Re: sale of horses, Private Treaty
This message is from: ruth bushnell fjo...@frontiernet.net what the heck does Private Treaty mean. I missed the original post. Private Treaty is not at all an uncommon practice in the horse market. It simply means that the 'seller' and 'purchaser' will work out the details between themselves and not publish them. (just as with selling a house, or car, or..) This practice is especially common when a breeding horse is sold as there will often be a contract drafted along with the sale, representing both parties. It might include some restrictions, eg: number of times the horse may reproductively be used, kinds of mates not used, etc. It might include some stipulation for the offspring, require their registration, or maybe a buy-back clause if transferred, etc. It allows for dicker space with a party of your choice, rather than a flat price for one and all.. as you might not want to sell to one John Doe. There are unlimited possibilities for crafting a deal in favor of the horse.

Re: sale of horses, Private Treaty
This message is from: Karen Keith kkke...@hotmail.com Dont claim to be smarter than Fred, but I did go looking on Google. Here's what it says at http://horses.about.com/od/glossaryofhorsetermsp/g/privatetreaty.htm Definition: A private treaty is an agreement or contract between a buyer and a seller or between a stallion and a mare owner. The agreement is made directly between the parties involved. Breeders or sellers may wish to use a private treaty when they offer different terms for different situations. For example, a breeder may offer their stallion's services to purebreds, part-breds orgrade mares, or mares of a specific type or bloodline at different rates. This allows the stallion owner some control over the type of mares they will breed their stallion too. Mares that they favor may be serviced at a lower cost to the mare owner, than those they consider a less desirable match for their stallion. I guess the partbred and grade mare stuff doesn't apply to fjords, but you get the idea. Different terms for different situations. Karen, No. VA My answer is only a guess: Private Treaty...asking and selling price not revealed?? Now, somebody smarter than I am: answer the question...
