If the horse is not considered sound by buyer, the buyer has until Monday following the sale @ noon to have Colby Gines inspect the horse. Colby Gines will make the final decision as to the soundness of the horse. If the horse is considered unsound, the buyer will be returned his purchase price less fees. If Colby Gines determines the horse not to have the alleged defect, the sale of said horse is valid and enforceable and purchaser assumes all costs of examination, treatment, and sale purchase price. Soundness does not include injury in the trailer ride home or while in the new owners care. In settling disputes, the decision by Colby Gines is final. Soundness does not guarantee pass of a check by any vet following the sale. We highly recommend you calling the consignor, asking lots of questions, and going to ride and visit the horse giving you confidence you need to bid come sale day. Make sure you do your homework and shop the horses extensively. Pay for additional x-rays if you feel you need them. Ask questions about disposition, manners, attitudes, faults, riding ability comparisons, etc. Take advantage of the previews and pre-inspect horses prior to purchasing.

Consignor will be expected to take the horse back and give the buyer a horse that they claimed to have purchased. OR the consignor can refund the buyers money minus fees.
