cause immediate alarm, as there are a large number of different types of murmur with correspondingly varying significance. For example, quiet murmurs can often be heard simply associated with the rapid filling and expulsion of blood from the heart (functional murmurs) and many older horses will have quiet murmurs associated with slightly leaky valves. More significant murmurs may require

small surgical scars can be surprisingly difficult to find. Specific sites, such as along the middle of the belly where colic surgery may have been performed, will be thoroughly examined.

SplintsSplints are a reaction of the fine bones the run alongside the cannon bone to trauma or instability. Localised inflammation may cause pain and lameness. They will frequently settle down with rest alone unless they are associated with poor confirmation, or a possible splint bone fracture. They are a very common finding during vettings. Occasionally “splints” may be associated with damage to the proximal suspensory ligament, though this is uncommon.

GOLDEN RULESWhen visiting a potential horse to purchase, first impressions go a long way, especially when it comes to assessing any possible health issues.

Look out for the following:l The horse should look bright eyed

and perky, with a shiny coat.

l He should look alert and interested, and greet you as a friend.

l The inside of his gums and nostrils should be pink without discoloured mucus or discharge.

l He should stand up square without pointing or resting a front leg.

l His droppings should look ‘normal’ in colour and consistency.

l At rest, he should breathe easily without coughing.

l He should appear well muscled and the right weight for his type.

l Ask if he needs any special shoeing and check his hooves well trimmed.

l All four legs should feel cool, with no swellings.

l Check he has had regular check-ups with the dentist, physio, chiropractor and saddle fitter.


correctional farriery. However, problems such as collapsed heel with long toes and club feet should be avoided. As the old adage saying “No foot, no horse”.

LamenessLameness is the most common cause for a horse to fail a vetting. If a horse is found to be lame during stage II of the examination, the veterinarian will normally end the vetting. Occasionally, a very subtle lameness may be seen when the horse is lunged or ridden. This does not always preclude the horse from purchase and further discussion with the vet about the horse’s intended use will help to assess if the horse is suitable.

It is recommended that a blood sample is taken, at the time of the vetting, to be stored for six months. This can then be tested for a number of drugs if the horse goes lame subsequent to the vetting.

Thankfully the vast majority of horses are sold in good faith and the sample only rarely ends up being tested.

Assessment of the horse’s windDuring stage IV of the examination, the horse’s wind is assessed when it is at a gallop. This is specifically to listen for any sounds that may suggest that the larynx is not working properly (laryngeal hemiplegia). If there is concern over a horse’s wind, an endoscopy exam will often be recommended to assess the larynx further.

Ageing the horseThe veterinary surgeon examining the horse will make an estimate of the horse’s age to ensure that it matches with the horse’s passport. It should be noted that this is only really accurate, to within a year, up to six years old. Thereafter, the range from the estimated age increase so that after about 11 years of age, an age bracket of between three and five years is all that is possible. HD

Dressage rider Spencer Wilton shares his advice and experiences of shopping for dressage horses at home and abroad

Clients often ask me for advice on buying horses and whether they should use an agent to help source their dream dressage horse.

The idea of using an agent is appealing as a good dealer will do much of the background work for you and will offer you several choices in one place.

If you decide to go shopping for horses in Europe, many will pick you up at the airport and arrange a couple days’ viewing at different yards. If you’re spending between 5% and 10% on a “finders’ fee,” I like to think the agent has spent time doing the leg work and going to see the horses themselves before they take you there. I’ve been on time-wasting trips in the past so you don’t want to turn up and find the horse has three ears and no tail!

Finding the ideal horse is a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack and you need to do your research thoroughly. I would always advise starting your search by word-of-mouth recommendations. A good dealer will have many recommendations from happy owners, not just for finding the right horse but also helping to solve problems quickly and efficiently should things go wrong.

Many inexperienced buyers are tempted to buy the first horse they fall in love with and it’s really the trainer’s job to keep them reined in as it can take weeks or even months to find the right horse, so you have to keep your excitement under control and your business head firmly in place!

A good agent is worth every penny as they don’t have an easy job and will spend many man hours sourcing the right type of horse. As a buyer, it’s your job to ask all the questions you need before you start shopping or parting with your money, so you’re really sure what you are buying.

Jay’s latest hobby is internet shopping and he is currently addicted to surfing in search of potential rough diamonds which can be turned into winning talent. He’s found quite a few over the past few months and with good training and a bit of luck they have turned out to be talented eventers, but in my experience,

When going to vieW a horse for the first time, it should give you

a good gut feeling before you even sit on it or Watch it being riddenSpencer Wilton

it’s harder to do this if you’re looking for horses to do pure dressage or show jumping.

Finding potential top level competition horses which are likely to be good enough to make team horses, is a real gamble which is why they are so valuable. Like the best diamonds, anything that is rare is worth a lot of money and everybody wants it!

When going to view a horse for the first time, it should give you a good gut feeling before you even sit on him, or watch him being ridden.

If he’s a potential top horse, it should blow your socks off when you first sit on him and put a real smile on your face.

If you get on a four-year-old and it feels downhill, it’ll probably always feel a bit downhill and there’ll be an element

of a natural weakness there. Over the years I’ve learned that although you

can improve a lot of horses with training, if there’s a natural weakness there, then it’ll always be there to some extent.

But on the flip side, I’ve also been proved wrong several times, and with a change of stable management, feed and training, a horse has gone on to be a winner, but that’s all part of the fascination and that element of surprise that keeps us all addicted!

Although I look at correct conformation and mechanics, especially when it comes to dressage horses, temperament and trainability is also important.

As I’m nearing 40, I no longer want to be riding a lunatic every day, so an ideal horse should be one which you look forward to riding, rather than dreading the experience!

If you like what you see when a horse is ridden and then when you get on it gives you a good feeling and fits you like a glove, well done. You’ve probably struck gold and it’s likely to be the right partner for you… happy shopping! HD

TOP TIPSR

l “Never be tempted to buy a competition horse without a full five stage vetting,” says Spencer.

l “Spend as much as you can afford on a full set of X-rays – like buying a house, it’s better to know about any problems up front.

l “X-rays should include images of feet, fetlocks, stifles, hocks and back.

l “If buying abroad, it’s worth getting your own vet to check he is happy with the X-rays provided, or even better send him over to do the vetting.

l “If a horse is cheap, ask why.

l “It’s a buyers’ market, so be patient and don’t let your heart rule your head!”

Finding a good competition horse is a gamble, says Spencer, who has a strong team, including Zamboucca (pictured here)

JANUARY 2013 HORSE DEALS Tel: 01733 468000

‘My best buys’TOP RIDERS’ BEST BUYS

BEST HORSE: I hate singling out any one horse, but top of my list would have to be Hiscox Askari.WHY? He was a good buy and didn’t cost a lot, but he went to the Sydney and Atlanta Olympics and other major championships, including World and European. He had a fantastic temperament and was very willing to work. He was very sweet and never put a foot wrong. FROM: I bought him from a friend in Holland as a three-year-old, and after he’d fi nished at championship level and I wanted him to step down, I sold him to another dear friend in the USA. She’s actually the president of the US Equestrian Federation and a prolifi c owner of championship horses, and Askari became her personal horse. He was sold on the understanding he would come back home to me and retire, but he lived in such palatial conditions over there, he never did want to come back! Askari only had three owners in his life – he was a very special horse.

Four-time Olympian and a British team regular, Richard Davison’s name is synonymous with elite level dressage. Here he shares the gear he can’t live without

BEST TACK: Modular WOW saddle and Elevator bridle.WHY? The saddle has an air system, which allows me to adjust the saddle as the horse develops, grows and changes.

The Elevator bridle is designed to relieve the pressure on the horse’s sensitive poll area. Design is so important in every piece of equipment to allow the horse to move and be comfortable. I’m always on the lookout for new products that optimise movement and performance.FROM: WOW saddles from First Thought Equine (www.fl air.uk.com); and Elevator bridles from Horsesense Saddlers in Solihull (www.horsesense.co.uk).

BEST COMPETITION CLOTHING: AnimoWHY? As a family, we all endorse Animo clothing in either show jumping or dressage.It allows easy movement and is very comfortable in a hot climate – almost like a second skin.FROM: Animo at Ashbourne (www.animouk.co.uk).

BEST YARD CLOTHING: Animo again.WHY? We live in Animo clothing. It is so comfortable, hard-wearing and practical. FROM: Animo at Ashbourne (see above).

