Since those rules were not applied retroactively, those cheap races still get black type if they were run before the rules were changed, but now races have to carry a minimum amount of added money in order to qualify for black type. After You Buy Buying a horse is only the beginning. You have to do something with that horse that you've just bought. Unless you've brought your own horse trailer, you'll have to make arrangements for someone else to move your horse from the sale grounds. If you can't locate a vanner, check with the sale office and they'll help you locate one.
Experienced buyers start looking for transportation as soon as they've signed the purchase ticket.
It's customary for consignors to care for the horses they sell until the day following the sale, but they don't always do that. If you want your new possession to be fed and watered, you'd better make sure that the consignor will take care of it, and if he won't, you'll have to see that it's done. In many cases, the vanner who's going to haul your horse will see that the horse is cared for, but you have to ask. It won't happen automatically. Other than those breeding soundness warranties, you have little recourse if you find something you don't like about the horse that you've bought.
