We are unusual in the fact that we are a busy competition barn that is constantly producing 20 horses at any time. While all are intended for sale at some point in the future, the horses are not necessarily marketed as we like to have a bit of fun with them first! We train and produce them until they are very confident and ready to excel in new homes. We are extremely proud of the fact that most of our buyers are repeat customers or referrals from satisfied customers. If you are currently in the market for a horse and don’t see what you’re looking for here, we have many horses in the barn that are not listed but could be available if they met their perfect match. Send us an email at info@veronaequestrian.com and let us know what you’re looking for!
We’d like to come try horses! Any travel advice?
We are just 25 minutes to Cincinnati OH, 60 minutes to Lexington KY, 60 minutes to Louisville KY. If you are flying in, we suggest the CVG Airport just 20 minutes away. LEX is 60 minutes and SDF 75 minutes. We have a great local vineyard here in Verona and highly suggest booking their Air BnB and going for a visit while you are here!
Do you offer leases or trial periods?
Sorry, we do not offer leases or trial periods. Our horses are all in full training on our farm and are in high demand. We cannot send them off the farm for trials or leases as we are busily enjoying showing, training, and producing them in our program.
Do you require deposits?
If you’d like to do a veterinary pre-purchase exam on a horse you intend to purchase, we require a $500 non refundable deposit, which will be applied to the purchase price of the horse. That will hold the horse for 7 days to allow you to do a pre-purchase exam, review films, complete payment, and ship the horse. If horse is not paid for in full by the end of the deposit period, horse will be considered available on the market and the deposit is forfeited. Why do many sellers require this now? Because when we list a horse, we may get 200 inquiries on that horse. Taking a horse off the market means we are missing out on other buyers in that time period, not to mention the amount of time spent meeting a vet for a PPE and often the cost of shipping to them.
What if it takes longer than 7 days to ship the horse?
We usually find it pretty easy to ship horses quickly because we are located in Kentucky and many shippers are based here or have a regular route here. We are happy to help find shipping options for clients. Board is included for 7 days with the deposit. After that time, board will be billed at $25/day. Buyers generally want to get their new toys home as quickly as possible, and we appreciate that as well since stall space is always at a premium with a wait list of training horses coming in.
How can we pay for our new horse?
We accept wire transfer, Paypal, and Venmo.