BEST YARD EQUIPMENT: Liveryman clippers and Fenceman electric fencing. WHY? Especially at this time of year, quick, effi cient clipping is a priority and we have a selection of clippers to do the job – trimming, tidying as well as clipping all out. And no, you won’t fi nd me actually clipping, but the girls fi nd these clippers are a godsend, especially the small, quiet ones to do the sensitive areas around the head, ears, etc.

Electric fencing seems a very mundane product to say it is one of our best in the yard equipment, but it is invaluable. I like my

horses to go out in the paddocks every day to get their heads down and stretch their limbs – this is natural for horses and they should be allowed to do this. But some of the horses need to be restricted on either grazing or to stop them galloping around, and we use the electric fencing to either expand or make the area of paddock smaller. FROM: Agrihealth [agrihealth.co.uk] supply our Liveryman clipper range and Fenceman electric fencing (various suppliers across the UK).

BEST TRANSPORT: I have a big Ketterer for the stay-away shows, and have just ordered an Alexanders Windsor.WHY? The Ketterer has everything we need for stopping away, but I’m very excited about the small Alexanders Windsor lorry. I can’t wait for it to be delivered, it should be here in two weeks. I aim to be using it, but as a family we’re squabbling about it already. And it’s not here yet! I think I should have priority as I’ve paid for it, but my wife and sons have other ideas! There’s one thing for sure, we’re all talking about it every day.FROM: Ketterer (www.ketterer-trucks.de) and Alexanders (www.alexanders horseboxes.co.uk). HD

HORSE DEALS COLUMNIST


News from the eventing world from our columnist

I ended 2012 on a great note by wInnIng the fIrst round of the

express eventIng serIes on flyIng fInIsh, aka ChrIsty Lucinda Fredericks

H appy New Year! My only resolution is to take our daughter, Ellie, to all the Pony Club activities – but I do know what I want to

achieve this year. I managed to end 2012 on a great note

by winning the first round of the Express Eventing series on Flying Finish, aka Christy, so hope that also counts as a flying start! I was overwhelmed, not only by Christy’s attitude and performance but by the great support from the crowd.

Although Christy is one in a million, he’s a big, scopey horse and in theory, not the ideal type for twisty indoor courses. If things had gone according to plan, I wouldn’t even have been riding him. I originally intended to ride Brit (Headley Britannia) but would you believe that at the age of 19, she threw a splint? This is something that normally happens with young horses, but as a result, Christy had to take over. Fortunately, Brit’s back in work, looks amazing and is behaving like a three-year-old.

I was thrilled with Christy’s dressage, though one of the judges, Strictly Come

Dancing’s Karen Hardy, wasn’t too impressed by our music. I know I’m biased, but my great team did a wonderful job choosing music that suited Christy and putting it together. We will be putting our heads together to tweak it, though I love and will stick with our Slumdog Millionaire theme.

The show jumping was a real challenge, up to height and technical, with poles that fell if you so much as breathed on them. Fortunately Christy is an almost potentially top class showjumper: I’m grateful for the ‘almost’ as without it, he’d be in a pure jumping yard rather than mine!

The icing on the cake was that my co-owners, Richard Ames and my brother, Angus Murray, were there to see us win. I can’t thank Richard enough for saying he’d help me buy Christy when a rider from the USA was flying over to see the horse – and the same goes for Angus, who is one of my greatest supporters.

On the home front, event rider Oli Smith has taken over 10 boxes at Rosegarth and will be running an independent set-up alongside mine. I think he and his staff are going to fit in well; one of my team was very excited when he told her he could plumb in his own washing machine, so he may be in danger of being stereotyped as the yard handyman.

My plans for this season are in place. I’m aiming Christy and Prada – who had to have a break last season but is now back in action – at

Badminton and have a fantastic bunch of owners. Alice and Tim Page have given me the ride on Mr Sydney Rocks; I’ve also got Nicky Brooks’ Brookleigh, though he’s on the market; Mike Todd’s Rovello, John Allsop’s Nysa de Petra and Peter Urquart’s Acheron.

New owners Brook and Sally Johnson join Team Rosegarth with Lissy Mac Wayer and last but definitely not least, my great friend Nicole Pearson has Shelter Cove, on whom she’ll be aiming for qualification for the 2014 Asian Games. Definitely a team of owners made in heaven.

I’m on the lookout for a couple of good quality horses, ideally at three-star level or above, to join my team – either ones I can produce to sell for owners, or ones I can compete. Both Brit’s first embryo transfer foals, Britannia’s Mail and Little Britannia, made great starts to their careers and will be staying with me, but it takes time to bring horses through the grades.

As I write, the latest Rosegarth ET foals are on track to be auctioned by Uptown Eventing and hopefully this will be as successful as the first auction last year. I’ll let you know more next month! HD

l “When you’re looking for a horse to do a particular job, remember that a horse who doesn’t quite have what it takes to make it to the top in one discipline may excel in another,” says Lucinda. “It’s a bonus if an eventer has decent show jumping ability – as long as he’s also bold cross-country and trainable enough for the dressage phase – as poles down can send you plummeting down the placings.”

Christy, ended the year on a high

We explain the legal issues to consider when selling a horse, with advice from the experts at HorseSolicitor

Selling a horse?The legal issues that need to be

considered when selling a horse vary depending on whether or not the horse is being sold in the course

of business or by a private seller. When selling a horse in the course of

business, the Sale of Goods Act 1979 imposes terms that require the horse to be fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. This means that if a buyer can prove that the horse is not fit for purpose the seller is legally obliged to refund the financial losses that have been incurred by the buyer as a result of the sale. This will include but not be limited to the purchase price. Under the Act for example a horse could be returned to the seller if it was purchased for show jumping but it transpired that it suffered from a pre-existing back condition that prevented it from performing. The buyer would need to prove that the horse is not of satisfactory quality by obtaining a veterinary report, the cost of which could be added to the claim against the seller. The veterinary expert would only need to state that on the balance of probabilities the injury pre-dated the purchase.

When selling a horse in a private sale it is up to the buyer to check that the horse is of satisfactory quality. As the seller you do not have to disclose known defects but you must not mislead the buyer in any way by misrepresenting the horse. If the buyer can show that a statement was made by the seller that was false or misleading, that the seller made the statement to induce a sale and that had the seller not made said statement the buyer would not have purchased the horse then the buyer will have a claim against the seller for misrepresentation.

The seller does not have to make a statement in order to mislead however. If the buyer tells the seller that they want the horse as a quite hack because they are a novice and the seller is aware that the horse can be strong and requires a competent rider then there is a legal

it’s advisable to have a

written agreement Hanna Campbellduty to disclose this to the buyer. As such remaining silent can give rise to a claim for misrepresentation. At HorseSolicitor we have dealt with a number of cases in which the rider has been over horsed.

If misrepresentation is proven and the horse has caused injury the seller may have to meet a compensation claim.

The seller in the course of a private sale also needs to ensure that the horse is as described as per Section 13 of the Sale of Goods Act. It is therefore important to ensure that the advertisement placed accurately depicts the horse that is being sold in terms of it’s age, size, history, ability and temperament.

There are also occasions where a private seller would have a duty to disclose information in the course of a private sale without being asked. This would occur if the person selling the horse is known to the buyer and has a relationship in which trust is assumed. In these circumstances a fiduciary duty can be implied.

The seller should insist on the buyer riding the horse to ensure that it cannot be returned under the Distance Selling Regulations. The Distance Selling Regulations enables a buyer to return a horse with no valid reason.

Insisting on the buyer meeting the horse prior to sale also enables them to ride the horse and assess whether or not it is for them. If someone is buying a horse for a specific purpose such as for dressage or jumping they should ride it in an arena or go over a few jumps. By meeting the horse the buyer is given the opportunity to gain an insight to the horse’s temperament and this can help to avoid disputes after sale.

Whether you are selling in the course of business or privately it is always advisable to have a written agreement that documents all of the existing issues that the horse has.

The document should give a detailed description of the horse that is being sold. It should include details of the horse’s age, vices, temperament, ability, history and any ailments that it has. Both parties should sign the document and the seller should answer honestly all questions that the buyer has about the horse. HD

Top breeder Shirley Light gives us the latest news and views from Brendon Stud

I signed off my last column with my fingers crossed that our Brendon Stud auction would go well. The idea made a lot of sense to us, but we had no idea

whether other people would feel the same.All I can say is – it was super! We had 36

horses in the catalogue and I said I’d be happy if I sold 20. In fact, we sold 22 and most went to private homes.

