"Imagine this scenario "...
. . . You live in Napier and there is a very cool horse in Dunedin. The question is - do you want to protect your financial and time investment to try it out?
Trialing will involve booking your return Napier/Auckland/Christchurch/Dunedin flight, hotel accommodation, and a rental car to drive 20 minutes to where the horse lives. That may cost you up to $1,000. That horse being ready and waiting becomes very important.
For even a $500 horse-trial expense, be sure the seller has committed in writing to holding that horse unsold for you. Signing an agreement reinforces the sellers commitment to a limited hold time - and you commit to the trial.
Extend the friendly discussions by reaching out in a slightly more formal way just to check no-one is wasting their time and money.
Whip my FREE 'Hold' agreement off to the seller quickly- it ensures their commitment. And gives them confidence you mean business too.
All they have to do is sign and return it to you. You can then book your flights with confidence.
The likelihood of the arrangement turning to custard is vastly reduced. And it costs you nothing but a few minutes of your time.
Happy trialing, and may the weather gods be kind to you.
