Frequently Asked Questions

HOW DO I GO ABOUT PURCHASING A HORSE I SEE ON YOUR WEBSITE
In an ideal world every client would able to travel, see and try the horses and then make a decision. In this situation we can organise airport collection, accomodation and all trial facilities. In all our hectic lives, sometimes this is just not an option, when this scenario arrives we suggest you speak to objective people that have already purchased a horse from us. We will always provide a show record and show footage.

VET CHECK: PRE PURCHASE EXAMS
All of our horses are purchased with resale in mind, Maria is in the enviable position that both her sister (Emma Costello ) and brother (Ronan Costello) are both equine vets and so no horse is purchased without their prior approval. On sale of these horses we have a number of top independant veterinary hospital within close proximity that will take care of all pre purchase vettings...Clinical and Xrays.

IMPORTATION AND QUARANTINE
We have used Cooper Transport in Ireland for a number of years to ship our horses to US and abroad. Olivers attention to detail is second to none and both buyer and seller will be kept in constant contact throughout the journey. We will take care of all neccessary blood work and paperwork for each other (mare, gelding or stallion)

INSURANCE
We strongly recommend you insure your new horse from the moment you purchase it. We can organise this for you in your respective country.

ARRIVAL OF YOUR HORSE AT HOME
Having had all of the horses in our programme prior to sale, we will have pre informed you of all details relating to feed stuffs, normal exercise routines etc. Maria will know how each horse will act after travelling without work for a number of days and will always send an email prior to arrival on what best to do with your new horse for the first couple of days post arrival.

AFTER SALES
Maria and Seamus are always at the end of the phone to discuss any thing with regard to each horse once it had arrived and is now in your training program. After Sales is vital to the success of any business and we take pride in always being available to discuss anything.