Holding the auction was a bit like throwing a party. We hoped enough potential buyers would turn up to make it worthwhile, but had to wait and see what happened on the day. And what happened was that loads of people came: far more than we expected, but that can only be a good thing.

I knew a lot of them and it was good to see so many clients and friends. But there were also plenty of new faces and while some were just looking – which is fair enough – others were ready to put up their hands.

We didn’t hold the auction to get rid of horses that we thought weren’t going to make the grade. There was a real mix of age and experience, from broodmares and weaned foals through recently backed youngsters to show jumpers with ability and the winnings on their cards to prove it.

I have to admit that I hoped that Tiger, a three-year-old by Warrior – the lovely stallion

I hope people’s Ideas about sales, or at least the ones lIke

ours, wIll change. we knew every horse well and were totally honest In our descrIptIons Shirley Light

we sold to Jamal Rahimov, who competed him for Azerbaijan at the London Olympics – wouldn’t meet his reserve. But fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, a serious buyer also recognised Tiger’s potential and I reckon this horse really is a likely superstar.

I hope that people’s ideas about sales, or at least the ones like ours, will change. We knew every horse well and were totally honest in our descriptions and where we thought their futures lie. Every one had been through a two- or five-stage vetting, as appropriate, and were open to farther vetting on the day.

Every ridden horse in the sale was fully shod, recently wormed and had had its teeth done in the last four weeks. All the ridden horses were open to ridden trials by potential buyers beforehand, though we had to say that if we felt someone wasn’t ready for a particular horse we wouldn’t let them try it.

That was to protect everyone involved, though there was only a handful of people that, in the nicest possible way, we had to turn down. This was simply because the horses

were either too green or too big for potential buyers; we were trying to help people find the right horses for them, not just sell any horse to any buyer.

Organising it all was hard work. Getting the horses themselves ready was actually OK, as I have a brilliant team. The catalogue was hard work – I’m not much of a typist – and the videos were the hardest of all, though we got there in the end.

And horses being horses, there’s always one who interrupts your plans. One of our field horses, who wasn’t entered in the sale, developed a foot abscess on what was our busiest week ever. She’s fine now, though.

Will we do it again? More than likely! We’ve kept all the signs and the posh headcollars and a lot of people have said we need to have a repeat performance. Several have messaged me to say they were too shy to put up their hands, but that now they’ve been to one, they’ll definitely be braver next time.

As there’s no peace for the wicked, I’ll be concentrating on our four-year-olds and the stallions at Stallion Showcase GB – and then I go on holiday! I’m also looking for a new stable jockey, as Lou (Louise Pavitt) is going to be a Yummy Mummy.

What will I do without her? Probably have a quiet time! Seriously, she’s a hard act to follow.

Until next time, be lucky! HD

l “If you’re looking to buy and bring on a young horse, you’ve got to have ‘feel’,” says Shirley. “There’s a difference between a young horse who is having a look at something and one who’s taking the Mick!”

Having a horse vetted before you buy him is an essential safeguard. Here, we explain the different stages

Vetting explained

Words: Jane Carley The examinationThe standard examination is conducted in five stages, although the first two stages may also be performed as a stand-alone examination – or a ‘two-stage vetting’.

There are limitations to the examination, not least that it provides a picture on one day only, and can’t reveal if the horse has been lame or will be in the future. It also doesn’t include a pregnancy test, and vets won’t provide a height measurement, as this must be done on a proper pad and can have a significant influence on the horse’s value.

Vices are not necessarily detectable during the examination. However, if vices, or evidence of vices – such as windsucking – are observed during the examination they are reported to the purchaser, recorded on the certificate and taken into account in the concluding opinion.

The stagesStage 1: Preliminary examination This is a thorough external examination of the animal at rest using visual observation, palpation and manipulation to detect clinically apparent signs of injury, disease or physical abnormality. It includes an examination of the incisor teeth, a thorough examination of the horse’s eyes in a darkened area and listening to the horse’s heart and lungs at rest.

Stage 2: Walk and trot in-hand The animal is walked and then trotted in

hand to detect abnormalities of gait and action. Ideally this is carried out on firm, level ground. The horse is turned sharply each way and is backed for a few paces. Flexion tests of all four limbs and trotting in a circle on a firm surface may be carried out if the examining veterinary surgeon considers it safe and appropriate to do so.

Stage 3: Exercise phase The horse is usually ridden and given sufficient exercise to allow assessment when it has an increased breathing effort and an increased heart rate. Its gait is also assessed at walk, trot, canter and, if appropriate, gallop.

Stage 4: Period of rest and re-examination The horse is allowed to stand quietly for a period. During this time the respiratory and cardiovascular systems may be monitored as they return to their resting levels.

Stage 5: Second trot-up The horse is trotted in-hand again to look for any signs of strains or injuries made evident by the exercise and rest stages.

If you’re selling a horse, in order to give the best chance of a successful vetting you should provide:l A clean, mud-free horse.l Somewhere flat to trot the horse up in a straight line. l For a five-stage vetting, somewhere to see the horse ridden – a field may be adequate, but a school is ideal.l A handler and/or rider for the horse.l A dark stable to allow examination of the eyes.l Ideally the horse should be kept in for 24 hours before the examination so that any stiffness/lameness that could work off with exercise is apparent.l For clear guidelines on the pre-purchase veterinary examination, which are summarised above, visit www.beva.org.uk/ppeinfo

Be prepared

The resultsThe certificate reports the findings of the examination, including all significant signs of disease, injury or physical abnormality. It also includes the examining vet’s opinion as to whether or not, on the balance of probabilities, those findings prejudice the horse’s suitability for its intended use.

If the vet considers that the horse’s clinical history represents a greater than normal risk of it developing future problems (ie recurrence or delayed consequences of a prior condition), this is indicated on the certificate along with an explanatory note. Despite such observations, the horse may nevertheless be suitable for purchase based on a risk/benefit analysis. HD

A five-stage vetting is recommended before you buy

Shopping for a horse is exciting, but where do you start? Heading for a reputable dealer or agent is an option with many advantages. Leslie Bliss finds out more

G oing shopping for a horse has been likened to stepping into a minefield, whether you choose to go down the route of buying from a

private seller, at auction, abroad or through an agent. This is not really surprising as we are talking about buying an animal with a mind of its own, about whose past and medical history often little is known.

There are several advantages if you decide to opt for an agent. For a start, any purchase will be covered by the Sale of Goods Act.

Also, you generally will have a selection of horses to try out in one place, some offer a trial period, others have an exchange or return policy and a good dealer is an expert at

matching up riders to suitable horses. Some even provide an after-sales service, ranging from advice to free lessons.

Because agents are selling horses in the course of business, buying this way gives you the right to expect a horse to be fit for the purpose for which it was sold, to be of satisfactory quality and as described by the seller during the sales process.

If it is not, the agent will be in breach of contract and the buyer will, in most circumstances, be entitled to return the horse for a full refund, and claim damages for any other costs which they have incurred as a result of the purchase.

Having said that, if there is a problem, it is

difficult to prove what was said. As a result, it is always a good idea to keep a copy of the original advert. In addition, equestrian legal specialists recommend writing down a checklist of questions when you go to view a horse.

Write down the seller’s answers and ask him or her to sign this to confirm what was said, before parting with any money.

However, be realistic in your expectations. Don’t demand a dealer puts in writing that they are selling you a bombproof horse; there is no such thing. You have to expect the unexpected with a fright-and-flight animal, especially when you change their environment and routine.

Buying from agents – how to get the best deal

BUYING ADVICE

whether they are on Facebook. Find out how long they have been established and talk to past customers. Find out whether they offer any kind of warranty or have an exchange or refund policy. You need to find out exactly in what situations these would apply and whether it means a refund or exchange for the full value, as these vary greatly from dealer to dealer. Check out the yard and look closely at the condition of the horses. Find out where the horses come from; some import all their horses from Ireland as youngstock through one supplier while others have contacts,

including breeders and other dealers, scattered all over the world.

Before you approach an agent, you need to have a clear idea of what kind of horse you are looking for and the best way to do this is to write down a realistic wish list, bearing in mind your budget and ability. A dealer will need to have a few details to be able to select the most suitable horses for you: your height, weight, an appraisal of your riding ability and ambitions, how many times a week you will be able to ride, how often you will have access to a trainer, whether you will be hacking, jumping, etc.

