NO SALE IS NOT AN OPTION, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO PURCHASE YOUR HORSE BACK FROM SUPERIOR MORGAN HORSE SALE. BUY BACKS WILL BE CHARGED THE SAME COMMISSION AS THE SALE HORSES WITH A BUY BACK CAP OF $1,000. If a horse becomes unable to sell because of death or sickness, a substitute may be used, but the sale committee must be informed and the substitute approved. A vet certificate of death, sickness or unsoundness must accompany the request. If a horse is sold or the owner is unable to make a substitution before the sale date, a fee of $400.00 per horse must be paid. ALL SUBSTITUTIONS MUST BE APPROVED BY THE SALE COMMITTEE.
All horses consigned must be registered with the Morgan Horse Association, or the Canadian Horse Registry, and all registrations must be in the current owner’s name and owner must sign the transfer before any money can be transferred. If a registration is pending, we must have a letter from the AMHA/CMHA with your consignment form.
The sale committee will be inspecting horses, however, the owner’s statement of soundness will be announced from the auction block. The Superior Morgan Horse Sale committee reserves the right to reject any horses for any reason including, but not limited to: unsoundness, poor physical condition, and improper documentation of health requirements, or registration papers.
All horses (sale, stallion, and transit) must have flu and Rhino shots within the last 6 months and no later than 21 days prior to the sale. This must be included on your health papers and signed by your vet. Each horse must also have a negative Coggins test within 6 months of the sale and an interstate health paper within 30 days of the sale. Canadian horses must have International papers for transport between countries. Please complete this portion on the second page of the consignment form. Please see the form for a checklist of vet work that needs to be provided at check in of your sale, stallion and transit horses. All mares sold vet checked in foal, if questionable, must be checked at the buyers expense before leaving the sale grounds. If found not to be in foal, it will be the seller’s expense. All bred mares must have a signed foal registration application.
We will sell horses in the order they appear in the catalog. If you want a pair of horses to be sold together, you must inform us when you send in your consignments. If you want to be stalled with another consignor, please state that on your consignment forms as well.
All no shows are subject to a $400.00 fee per horse, unless a signed vet certificate of unsoundness or death is received by the sale committee. Any outstanding fees will prohibit you from selling a horse until the debt is paid in full.
