BUY A HORSE IN PORTUGAL
We don´t arrange "buing-trips" on a regular basis anymore, as it sometimes happens, that two or more want the same horse. And I beg you to imagine, how funny that is! But, are you one or several persons wanting to come and look for horses, we will be happy to arrange a program for you and give you an exact cost, depending on what you want to include and where the horses are. It can also be combined with visits to some of the old prestigious studs, winetasting, culture, lovely shopping centers, etc, etc.
Just tell us your desires and we will do our utmost to fullfill them!
THE BUY AND VET EXAMS
When you have found the horse/horses you want, we proceed to the vet check, which is always paid by the client. A vet check including x-rays, 17, which we/you can send digitally to your vet or insurance company costs between 4 - 500€. If for a reason you wouldn´t need x-rays, you could have one with flextion tests and everything else for between 150 - 200 €. It depends a little bit on which vet and where he is. Hereafter, if everything is OK, you make the transfer of the money and sign the "Change of Ownership and the seller signs it too.
If ever you would like the horse castrated here in Portugal, it can be done in a clinic lying down for between 250 - 500 € or standing up for 250 - 300 € with all the medication included.
TRAINING CENTERS
Sometimes people might also like to put the horse with a good rider and come down and get acquainted with him, little by little and develop together. It also make things easier, when you come back home. He will not be a stranger to you and you not to him.
To keep a horse in training here costs between 350 and 600 €. There are, of course, more expensive ones, but then the horse might not often be ridden by the very good rider but by an employee or a working student and that is not what you want or pay for, is it. You can have a look under Training Centers, which I am going to develop more.
TRANSPORT
I do work with a very good Swedish transporter, but there are also others, depending where in Europe you want your horse to go. Contact us for prices. For the US it is a little bit different and here you also have to contact us, so we can give you an offer.