Being honest about your ability and experience is vital for your own safety as well as saving time when you are trying out horses. Once you arrive at the yard, a dealer will usually give you a chance to meet the horse before brushing down and tacking up. A good agent with never rush or pressurise you.

Bring your list of questions and always make sure you see the horse’s passport as well as vaccination record. These may also give

you information about a previous owner you could contact.

You want to buy a horse you will enjoy riding, so make sure the horse not only ticks the boxes, but also that you feel comfortable with them, riding and on the ground. If there is anything bothering you, try and work out what is making you feel this way.

If you are unhappy or unsure about anything, discuss it with the agent. A good dealer will provide you with as much background information about the horse as they can and invite you to come back.

As with every purchase, you should always have an independent vetting carried out by your own vet. Before you part with any money, make sure you have any warranty, exchange or refund policy in writing, that you have read any small print and understand it.

Things don’t always work out, even with the best will in the world, but a good agent will stand by their horse. HD

Finding an agentFinding a reputable agent is the key to success and this means investing some time in research. Word of mouth is always the best kind of recommendation, so talk to people whose opinion you value, especially vets, farriers and saddlers.

You need to find the right type of dealer as many specialise in the various markets. Who is the best agent for you will depend on what you are looking for? Perhaps you haven’t ridden for a few years and are looking for a safe hack with after-sales help. On the other hand, you might be after a tried-and-tested hunter or a grand prix dressage horse schoolmaster.

Some agents specialise in ‘pleasure’ horses, others in hunters, some in all types of competition horses whereas there are those who are discipline specific and a select few who deal with the top end of the market of a particular discipline only.

A good place to start your research is the Internet. Check out their website and see

Case study Having previously had bad experiences buying both privately and from dealers, Allison Paton was struggling to find the right horse for her then 15-year-old daughter two years ago. Allison says: “When you are looking to buy for a child, you have to be extra careful. It was my vet who suggested I contact Laura Barber at Chilver House Stables near King’s Lynn.

“After I had checked out her website, I rang her to discuss what we were looking for. When we went to see her, I was impressed with the yard and the condition of the horses; it was clean and the horses were all well looked after.

“Laura showed us a selection of horses. She had tested all the horses herself and has three children who all ride, which helped to reassure me that she understood my concerns as a mother as regards safety.

“We were after something my daughter would be able to do a bit more with in time and ended up buying a five-year-old 15.2hh coloured cob called Irish Jester, known at home as Ollie (pictured below).

“Laura was completely honest and told me his faults up front; that he could be boisterous and occasionally puts in a buck, but only through excitement and over exuberance, not nastiness. We also had a five-stage vetting.

“After we bought Ollie, he stayed on at Laura’s for two weeks, free of charge. Alice rode him in the school, hacked out in company and on her own as well as having a go at some jumping. This meant that by the time we got him home, she knew him quite well.

“Laura has a policy of offering an exchange if things don’t work out, but we can’t fault Ollie. He has just the right amount of sparkle and can jump four foot now.

“Alice has done everything with him from Pony Club camp to showing. Whenever we see Laura at a show, she always asks how Ollie is and, at one point, when Alice had lost her confidence jumping, she gave her a free lesson, which got her back on track.”

Alice and Ollie have won several local ridden championship titles and are aiming to qualify for the Royal Norfolk Show this year.

As we explore behind the scenes at well-known dealers’ yards, we meet Natalia Thorpe of NT Equine

You’ve got to be honest about what You’re selling and the

horses have got to be well tried and accuratelY described Natalia Thorpe

E veryone who watched the show jumping phase of the 2012 Olympic

modern pentathlon agreed that the real stars of the competition were the horses. Natalia Thorpe was watching with more pride than most, because two of the horses, Warrenstown Q and Trinidad, were sold through her Surrey business.

Both horses are also stars out hunting with with the Surrey Union. Trinidad, now owned by Nigel Morland, helped Hungary’s rider Adam Marosi to a bronze medal and won an international internet fan base for her honesty and ability over the 1.20m course and Warrenstown Q, owned by Katie Roberts, made a huge contribution to Polish rider Sylwia Gawlikowska’s final 10th place.

So does Natalia’s business, NT Equine, house any potential stars for Rio 2016? You never know, because although she sells everything from Pony Club ponies through hacking and Riding Club horses to hunters, she specialises in buying four to six-year-old ‘nice Irish types’ and producing them for sale as well as taking sales liveries and horses for backing and schooling.

“I mainly have ones with a bit of Connemara or Irish Draught, or cobs,” she says. “I love cobs: I’ve got two show cobs of my own, Toffee and my new maxi cob, Flirty Bertie, and they’re great ambassadors for me.

“People say, ‘I never thought of having a cob.’ But they’re such fun and can do any job – you should never underestimate them!”

Her dealing career started, she says, by accident. “When I was a kid I went through a variety of Saturday jobs and hated them,” she recalled. “I always had a pony and loved riding difficult ones, I was one of those teenagers who would jump on anything and loved a challenge.

“A friend suggested I rang one of the local

dealers and I started working there part-time. I thought I was never going to make any money with horses, though, and went to university.”

In fact, it was horses who helped fund her design and marketing course. Natalia worked part-time for a dealer in Sussex and, after university, took a gap year working on a yard with hunters and show jumpers. She had some boxes there, then finally moved to her present yard.

Her studies weren’t wasted, though. “It taught me about web design and marketing, all of which was really useful when I set up on my own,” she explained.

Now, she has a great team. She and Leon Garcia are the main riders. Leon enjoys working with horses in for breaking and schooling as well as teaching and both he and Natalia are keen followers of the Surrey Union.

She also has young riders who are still at school and help at weekends, just as she did. “The only way you learn is by riding lots of different horses,” she believes. “I won’t have anything with major quirks and Leon and I ride and assess everything first.

“But people have to learn to make mistakes,

within reason, and correct them. They also have to learn to ‘read’ a horse; we have all sorts on our yard, from Irish horses to breakers, so the girls are able to learn about backing.”

One of the youngest and keenest riders is Leon’s eight-year-old son, Luke. “He’s absolutely brilliant,” says Natasha. “He’ll ride anything – in fact, you have to watch him because he’ll try and climb on something he probably shouldn’t do!”

Her clients have a wide range of experience and ambitions. Some want to compete, some want to hunt and some simply want a nice horse to have fun with. She’s sold horses not only throughout the UK, but to France and Spain; one yard favourite, a cob aptly named Mr Yummy, is now enjoying life with his new owner in the Dordogne.

Sales liveries are another part of her business. “A lot of private owners are finding it hard to sell their horses, but we tend to have more success,” she finds.

“That’s how Warrenstown Q was sold; he came here as a sales livery and was exactly what Katie needed.” HD

TOP TIPSR

l If you’re a dealer you’ve got to be honest about what you’re selling and the horses have got to be well tried and accurately described, according to Natalia. “Depending on what they want to do, we let people try horses out hunting, or at a show,” she explains – so ask if this is an option if you’re buying from a dealer.

l Whatever type of horse you’re selling, you have to be honest and realistic about him. It’s no good saying he’s a happy hacker if he’s got the sort of brain that means he needs to be in a competition home, and there’s no point in saying he’ll definitely make a county show horse if he doesn’t have what it takes.

l When selling, you’ve got to market and match the horse to the right buyers.


Natalie’s business, NT Equine, is going from strength to strength

You’ve bought your dream competition horse and are looking forward to showing off his talent – but have you got the best equine health cover if things don’t go to plan? Check out our essential guide to choosing the right insurance policy. . .

Insuring a competition horse

A s with cover on all valuables, finding the right insurance for competition horses is one of the best investments you can make as it

offers peace of mind and a financial cushion when faced with rocketing vet fees.

Whether you own a show jumper, eventer, dressage horse, showing star, treasured hunter or riding club all-rounder, it’s worth spending

BUYING ADVICE

R

time researching what’s on offer and choosing which policy will suit your needs best.

Most companies provide insurance policies which cover different types of use, as well as cover for the market value of your horse, depending on his veterinary history, success and purchase price.

With equine insurance, as with most things in life, you tend to get what you pay for. Opting to buy a cheap policy to cover your

horse for claims for low level veterinary fees or loss of use may not be the best value or the best choice for every individual.

