ring. Catalog number of horse is sale number. Buyers: All sales are final. The seller guarantees the identity of each animal as it appears on the registration certificate. All horses will be transferred to the person indicated on the sales slip. Cost to transfer ownership of the consignments to new owners will be deducted from the sale proceeds. Title passes at the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, at which time all risk and responsibility for the horse passes to the buyer.
Terms

supply one and charge the seller for the cost. No horse will be allowed to leave the barns
without a checkout slip indicating full payment. All horses must be removed from the barns

any horses for any reason including but not limited to: Unsoundness, poor condition, and
improper documentation of registration or health papers.
Sales Tax
Horses sold are subject to the 6% Pennsylvania sales tax. This tax must be paid by the
