Hi Polly!
The show usually goes on most of the day, but as with any horse show it’s difficult to predict specifically when each class will enter the ring. We are still finalizing the plans for the show, but will post details as they are available on our facebook!

We just lost our horse. wondered if you have a lease program for 4-h. live in upper sandusky. also wondered what an average price of a horse during your spring sale.
Sharon Berberick - March 16, 2017 5:02 pm
Hello,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We do not have a lease program at this time, but we do offer summer camps at both our farms where a UF horse can be rented for use in our camp.

OK, beside pre-purchase exam availability, can you ride the horse(s) you are interested in purchasing before the purchase, if so, when is that opportunity?

Yes! There is an opportunity to ride the day of the sale prior to the auction beginning.

Ruth Smith - April 24, 2017 9:02 am
If purchasing a horse that will need to be shipped to Louisiana, can the horse remain at the farm past the 24 hour limit until the shipper can get there?
Sharon Berberick - April 24, 2017 10:35 am
Ruth,
Any horse that needs to stay- will need to make arrangements with barn management after the sale. Board will be charged for any horses who need to stay.
Trevor - April 25, 2017 4:08 pm
Do you provide or know of a hauling service that would haul a horse(s) to the Columbus Ohio area?
Sharon Berberick - April 27, 2017 8:47 am
Trevor,
UF does not provide transportation services at this time. We will be able to assist buyers in loading their horses, however.
UF does not endorse any shipper, and all shipping is done at the cost and risk of the buyer. If you are researching companies- one that you can look into is C & E Transportation to see if they would be a good fit for you. Phone: 1-888-265-3007

Will there be a vet available on sale day to issue interstate health certificates for buyers from out of state?
Sharon Berberick - April 28, 2017 10:01 am
Good Morning,
There will not be a vet on grounds the day of the sale. However, original coggins will be sent with each horse. If someone needs health certificates, they may call in a vet at their expense.