So how do you choose which company offers the best service for your individual needs? A good equine insurance company will pay out on claims quickly and doesn’t hide exclusions in the small print to avoid paying out in full on your insurance claim. They will also offer a helpful advice line and keep you informed on the progress of your claim.

Finding your way through the insurance maze isn’t easy, but word of mouth recommendations from other competition horse owners, or asking your vet’s opinion is a good place to start.

For high-value horses, you will be looking for the most comprehensive cover on offer – most companies will offer online quotes for horses up to about £15,000, but many will also have special policies for those valued above this amount, so it’s worth a call to their sales team or customer service helpline to discuss.

Which policy?As a general rule you can’t insure for a value above the purchase price for a horse/pony that has been recently bought. Your insurance company is likely to advise you that they can review the value in say six months when you

may have built up a successful competition record, which can be taken into account.

Most companies also offer customised policies which can be specifically tailored to owners’ requirements.

Starting with a basic policy, you can then choose to add on additional cover such as higher vet fees, permanent loss of use, personal accident and complementary therapies etc.

Basic policies will generally include mortality and theft as the starting point. This benefit will be the market value/agreed value of the insured horse and will be paid following the death or euthanasia of the horse or if the horse is lost or stolen and not found.

So that both the policyholder and insurer have a common set of guidelines to follow in the event of a mortality claim the British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) has put together guidelines for the Destruction of Horses Under All

Risks Of Mortality Insurance Policy. In all insurance claims of this nature, the underwriters have to be satisfied that these guidelines have been followed in the event of a mortality claim

Cover for vet feesWith the cost of vet fees at an all time high, having the best veterinary cover you can afford can pay off in the long term. Most insurance companies will offer a wide range of different vet fee options so you can choose which cover suits your needs best, depending on your personal requirements.

As your horse gets older however, be aware that vet fee cover may become more limited, and you may only be able to obtain cover for what is referred to as ‘accidental external injuries’ only.

With vet fee cover you generally get what you pay for and the higher level of cover usually means that you have a lower excess to pay, a higher incident limit, will include cover or complementary treatments and may have a longer period of claim.

Many specialist equine insurance companies offer specific competition cover, which has a separate scale of vet fees classified, which tends to be higher than standard policies.

Cost of cover will also be influenced by the

GOLDEN RULESR

l Make sure that the value you place on your competition horse is accurate and in line with the current market.

l Check if your policy insures your horse against third party claims in case he’s involved in any damage to property or injury to a person in an accident.

l Does your affiliating fee also includes third party liability cover or discounts for members?

l Does your policy provide cover for legal advice in the event of a claim?

l Depending on what level you are planning to compete, decide what level of veterinary cover you require, as well as the level of excess.

l Insurance premiums will vary according to the level and type of competition.

l Don’t forget to inform your insurance company as your horse moves up the levels of competition and training or changes direction.


with equine insurance, as

with most things in life, you get what you pay for

type of discipline, as well as the level which a horse is competing, as underwriters are aware that there is more risk of injury the higher the level of training or competition, and even more so in activities where horses are judged to be more at risk, such as eventing or hunter trials.

Also, if your horse is initially covered for say novice level eventing or dressage and moves up the levels over the years, make sure you keep your insurance company informed of his progress as this could affect both cost and cover and you could be risking any future claims.

In addition to third party cover, many of the affiliated governing bodies offer a discount for members, so it’s also worth checking out these recommendations.

Buying the most suitable equine insurance policy provides reassurance that if your horse has an accident, falls ill, is stolen or causes damage to someone else’s property, you can make the best decisions alongside your vet on the most appropriate treatment to help ease the path to recovery – without breaking the bank.

As a potential new horse owner it’s wise to be aware of your legal rights, as the experts at specialist law fi rm HorseSolicitor explain

Buying a horseThe basic rule in English law is caveat

emptor – let the buyer beware. It is the purchaser’s obligation to exercise due diligence and ensure he/she is

getting what he/she is paying for. However in the course of a sale the seller is not entitled to misrepresent. This means that the seller cannot tell lies to obtain a sale.

Unless a person has misled you in respect of something such as the health, temperament or ability of the horse that they are selling, a buyer in a private sale would have no recourse. Further, misled does not mean merely staying silent as to a known problem that the horse has – the seller would actually have had to mislead you and you would have to be able to prove the same in order to make a successful claim for misrepresentation. You would also have to demonstrate that the false statement induced you to enter the contract. This means you need to show that had you not been given false information you would not have proceeded with the purchase.

Due to the fact that in the course of a private sale you have no recourse if the seller merely failed to tell you about an ailment that the horse has, claims in misrepresentation can be diffi cult to prove. It often comes down to the buyer’s word against the seller’s. It is therefore advisable to have the seller complete and sign a form detailing a list of sp ecifi c questions in relation to the wellbeing, ability and temperament of the horse. Ask that he/she signs the same. If it later transpires that the horse is not as represented it is not a case of your word against his/hers as to what was said in the course of the sale, you would have evidence to bring a claim.

It is also advisable to keep a copy of the advertisement that was placed if this is how you came across the horse.

Take precautionsWe would strongly advise that you have the horse vetted and ride the horse a number of times in various situations prior to purchase. This is not a legal requirement but far too

often HorseSolicitor is contacted by buyers who are shocked to fi nd out that the horse they thought they were purchasing is not suitable. It is far better to spend the time and money ensuring as far as possible that the horse is suitable rather than having to seek legal representation having found out that you have bought a horse that is unsuitable or unsound.

It might be that the seller is genuinely not aware of any problems the horse has but that there are underlying health issues. As such, it is important to have a horse vetted prior to purchase to ensure, as far as is possible, that you are not going to run into problems. This is not a legal requirement but as specialist equine solicitors we regularly have enquiries from individuals that have bought a horse without having had it vetted wanting to know what their legal rights are. We are often asked whether or not the horse can be returned when a problem arises. Clearly if the horse was purchased in the course of a private sale and there are no grounds for a claim in misrepresentation we are unable to assist.

A veterinary examination is not expensive when compared to the potential vet bills that could be incurred by failing to proceed with a vetting. Further the cost of keeping a horse that cannot be ridden can be extremely frustrating when you are told that a veterinary examination could have avoided this.

If the vet misses something that he/she

should have spotted on a veterinary examination you would potentially have a case for professional negligence. We regularly deal with such matters and would always advise that you ensure that the horse is vetted by a specialist equine vet as opposed to a vet who also deals in small animals.

Buying from a dealerWhen the seller is selling in the course of business, the harshness of the rule caveat emptor is tempered by the Sale of Goods Act 1979, which implies into the contract various terms to ensure that the goods are of satisfactory quality.

Goods are deemed of satisfactory quality if they meet the standard that a reasonable person would regard as satisfactory, taking account of any description of the goods, the price and all the other relevant circumstances. If for example a horse was purchased from a dealer as a competition horse in the course of business and it transpired that the horse would not load on to a trailer/lorry there would be a potential claim under the Sales of Goods Act.

The argument would be that the horse is not fi t for purpose because the dealer was aware that you intended competing the horse yet you are unable to transport it to a show.

You have far more protection when buying from a dealer than you do when buying from a

private seller. This does not mean that the precautions stated above should not be taken. You do not always know whether or not the dealer would have the means to pay out were you to bring a claim against him/her and it always best to avoid litigation when possible.

When things go wrongIf you have taken the above steps yet you still find yourself in the unfortunate position of having to pursue a claim, you will be pleased to hear that the majority of claims settle out of court. Whether you are pursuing a dealer under the Sales of Goods Act or a claim for misrepresentation if your losses are in excess of £5,000 you would be able to instruct a solicitor on a no-win no-fee basis providing the solicitor deems you to have above a 50% prospect of success.

If the claim proves successful you should be entitled to keep 100% of your compensation and the solicitor should recover his/her costs from your opponent. If you were unsuccessful the solicitor should write off his/her costs and you should pay nothing.

If you paid less than £5,000 for the horse the solicitor would not be entitled to recover his/

her costs from the other side which means that you may wish to pursue the matter yourself through the small claims court rather than paying a solicitor to act on a private hourly rate.

Alternatively if you have home contents insurance or other insurance policies you may well benefit from free legal expense cover, which means that providing the panel firm of solicitors informs the insurer that you have above 50% prospects of success they should act for you for free even if your loss is not above £5,000.

