Photos taken by a professional are worth the cost and will also give you something to keep to remember your horse. If you have a horse at the local racetrack that you want to sell, your best bet is to call the track photographer and request that they take a photo of your horse during morning training hours or during a race. If you want to use photos taken by a professional from a show or race, you must
get permission from the photographer. Most photographers don't mind if you use their photos as long
as credit is given in the ad and you ask them for permission first.
If you are making a road trip to look at horses, use maps.google.com to get a map and driving direction. For hotel booking we like PRICELINE and for sightseeing information in Kentucky we recommend TripAdvisor.
If you need to arrange shipping or are just wondering what the shipping
cost might be if you buy a horse long distance, we have listed some
shipping companies that you can contact. Shipping arrangements and costs are generally the
responsibility of the buyer unless otherwise negotiated with the seller, so
it is a good idea to check on shipping before making an offer on a horse.
Need to do a pre-purchase vet exam on a horse that you want to buy? The local clinics
do very thorough pre-purchase exams, but you may have to trailer the horse to the clinic.
