A Note to all Consignors of Horses:

     We would like to thank you for consigning your horses to our April auction. Please find below a list 
of the paperwork you will be required to have for each horse you have consigned, as well as some other 
pertinent bits of information. We hope that this information will help us have a smooth running and safe 
horse sale.

REQUIRED FOR ALL HORSES (including ponies and mules & regardless of where you are coming 
from. Even if you are "local" the buyer may need to cross state lines or the Canadian border.)

           1. Negative EIA ("Coggins" or ELISA) test papers: Horses must be tested within 6 months prior to 
               date of sale. NOTE: Please have separate papers for EACH animal as they may not be purchased 
               by the same person.

           2. Current Vaccinations: PLEASE have proof that your horse’s West Nile Virus vaccinations are
               up to date! Flu & Rhino should be given not less than two weeks prior to auction.

ALSO REQUIRED FOR HORSES COMING FROM OUTSIDE THE STATE OR OREGON

           1. Current Interstate Health Certificate. Again: Please have a separate certificate for 
               each animal. (Photocopies are acceptable.)

ALSO REQUIRED FOR HORSES COMING FROM INSIDE THE STATE OF OREGON

           1. Completed Transportation Slip. (Blank slips may be obtained from your brand inspector.)

FURTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR REGISTERED HORSES (If you do not have the following 
paperwork, your horses will be sold as grade horses. NO EXCEPTIONS!!)

           A. Original Certificate of Registration - showing the seller as the recorded owner of the animal.
                (No horse will be sold as registered without the ORIGINAL certificate. NOTE: Horses will be 
                checked to make sure that they match  the description on the papers.)
           B. Signed Transfer Application. If the transfer is not up to date, any late fees or penalties will be 
                 charged to the seller, and deducted from their check.
           C. Breeding Certificate. Mares sold as "In Foal" must be accompanied by a breeding 
                certificate signed by the stallion owner.

           OTHER ITEMS TO NOTE:
   -ALL HORSES CONSIGNED MUST BE HALTER BROKE & MANAGEABLE! (A serviceable
halter & lead must be left with the horse unless other arrangements are made with the buyer. Otherwise, 
new ones may be purchased and deducted from your check.)

   -Registration Transfers. As per the rules of most registries, the fees for transfer of registration 
papers is the responsibility of the seller. These fees will be deducted from the seller's check.

   -Checking In. Horses may be checked in on the following dates and times: Wednesday, April 16th 
from Noon until 5:00 PM; Thursday, April 17st from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM; Friday, April 18th from 8:00

   -Pens. A fee of $15 per animal will be charged upon arrival. Pens are stout, ample rodeo stock pens. 
All horses must be housed in the sale pen area. You may not leave horses tied to or inside of trailers.

   -Feed & Water: YOU will be responsible for feeding & watering your own animals until they sell. 
This means that you will need to bring your own water buckets. You will need to either bring with you, 
or plan on purchasing here locally, adequate hay and feed to last your horses throughout the weekend. 
And YOU will need to see that your horses are fed and watered each day. 

   -Stallions. Please let us know if you are bringing a stallion so that we can arrange for any special 
stalling needs ahead of time.

   -Consignment Fees & Commission. There is a consignment fee of $25 per animal which goes
towards Vet  inspections. This fee is not refundable. The commission on all animals is 10%. 
A Fee of $75 will be charged, in addition to the consignment fee, for all "No Sales". Once your horse is 
consigned it MUST go through the sale.

   -Notice on Hitching. The Rodeo arena will be available for use in showing your horses to the public. 
Forecarts and a wagon will also be available. Horses must stay in the designated areas. Drivers and 
owners are liable for any and all injuries or damages caused by their horses. 

If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to call us! We look forward to seeing 
you in April for a great auction & swap meet. Thanks!