Passport controlHaving bought the horse, it is vital you notify the Horse Passport Agency to avoid a fine. It is also advisable to ensure that you have adequate public liability insurance in place. While this is not a legal requisite, failure to do so may result in you becoming personally liable for a claim were your horse to cause a serious accident. While some people are hesitant to take out insurance because they feel that insurance companies may look for a way of avoiding payment, providing you have not misrepresented

anything to them and under the terms of the contract you have a valid claim there are ways of enforcing compensation for breach of contract.

As a horse owner you will of course have responsibilities under the Animal Welfare Act 2006. Failure to adhere to the welfare requirements stipulated within the Act can result in a maximum fine of £20,000 or sentence of up to six months in prison. HD

If you keep your horse stabled for part of the time during winter, bedding may be one of your largest routine costs. Choosing the right one depends on

several factors, so how do you work out which is right for you? We’ve analysed the pros and possible cons of popular types of bedding, plus some you might not have thought of. And as any bedding is only as good as the person managing it, we’ve also got some top buying and mucking out tips.

Bedding basicsWhether you’ve got a yard full of competition horses or are a one-horse owner, some factors always apply…l You need to keep your horse’s airspace as

free from dust and mould spores as possible. Bedding is just one part of the picture – but it’s an important one. Researchers estimate that recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) affects up to 80 per cent of equines, and don’t forget your own health, too. Breathing in dust, spores and ammonia is as harmful to you as to your horse!l Does your stable have good drainage? This

will improve your horse’s environment and save on bedding costs.

BUYERS’ GUIDE

R

Which bedding?l Are you putting your back into it? Some

materials are heavier to lift when wet and if you already suffer from back problems, this can exacerbate them.l Are you short on storage space? Some

products take up less room than others or are packaged so they can be stored outside.l Do you use rubber matting? It’s a much

warmer base than concrete and helps prevent the risk of capped hocks and elbows. Some horses will scrape through to the fl oor no matter how much bedding you put in and matting is a great safeguard.l Does your horse eat a particular type

of bedding? As well as supplying ad lib forage, you may need to change to bedding that has been treated to make it unpalatable but safe, or use a specially formulated product to achieve the same result.l Ask friends about their experiences. You

can also look on internet forums, but if any posters seem particularly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about one particular product, check their history – if they’ve only posted about one particular brand and haven’t become involved in other discussions, could they be connected with that company?

Expert advice to help you choose the right bedding to suit your horse, your budget and your yard’s set-up

TOP TIPSR

l Check coverage and absorbency rather than unit weight. For instance, a 15g bag of wood or straw pellets won’t look very impressive when put down, but when the wood pellets have been sprayed with water they’ll fluff up to give much greater coverage. Likewise, straw pellets break down as the horse moves around.

l Unit price doesn’t always equate with overall value. A £6.50 bale of bedding may seem great value compared to one priced at £10, but if you need to use two of the cheaper one per week and only one of the more expensive kind the sum adds up differently.

l Disposal costs can add to your bill. Bedding materials that break down easily and reduce the amount of disposable material can save money in the long term, even if they seem more expensive to buy.

l If you keep your horse out during the day and in at night, it will usually take about a month to see if a type of bedding works for you. Buy enough for a test period first, but if you re-order, buy as much as you can or join forces with others on your yard – you should get discount for large quantities.

l Put down a dense bed to start with and it will be easier to keep it clean. With some bedding materials, you can get away with taking out droppings as often as possible and removing wet patches weekly.

l Others are best mucked out fully each day, so check before you buy. If you muck out fully each day, pile up clean bedding against each wall in rotation, so each part of the floor is cleaned and dries off regularly.

l Use the right tools for the job to avoid wastage. For instance, cage forks with built-up sides mean minimal wastage when mucking out wood or straw pellets and corn brooms are ideal for sweeping rubber mats.

l When possible, take your horse out of the stable before mucking out. That way, you won’t be exposing him to dust and spores as bedding is disturbed.


Wood shavingsGood quality, dust-extracted wood shavings are an established favourite. The best are made especially for the equine market from sustainable resources – you won’t be killing trees or using by-products from the building industry.

Shavings are available in large or smaller flakes. Some owners prefer one type and some the other, while yet more choose to mix the two. Larger flakes are sometimes

Straw productsMost vets don’t recommend conventional wheat straw because of the risks of dust and mould spores. It also results in large muck heaps.

Chopped, dust-extracted straw and straw pellets are a different story, however. Environmentally friendly, they provide a supportive bed and are absorbent and easy to muck out. They also rot down quicker than conventional straw, making for much smaller muckheaps.

Know your types

Many manufacturers now use oil seed rape straw as well as, or instead of, wheat straw as a raw material. Some treat their products with eucalyptus, citronella or lemongrass, which as well as reducing unpleasant odours are said to have benefits ranging from anti-fungal to insect repellent properties.

Examples include Belvoir Bed, Dixons Dustless, Nedz and Stablegold (pictured left).

said to be more resilient and smaller ones more absorbent.

Shavings are easy to handle and rot down quickly, though usually not as quickly as straw products. Although unit prices may be higher than some other forms of bedding, the coverage rate may mean you may get equal value.

Examples include Bedmax and Littlemax, Hunters and Snowflake.

Hemp and flaxSeveral companies now produce hemp bedding especially for horses. It is made from the inner core of the hemp plant and breaks down easily. If you need to keep the size of your muck heap down, it’s another material worth looking at.

Although it may seem relatively expensive, it’s absorbent and easy to handle and gives a good coverage rate – so in the long term, gives better value than you might at first think.

Flax is also a vegetable product, so breaks down quickly. It is said to be up to 12 times more absorbent than straw.

Examples include Aubiose, Hemcore, Equisorb and Flaxcore.

MiscanthusAs miscanthus is grown mainly for the bio-fuel industry, there is always a ready supply, though bedding is easier to obtain in some parts of the UK than others. Also known

Recycled eggboxesBringing a new twist to dust-free bedding, Walmsley Premierbed – makers of Premierbed Card bedding – now produce Premierbed Eggbox. Made from uncontaminated egg boxes and egg trays, it’s clean, dust free and highly absorbent and has been launched after months of testing. Find out more at www.walmsleypremierbed.co.uk or contact 0113 289 2053.

Rubber matsMats give a supportive base and can be used with any type of bedding. Some people use a small amount of bedding to absorb urine, but this means rugs get dirtier. The ideal system is to use a generous bed on top of matting.

If you choose mats, which need to be removed so that you can clean and disinfect the stable floor regularly, check that they are easy to lift out and replace. Check, too, whether your stable’s drainage system is better suited to mats which allow some urine to pass through and drain out, or which hold it on the surface to be absorbed by bedding.

Examples include Equimat, Fieldguard and Quattro (pictured here).

as elephant grass, it is a low maintenance – so environmentally friendly – crop which is chopped short and dust extracted.

Examples include Miscanthus Bedding Ltd.

Wood pelletsOver the past few years, wood pellets have been a huge bedding success story. Some are made from virgin softwood, while others are made from reclaimed, cleaned sources.

The wood is treated at high heat temperatures and then pelleted. To use, it must be sprinkled or sprayed with water, which transforms it into a dense, absorbent bed.

Easy to obtain and store, it takes a little practice to use it successfully – and you need to follow the manufacturers’ directions carefully. Once you’ve got the hang of it, it’s quick to muck out and results in minimal muck heaps.

Examples include Chapelstone Thirsty Bed, Liverpool Wood Pellets, Puffin Pellets, Thirsty Horse, Verdo and White Horse Bedding.

CardboardShredded or diced cardboard has taken over in popularity from shredded paper. The advantages are that it should be as dust-free as you’re likely to get and horses won’t eat it. Some types may be heavier to handle when wet than others, so check the manufacturers’ product information.

Examples include Ecobale and Green Mile. HD

Expert advice to help you avoid the pitfalls when buying an equestrian property that would make the ideal livery yard

Buying a livery yardWords: Suzanne Jones

They say never mix business and pleasure, but many livery yard owners have done just that – and successfully, too. So if you decide

you want your home and business in one place – and make it pay for itself – a livery yard could be the way forward.

Whether buying an established business or finding suitable premises from which to start your proposed business (with the relevant planning permissions, of course) doing your homework is a must. “When buying a livery yard as a potential business property, check the competition, location, clientele, catchment area and prices,” advises Graham Hain of Rural and Equestrian. “Does the property offer scope for growth should your plans change, how easy is it to obtain planning permission, and, importantly, is the yard full?”

