Buyer's guide

Short ownership

The seller has owned the horse only weeks or months, or is selling “for a friend”.

Why it matters

Quick flips can hide a problem the seller found — or mean they can’t actually answer questions about the horse’s history.

What to ask

When and where did you buy it, and why sell so soon? Who knows its full history?
