CRUMLEY EQUESTRAIN: HOW WE WORK

Crumley Equestrian is run by Ryan and Georgie Crumley. Ryan is an experienced equine agent and has competed at the highest level both nationally and internationally. Ryan travels regularly to Ireland to personally select horses for temperament and conformation. He has long-established relationships with proven sources in Ireland, and acquires all of his horses direct from farmers and private owners, never throught sales or auctions.

TRYING HORSES

We encourage all buyers to try any horse they are interested in without obligation, and we provide excellent facilities for doing so. We have a large outdoor school with coloured show jumps together with cross country jumps, excellent hacking in bridle paths and woods, nearby we have a stretch of road with good visibility where a horse’s behaviour in traffic can be assessed.

VETTING

You are strongly advised to have an independent veterinary exam before purchase.

RESERVES/DEPOSITS

If you wish to reserve a horse (which means we won’t sell him to anyone else), a deposit of £200 CASH is required. We have been forced to introduce this as a result of the many people who put in “firm” offers but then change their minds weeks later, resulting in lost time and money. The reserve deposit is refundable if the horse fails a vet inspection. PLEASE NOTE: a deposit is valid for ONE WEEK ONLY. We have new buyers looking for horses at all times, and we cannot hold horses longer than a week.

PART EXCHANGES

We occasionally do part exchanges, but only in cases where the cash portion is 50% or more of the price.

RETURNS

Once a horse passes its vet’s exam, we regard the horse as sold, and we have no legal obligation to take it back. However, we do not want a customer to have a horse that doesn’t suit them, so we will always try to exchange an unsuitable horse for one of equivalent value. The horse must be returned within seven days of the date of sale. No refunds are given.

DESCRIPTIONS

Descriptions given on our animals are based on a proper assessment by trained staff, and represent their opinion on behaviour.
