OUR EXPERIENCE WITH HORSE BROKERS - SAMS STORY - DON'T HATE ON THIS VIDEO, IT NEEDS TO BE SAID, THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE BUYING AND SELLING HORSES FOR PROFIT AND A LOT OF THEM FALSELY ADVERTISE THE HORSE.  MY DEFINITION OF A BROKER IS ANYONE SELLING A HORSE TO PROFIT FROM THE SALE OF THE ANIMAL.  ITS PLAIN AND SIMPLE.  

IN MOST CASES YOU WILL COME ACROSS HORSES THAT ARE  SOLD ON BEHALF OF A FRIEND/FAMILY MEMBER. IN ALL THE HORSES WE HAVE SEEN, SOME WERE VERY TRUTHFUL.  BUT OTHER SHADY INDIVIDUALS WILL USE THIS AS AN EXCUSE TO SELL A HORSE THEY BOUGHT RECENTLY. LIKE REALISTICALLY IF I WAS SELLING YOU A HORSE THAT I BOUGHT LAST WEEK OR A MONTH BEFORE TO YOU WOULD I JUST COME OUT AND SAY "HEY, I BOUGHT THIS HORSE LAST MONTH FOR $500 AND I'M GIVING YOU A GREAT DEAL AT $2500 BECAUSE ITS TRAINED".  WOULD YOU BUY IT?

 HERE IS ONE EXAMPLE, WE WENT TO A FARM TO LOOK AT A HORSE. 
 ONCE WE GOT THERE WE RECOGNIZED SOME HORSES THAT WE HAD SEEN PREVIOUSLY AND WE KNEW WE WERE AT A BROKERS FARM. EVENTUALLY WE EVEN ASKED THE GUY, "ARE YOU A BROKER AND WHEN DID YOU PICK UP THIS HORSE?"  HE WAS STRAIGHT UP WITH US AFTER THAT.  SO HE WENT TO THIS SALE PICKED UP THIS $400 HORSE, TEST RODE IT, AND BECAUSE IT WAS TRAINED DECIDED TO TRY AND SELL IT RIGHT AWAY AS A TRAINED KID FRIENDLY HORSE FOR $4500. HE ALSO HAD SOMEONE ELSE SELL IT FOR HIM ON HIS PROPERTY.  

WE WERE IN SO MUCH OF A RUSH BECAUSE WE DESPERATELY WERE LOOKING FOR A HORSE THAT WHEN THE AD CAME UP WE JUMPED AT THE  CHANCE TO LOOK AT IT FIRST, TOOK VIDEO, SENT IT TO OUR COACH, THE HORSE WAS REALLY TOO MUCH FOR GABBY THAT EVEN SOPHIE DIDN'T EVEN TRY IT, OUR COACH TEXTED US BACK SAYING IT LOOKED LAME AND THAT IT WAS TOO MUCH GO FOR THE GIRLS. ALSO THE FACT THAT WE KNEW HE WAS A BROKER, TO US THE VALUE OF THE HORSE WENT WAY DOWN AND WE COULDN'T JUSTIFY SPENDING THAT MUCH MONEY ON IT.

HERE ARE SOME THINGS TO WATCH FOR:
1. HOW MANY HORSES ARE THEY SELLING?
2. ARE THE ADS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE? DOES THE PRICE IN THE AD NOT REALLY REFLECT THE QUALITY OF THE HORSE. MOST HORSES THAT COST 3-5K WILL NOT BE FULLY TRAINED. SO WHAT I FOUND, IS THAT THE HEALTHY, VERY WELL TRAINED, YOUNG HORSE WOULD BE MORE IN THE 10-20K RANGE, AN OLDER HORSE (16+) WOULD BE AROUND 6-10K AND IT WOULD BE VERY RARE TO FIND A GOOD TRAINED HORSE FOR UNDER 5K
3. DO YOU NOTICE THEIR NAME POP UP LOOKING AT OTHER HORSES FOR SALE (FACEBOOK IS A GOOD TOOL IN WEEDING OUT THE BROKER)
4.  ALWAYS TAKE SOMEONE WITH MORE EXPERIENCE LOOKING AT HORSES, FOR EXAMPLE A COACH.  THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO TELL YOU RIGHT AWAY IF IT LOOKS LAME AND IF ITS TOO MUCH FOR YOU TO HANDLE.
5. LOOK FOR THE LITTLE THINGS.  FOR EXAMPLE, AND I SHOULDN'T BE TELLING YOU SOME OF THIS HERE, BUT I WAS A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR FOR MANY YEARS BEFORE WORKING MY CURRENT JOB AND THE ONE THING I HAVE LEARNED THROUGH ALL THE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IS LOOKING AT THE SMALL TELLS SOMEONE PUTS OUT.  ONE THAT I SAW, FOR AN EXAMPLE, WAS WHEN I ASKED A QUESTION TO THE SELLER, THE OTHER PERSON  IN THE SELLERS PARTY GAVE A STRANGE GLANCE TO THAT PERSON.  TO ME THAT WAS A DEAD GIVEAWAY NOT TO PROCEED AND I SHOULD HAVE FOLLOWED MY INSTINCT.
