Hello Everybody from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia -
We're again getting ready to accept a few good quality Fjords to sell under
our name
at Beaver Dam Farm. Each year, we tell those interested in sending us
horses that . . . .
'The Best . . .HighestQuality . .. . . No Problem horses sell the quickest
and for the best prices'. --
Last year was the most difficult year I remember to sell horses. For
whatever reasons (the war & terrorism threats no doubt) , people were being
very cautious. --
BUT! Last year was a great example of what I say every year to
people . . . .
"The Best, Highest Quality, No Problem horses sell the easiest and for the
best prices!" ---
Our customers expect the best quality, nicest horses from Beaver Dam Farm.
For years, we've sold some of the most wonderful Fjordhorses to be found
anywhere -- Our own home-breds, and our quality consignment horses.
Despite the poor economic conditions in the horse business last year, Beaver
Dam Farm still managed to do a good job for its clients. 90% of the
horses we sold were Consignment Horses. -- We only had two disappointment.
Both very nice, well-bred horse, but, unfortunately, without the proper
training and handling they should have had for their age level. ---- One we
trained and sold, but for a lower price than the mare would otherwise have
commanded. -- The other took longer to get ready, so the new owner elected
to sell her to us. The mare is now coming along nicely, and will be an
attractive offering by mid summer.
Selling a good horse is always difficult for the private owner. It's
difficult emotionally, and it's very difficult in a practical sense. --
Most private owners don't have the staff or facility, or advertising budget
to get their horse ready for sale. Many owners find selling
istasteful. -- Frankly, we love selling good Fjords. We enjoy putting a
nice horse in a good home. We love the new friends we make. It's almost
always a very pleasant relationship for us, and the new owner.
So, if you have a really nice horse you need to sell, and if that horse has
been well brought along and is well trained for his age, then give us a
call. We can do well by you. -- Please call to discuss our terms. We
want to work with you to find a good home for your good horse, and to give
you a good return.
We have a 350 ac. facility in which to train and showcase your horse. We
have trails, riding and driving arenas, obstacles . . . All that's necessary
to prepare your horse for sale. -- We have an excllent, experienced staff
to train your horse. We do extensive advertising as most of you know. --
We treat all the horses on our farm as OUR OWN horses. Every horse gets the
same care and treatment. ---- But most of all, we work really hard to do
the best possible job for both our buyers and sellers. You can depend on
Beaver Dam Farm. Hundreds of customers have in the last 25 years.
My goal is always to please both the seller and the buyer, and frankly,
that's an easy goal to
accomplish when I'm dealing with a High Quality/No Problem Horse. The best
horses sell the quickest and for the best prices --- even in a depressed
market. --- And by the way, the general feeling is that the horse market
is definitely turning around, and there's a trend towards buying quality
horses.
Kind Regards, Carol Rivoire