Do your homeworkFacilities are another checkpoint. “Is there a manège, indoor school and horse-walker, etc, and are there enough properties in the area to support the livery business?” Graham continues.

The necessary planning, licences and insurance are must-haves, while financing the

purchase is probably the biggest point requiring research. “Does the livery yard need to be bought with a commercial mortgage or part commercial/part residential mortgage,” says Graham, who recommends doing your homework in the local area. “Is the yard well established, does it have a good reputation, and perhaps even a waiting list?

“When looking to establish a livery yard, all of the above applies, but it becomes much more business critical, as is a well-written business plan.”

Emily Cooper-Reade of ECR Properties makes a valid point on the sale of livery yards. “Most livery yards we have on the market are sold on a discreet basis, which is why it is worth a serious buyer contacting equestrian estate agents to let them know of their requirements,” she says.

“Normally speaking, livery yards don’t want to scare away their clients as horse owners may fear the unknown and worry they will not have somewhere for their horses.

“We currently have substantial livery yards in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex, all with good businesses in place.”

One such property is Overa Farm Stud in Larling, Norfolk, a successful stud,

competition centre, livery yard and retail saddler set in 29 acres with a pretty, thatched four bed farmhouse, 27 stables, two indoor arenas, a cafe and two outdoor arenas. It is marketed with ECR Properties [ecrproperties.com, 07767 327327] for £1,225,000.

Emily considers important features for a successful livery yard to be a good-sized, well-maintained and hard-wearing manège and good hacking.

“An indoor school is enormously beneficial and good access for horseboxes/trailers,” she adds, “and if you are looking to sell a livery yard, get the books in order – this may help future purchasers with finance”.

Stay within the lawKatherine Watters of Surrey-based Garrington Property Finders advises potential livery yard proprietors to stay on the right side of the law.

“One important thing to remember regarding livery yards is, although you may wish to consider utilising the facilities by taking in liveries, you must not fall foul of the law,” she says.

“Any premises offering livery on a payment basis is considered to have a commercial interest, according to the Riding Establishments Act, and a licence may need to be sought. The British Horse Society (BHS)

One Of Our key aims is tO

help equestrian businesses thrive Alison Coleman, BHS

offers an Approved Livery Centre database and will be able to provide further details.”

Getting BHS seal of approval for your business is a positive step to upping your profile. When it comes to finding suitable establishments to keep their horses, it is only natural for owners to want assurance their equine friends are in safe hands.

“The British Horse society may be the UK’s leading equestrian charity, but it is not our only duty of care, one of our key aims is to help businesses thrive,” says BHS communications executive Alison Coleman. “The best way to ensure this is to help them provide the highest standards of excellence and conform to the latest health and safety requirements.”

BHS approvalBHS approval means all the staff on the livery yard have met with their training and qualifications standards, they are insured for public liability, comply with the latest health and safety standards and are subject to strict and unannounced annual inspections. The grading scheme was set up in 2011 and there are now more than 1,000 BHS Approved establishments.

There are three levels of grading Approved [A], Commended [C] and Highly Commended

[HC] – the highest level that can be achieved.The seal of approval shows an establishment

has been assessed against detailed criteria, and recognised as being well managed, offering first-rate customer care, high levels of horse husbandry and general practice throughout. BHS Approval is good for the whole industry, good for the public and, ultimately, good for business.

The scheme’s aim is to give riders/owners the confidence they will be choosing a centre that maintains high standards of customer and horse care. Approved establishments also enjoy wide-ranging support, advice and promotion for their business.

The BHS Approval plaque is a recognised standard for quality and care and its purpose is to give recognition to centres that excel in a number of areas in their business and ensures clients can find a centre that fits their requirements. And the grading system offers all establishments the opportunity to

GOLDEN RULESR

l Facilities are hugely important when buying a livery yard, so bear in mind many prospective customers will be looking for a manège and well-fenced paddocks at the very least.

l Check whether the yard needs to be purchased with a commercial mortgage or part commercial/part residential mortgage.

l Ask yourself is the yard well established, does it have a good reputation, and perhaps even a waiting list? It’s important to be business critical and have a written business plan.

l Bear in mind any premises offering livery on a payment basis is considered to have a commercial interest according to the Riding Establishments Act, and a licence may need to be sought.

l If you need to add to the yard’s facilities, check the local authority’s stance on planning permission for extra stables, indoor schools, etc.


achieve the approval at the highest level, irrespective of size.

Approval is based on facility quality, not quantity, and must also conform to current health and Safety regulations. The welfare of the horse is of primary importance when applications are considered.

The inspection usually takes between three and four hours, and our experienced and knowledgeable Inspectors are happy to offer advice at this time. The initial application fee is a non-refundable £100, and should your establishment be approved, you will be invoiced for an annual scheme subscription of £252. For smaller livery yards with 10 or fewer boxes to rent, the cost is reduced to £189.

“Once you are approved you will be able to promote your business through the BHS website and publications and many invaluable benefits,” says Alison, “and by being the best, you will help everyone to enjoy the best horse experience”.

Other benefits include discounts on insurance with SEIB, bursaries for BHS exams, access to dedicated advice helplines on a wide range of equine related issues including VAT, rating and business support and further discount schemes. HDl For further info visit www.bhs.org.uk or call 02476 840506.

Whether you’re buying a horsebox or trailer it’s important to ensure it’s properly insured from the moment you drive it away…

Insuring your trailer or horsebox

H orse boxes and trailers are desirable – but sadly this means they’re desirable to thieves, too. And whether

you’re looking to protect your equestrian transport from theft or damage, the right policy is a must.

Most companies offer a mix of policies, from fully comprehensive and third party, fire and theft cover, which caters for ‘social, domestic and pleasure’ use, to policies covering business use of the lorry or trailer.

Of course, costs vary and will depend on the type, age and value of your transport, the type of use it will face during its day to day existence, where it will be stored and, in the case of a lorry, how many drivers will be named on the policy and their driving experience.

As with all insurance, it pays to shop around for quotes and compare policies – many people opt to pay slightly more to insure with a company that has a good reputation and can offer the back up of a team of horse enthusiasts who understand the concerns horse owners’ face and the types of transport problems they’re often up against.

Legal concerns You are required by law to insure your horsebox, however this is not the case with trailers – though it is recommended,

CheCk with your towing

vehiCle’s insurers that the trailer’s Covered for third party Claims…

especially as trailers can often be tempting to thieves and difficult to fully secure.

Before towing a trailer, check with your towing vehicle’s insurers that the trailer’s covered for third party claims – though this won’t cover you for any damage to the trailer or loss through theft. Separate trailer policies are available, so check online to see what different companies offer.

Companies offering both lorry and trailer insurance often offer breakdown cover too, so ask about this when you make enquiries.

Before you get a quote, make sure you have your lorry or trailer’s details to hand, including the make, model and year; any serial or VIN numbers; details of how many horses the vehicle’s designed to carry and what you’ll be using it for.

It’s a good idea to keep a copy of your trailer or lorry’s insurance documents either in your towing vehicle or the lorry’s cab in case of emergency. HD


GOLDEN RULESR

l While it’s not a legal requirement to insure your trailer, it is highly advisable in the event of theft or damage – and security devices such as wheel clamps and hitch locks may reduce your premiums.

l When getting a quote ensure you have all the necessary paperwork to hand – including any serial and VIN numbers.

l Enquire about breakdown cover, as many insurers offer this, too.

Expert advice to help you buy a lorry with confidence, whatever your size needs or budget

Buying a horsebox

When buying a horsebox it’s important to be clear in your mind from the outset what you need with regards to size and

on board gadgets. You might be blown away by a state of the art lorry, complete with living accommodation and en suite shower, but if you’re only going to be travelling up the road to local competitions all this luxury will be an unnecessary expense.

Instead, be realistic and ask yourself the following questions:l How many horses will I be transporting

at any one time?l How much can I really afford?l What am I legally allowed to drive?l Am I prepared for the substantial

running costs – including an annual plating (the lorry’s equivalent of an MOT) and servicing, etc?l Have I got somewhere safe to keep it?Once you’ve sussed your budget and needs, you can start flicking through Horse Deals or head online (see www.horsedeals.co.uk) to browse the lorries for sale ads.

Whether you buy privately or from a dealer is another point to consider.

