Frequently Asked Questions
The term “bombproof” is an old horseman’s term that originally started with military horses to describe the ones that weren’t bothered by the bombs. Over the years it’s evolved into a generic way to describe horses that are not overly reactive to various stimuli. We are not saying that you can literally drop a bomb beside a horse and not get a reaction from it. What we are saying is that we seek out horses with dispositions that predispose them to being less reactive, and then we work with those horses to further that attitude. We can’t expose a horse to every conceivable thing that they might encounter in life, but we can test how they react to new things and help to show them how to react.
Once you've decided on a horse or pony, we have a Sale Agreement that we will email to you to sign and return. We prefer and most of our clients send a bank wire for payment, it's just as easy and secure as a check, but it speeds the process along and allow us to get shipping scheduled faster rather than waiting on an out-of-state check to clear.
We place ads and have sold horses in just about every state. Because of the way the horse websites work, there is no way to advertise a horse in Colorado in another state other than to list it in that state.
Without our advertisement you would never even know we existed. We state clearly on our website and most of our ads where we are located.
Also, Worry not about Shipping of your horse, we would handle that at affordable prices. We can’t wait to help match your family with the perfect horse! We work with families ALL over the country.
A lot of our customers always want to come to our facilities and try on various horses, we hereby make it compulsory to get an appointment scheduled with us before coming down so as to control the population of the people we have in the ranch to ensure we give the best services, effective horse trials , riding lessons and also offer professional training to interested customers effective 1st January, 2024. We no longer schedule appointments without a $500 refundable deposit on the horse you are interested in. Of course it can always be transferred to a different horse if you come and fall in love with someone else! It is also refundable in the unlikely event you decide not to purchase the horse.
A general rule of thumb, we ask for 5 days. Many times we can get the horse to you in 3 or 4 days depending on where you live, but we’ve found that it’s much better not to raise expectations and have someone disappointed. We have a trailer and well experienced driver for shipping horses to our clients. Prior to shipping we have a normal process to get your horse ready to ship. We have to obtain a health certificate from our vet, which can take a few days, before the horse can leave. During this time we prepare your horse for shipping with Probios and electrolytes, it’s also moved to a private paddock or stall, and will be groomed before leaving. We take pictures of all of the horses before they leave and once they are on the truck you will be notified and provided with the drivers contact information.
