Full training: Horses in full training receive work four to five days per week, at the discretion of the trainer. One or more training session per week may be substituted for a lesson on your horse at the discretion of the trainer. AnneMarie may use qualified assistants for grooming and exercising during the training of your horse. You are encouraged to check in on your horses' progress. Updates are always available via email or phone. Visits are encouraged! If you would like to watch your horse work, please arrange an appointment so that I can give you the attention you deserve.

$450.00 per month. (Horse must be boarded at Serenity Farm)

Partial Training: Horses may be eligible for partial training at the discretion of the trainer. Horses in partial training receive two to three days per week work. This option may not be reasonable for some horses. One lesson per week on your horse may be substituted for one training session at the discretion of the trainer. Please speak with me if this option interests you.

As selling agent for your horse: 10% of final purchase price due at time of sale.

Purchasing a dressage horse is a big step. This means that the purchase process can be lengthy and include one or more try outs of the horse, vettings, and price negotiatiation. As selling agent I will market, and present your horse to its highest potential. My knowledge of the market place gives your horse exposure to more potential buyers. Our professional presentation of the horse assures that professional trainers and knowledgable buyers will recognize your horse as a high quality prospect.

As agent for sale:

I advertise the horse on my website and set up advertising for other sites.

I show the horse to buyers at no additional cost, so long as the horse is in full training. (If not, daily training fees apply.) I negotiate price and circumstances, and act as the third party between you and the buyer.

I attend and arrange all vettings and hold the down payment until the competion of the vetting.

I arrange all transportation and housing for the horse during the completion of sale and until the horse is shipped to the new owner.

Other costs associated with selling your horse that is not covered by the commission:

Your horse must be fit and show ready. This means he needs to be in training or seen several times per week (at AnneMarie's discretion) to ensure that the horse is properly prepared.

Preparing the horse for marketing video and pictures. Photographer and videographer costs.

Specific ads placed on public websites.