Buying privately may bag you a good deal, but buying from a dealer offers you some protection, as well as a warranty. “When buying a lorry from a dealer you have implied and express rights,” say the legal experts at solictors SGH Martineau.

“Express rights refer to those that you expressly agree with the dealer, for example the price, whether it will be sold with a full tank of fuel and how long any warranty will last, etc. If any of these express rights are broken then you’ll have legal rights against the dealer. In addition, the law implies other rights into your contract of sale/purchase.”

In summary, the horsebox must be ‘as described’ by the dealer in his advertisement. So, for example, a nearly new lorry can’t be 10 years old, or a right-hand drive can’t be a left-hand drive horsebox.

The lorry must also be of satisfactory quality and ‘fit for purpose’. In this regard, make sure you keep written evidence of any specific purpose you make known to the dealer. Finally, the lorry must match the description in any brochure, including the

dealer’s website – for example a red lorry can’t actually be blue!

Buying 7.5 tonnersIf you’re buying a bigger lorry, the most important point to consider is whether or not you can legally drive it.

Lorries weighing between 3.5 tonnes and 7.5 tonnes can only be driven by holders of a C1 category licence – and anyone who passed their driving test for a category B licence after 1 January 1997 will not receive automatic entitlement to drive category C1 vehicles, so will need to take an additional test. For more on driver licensing visit www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/Driving foraliving/Drivinglorriesbusesandcoaches/DG_4022548

Weight is another big issue. The 7.5 tonne horsebox used to be the staple form of transport for every equine activity from hunting to showing, with the ability to hold ‘everything but the kitchen sink’ for if you had to stay away at an event. But many of these lorries were significantly overweight when loaded with three horses, the family, water and diesel, leading to safety concerns.

As a result, VOSA has clamped down on overweight lorries, and it is a common occurrence to be directed off the road and weighed. If you are overweight, the lorry can be impounded, which is at best inconvenient, and so a horsebox’s unladen weight has become a key selling point, with manufacturers using ever-lighter materials

and innovative designs to stay within the law.

When drawing up your horsebox wish list, be aware of unnecessary luxuries that may add weight. Air conditioning units, for example are very heavy, and how often are you likely to need air conditioning when away at shows in this country? Another

heavy item is an awning, which is not really essential for most purchasers.

Buying 3.5 tonnersIf a smaller 3.5 tonne lorry will better suit your requirements, a plus point is that anyone with a category B licence (an ordinary private car licence) can drive a lorry with a gross vehicle weight of up to 3.5 tonnes, making these vehicles more flexible for the average horse owner.

However, one serious concern for purchasers of horseboxes under 7.5 tonnes, which are subject to less regulation than HGVs, is their suitability to actually carry horses. So ask questions before you buy – for instance has the undercarriage and body been strengthened? HD

A smaller 3.5 tonne lorry may better suit your needs – and budget

GOLDEN RULESR

When you go to view a potential lorry, follow our guide to essential checks (or have a mechanic do it for you!):l Overall condition – look for signs of rust,

wear and damp and check the ramp’s in good condition.

l Wheels and tyres – check the wheel nuts and tyre tread depth, which should be at least 1mm or more, and have the tyre pressures checked regularly if you decide to buy it (a tyre centre will be able to do this for you if necessary). Check the spare, and look at the edges of all the tyres for signs of cracking or perishing.

l Battery – does this look regularly maintained? To reduce battery problems, many drivers clean and protect the battery terminals with petroleum jelly. Check too that the lighting in the living and horse area runs from a separate battery to the main lorry battery.

l suspension – check to see if the vehicle is sitting square or lopsided, and listen for any knocking sounds when the vehicle is in motion.

l the parking brake, or handbrake – check it works, and while you’re in the cab check whether everything appears in good working order.

l Brake systems – check for air and fluid leaks.

l tachograph – if there is a tachograph installed, check whether your planned use of the vehicle makes it exempt. If your vehicle is fitted with a tachograph but you only use the instrument as a speedometer, you must ensure all the seals are intact, and that it has been calibrated and fitted with both the calibration and K factor plaques.

l Fuel systems – check the fuel cap has a seal fitted and has no obvious fuel leaks. Check too that no black smoke is coming from the exhaust pipe, as well as the security and condition of the exhaust system. If you buy the lorry, the oil level should be regularly checked and topped up accordingly.

l anti-freeze – to prevent cracked engine blocks, burst radiators and split hoses, the anti-freeze level in the cooling system should be topped up regularly.

l Windscreen wash – has this been topped up? A mix of cleaning fluid, anti-freeze and water is best – and if you decide to buy the lorry you’ll need to make sure you’ve got plenty for the drive home.

l speed limiter – if the vehicle has a speed limiter installed, check it has the appropriate calibration plaque and seals.

l speedometer – make sure the speedometer illuminates.

l steering mechanism – check for obvious oil leaks and any unusual knocking noises when driving.

l Headlights and lamps – check that they work and are the right colour, and look for faded and broken lenses, or missing reflectors at the rear and side of the box.

l You’re insured and legally able to drive the weight of vehicle before taking it for a test drive.

ESSENTIAL BUYING ADVICE

How long have they owned the trailer or horsebox, has it been well maintained in that time and how often has it been used?

In the case of a horsebox, does it have a full service history and when does the plating and tax run out?

If you’re buying a horsebox it can be a good idea to run an HPI check (visit www.hpicheck.com for more on this), so ask the owner for the licence plate. This will tell you if there is any outstanding fi nance on the vehicle – or whether it has a dubious past.

If you’re buying a second-hand horsebox you need to ask similar questions to the ones you’d ask regarding a car, namely how many miles has it done and what condition is it in? Also, does it have power steering?

Whether it’s a trailer or horsebox, the condition of the ramp’s important – can one person easily lift it on their own? Are there any signs of rot or damage?

If it’s a horsebox, what’s the make of the chassis (as a general rule, buy the newest chassis you can afford)?

How has the horsebox been built? Is it a conversion, a new body that’s been built on to a second-hand chassis or a coachbuilt body that’s built on to a new chassis?

If it’s a horsebox, does it have a fi xed or tilt cab?

What is the height and width of the horse area (this applies to both trailers and horseboxes)?

Check the horsebox’s weight allowance

Buying a trailer

High tech additionsNew, innovative design features to look out for include:l Single trailers that provide more stall width than double models, and trailers specially

designed to offer a roomy, comfortable ride for two horses up to 17.2hhl Low side ramps and lightweight designl Trailers with the payload capacity to travel three horses in a herringbone (diagonal) patternl Improvements in suspension and axle engineering, which have improved the ride for horses

– with modern trailers no longer the noisy, bouncy modes of transport they once were

Expert advice to help you make the right choice when choosing a new or second-hand trailer

W ithout the huge running costs involved in running a lorry, trailers are often the common sense choice for owners who

enjoy the odd weekend show and need transport to fresh hacking country and the occasional trip to the vet’s, etc.

Whether you buy a brand new, top-of-the-range trailer or a rather more modest second-hand one is a matter of personal choice and budget, but with manufacturers bringing new innovations to the market all the time, modern trailers are becoming ever more high-tech.

With step-up ramps, state-of-the-art suspension systems and even live-in accommodation, today’s trailers are no longer the poor relation of the horsebox, and innovative design has been the driving force behind a host of exciting new models on the market – offering owners affordable options, while making sure their horses travel in safety and style. HD


GOLDEN RULESR

When buying a new or used trailer, important points to check include:

l Does it have the option of a front unload ramp, or just a rear unload? Some new designs have a side ramp to help make the prospect of loading into a trailer more enticing from a horse’s point of view; while rampless, step-up entrances are another new option on some models.

l How easy are the ramps to use and are there any signs of rot or wear?

l If you’re buying second-hand, has the trailer been well maintained? It’s easy to park them up and forget them, but it’s important they’re regularly serviced – during which a mechanic will take the wheels off and thoroughly check them, as well as the hubs and the brakes, and go over the electrics to make sure everything is working and undamaged.

l If the trailer has been parked up for a while, check the tyre pressures, look for any flat spots and make sure the walls have not perished.

l Check whether the ramp springs are well greased and check the ramp hydraulics are in good working order.

l Some modern trailers have aluminium plank floors, which are maintenance free, but check the condition of wooden floors carefully. Have a good look around the area where the horses stand to make sure there is no damage to the floor or mats.

l Check the the lights are working and have a look at the seven pin plug for connecting to the towing vehicle, as these can rust up.
