Could anyone please tell me what the customary way
is to try out a horse?
This is where I'm at: I found a horse who
seems to fit the bill for what I'm looking for. The horse is located 4
hours away so I'd like to bring him back to the stable I plan to board at for a
trial period. I also plan to have him vetted out during this period.
So should I give the owner the payment in full even though the horse has yet to
be vetted out or do I post date the check? Or should I just put down a
deposit? If that's the case then what is an acceptable amount? And ,
since I'm asking all these questions how long do you think is a reasonable time
period to try out a horse?
Thanks !
Tracy
