If you have questions about bidding on a horse you did not apply for, please visit the office to discuss this or text Tinia at 304-784-4061
6. The ATFO horses are at different skill levels, so please be sure to bid on horses at the appropriate skill level for you. Understand these are green horses and will need continued training moving forward. These are not beginner horses. If you’re a beginner, these horses will not work for you, for the most part. Ideally, you will be planning to put your adopted horse into training or plan to take lessons after adoption, as 100 days horses are green. Please call Tinia if you have questions about what horses are adoptable at your skill level.
7. Please take this time to meet and greet the trainers, and do ride and handle the horse you’re interested in if the trainer and horse are free to spend time with you if you are on site. The event is Aug 19-21, so you have time to meet and greet.
8. If riding or handling, please do so in the barn arena near the entrance only or in the RV area.
9. You must sign the adopter waiver included in this packet and give it to the volunteers in the office. You can sign electronically if you prefer.
10. Please be sure you have transport arrangements made before bidding. Your trailers must be suitable and safe. You have 3 days before board of $25 a day applies. This needs arranged prior to bidding. Horses must have a signed adoption agreement before leaving HOP.
11. Horses will all be FREEZE BRANDED with HOP’s brand before leaving. This is not optional for any reason.
12. If you need a Health Certificate, please let us know, and this is a vet fee adopters must cover.
13. Fees can be paid to Paypal ONLY via friends and family to Equinerescue@live.com or in person via check or cash. Fees must be paid, if person, as soon as auction end. Via Paypal if by Proxy via friends and family. You can also PAY with a CREDIT CARD if you wish through SQUARE or Paypal. You must be sure to add a 3% surcharge if you use a credit card.
14. These adoptions are not purchases of horses. You are not buying a horse. Adoptions do not allow you to resale, give away or breed your adopted horse. Adopted horses at this event must be returned to Heart of Phoenix for a refund of this set portion of the fee ($600), regardless of adoption price paid if they cannot stay with you. These terms are outlined in the binding adoption agreement you must sign before adoption finalizes if you’re the winning adopter of any horse. The rest of the fee, if above $600, paid to HOP, if a horse is returned becomes a donation and is fully tax deductible if the horse comes back to us.
15. Please be sure you’ve visited horseandridermatch.com and read over the full adoption contract and policies before bidding (the only exception to the terms online is the maximum fee to be refunded on these horses, should a horse be returned, is $600)
16. Should you bid and retract your bid after winning and have not taken possession of the horse, you will still owe 50% of the fee if retracted within 48 hours of event end. If you pay the fee, take possession of the horse and change your mind, the fee is not refundable except the base fee of $600.
17. Should you bid on a horse you were not approved to bid on, you will not be allowed to proceed with the adoption
