Buying a horse is a big commitment – financially and timewise. If you’re considering buying a horse that you’ve seen advertised on DoneDeal, please ensure to take the following precautions:
- Make sure you can provide food, companionship, and healthcare for your new horse.
- Check that the breeder’s facilities are clean and their animals are alert and healthy.
- Make sure the horse has a valid passport.
- Get written agreement that purchase is subject to a satisfactory examination by your vet within 48 hours of purchase.
- Check the ISPCA website for more information about owning a horse.
