​
Parties interested in these horses offered need to do their own PRE PURCHASE EXAMS if desired before bidding on any horses consigned. When the hammer drops, ownership of the horse changes from the seller to the buyer - a POST PURCHASE exam does not change the sold status of the horse, and any desired vet exams MUST be done before sale day.
​
We have the morning preview for all buyers to inspect horses to their satisfaction. This gives buyers the opportunity to meet consignors and/or agents and have their questions answered.
​
If you are bidding online and cannot make the preview, it is your responsibility to contact the consignors and/or agents to have your questions answered before sale day.
​
Please contact consignors with their listed phone numbers to arrange any PRE PURCHASE EXAMS. If a phone number is not listed it is an Amish consignor - please contact sale management to arrange PPEs on these consignments:
Dennis Raucher (417) 316-0023 or hlhorseauctions@gmail.com
​
Our consignors are proud of their horses and are happy to answer questions from potential buyers. We have their phone numbers listed in their footnotes to facilitate conversation. We are confident you will like this selection of horses - see everyone sale weekend!
