BUYERS INFO & CATALOG REQUESTWELCOME to PITCHFORK RANCH HORSE SALEWe appreciate that you have considered our auction in your search in finding a HORSE that will fit your needs and requirements. We encourage you to take the time to inspect, screen and ask questions about the horses that peak your interest. It is the Buyers responsibility to ride AND talk with the consignor about the animal prior to purchase. OUR SUGGESTION: If you are wanting a ranch or trail horse that is safe and sane, please consider as a scenario you are buying a Pickup or an ATV versus a race car, even though the race car is sleek and certainly has that cool look, you may be better off with something that has the versatility and undercarriage you may need for those rocky trails or steep terrain along the way. Buy a Horse that fits your riding ability! THIS IS NOT A BUY, THEN TRY AUCTION! This is totally unfair to the consignors and their business of selling reliable animals! We pride ourselves on working with the consignors in our sale as they have proven to bring the type of horses that are safe and sound and that our buyers need and deserve. We will be listing the number of year’s each consignor has been with us, thus verifying their proven history of sales they’ve had with our Auction. If you wish to obtain a PRE-PURCHASE Vet Inspection, it must be done PRIOR to the Auction at the potential buyers expense. We do not guarantee a buyers Prepurchase-vet inspection, we guarantee that the horses will be sound per our "Soundness Guarantee" listed below in the Guarantee Section of this page. Request a Catalog
