Happy Sunrise Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Would you ever buy a horse through these sites? It is quite interesting to see what is on offer. Must be bargains considering the prices some of them are going for or is it a place for hobby enthusiasts only? https://horsetrader.kiwi https://standardbred.gavelhouse.com/catalogue/3/gavelhouse.com Standardbred 28 August 2019 auction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ihttps://horsetrader.kiwi https://standardbred.gavelhouse.com/catalogue/3/gavelhouse.com Standardbred 28 August 2019 auction Yes I have. Horsetrader - Bought a $1000 horse who won 5 for us plus a met bonus, a $2000 who won once. I look at horse trader most days. GavelHouse - Have looked but not yet purchased.But wouldn't be afraid if the right one was there at the right time. At least with horsetrader, there's often something there when you're ready to buy ! I also like buying out of Claiming races, but they are few and far between. Every low class race should allow a horse to have a claiming price, good option for owners to sell their horse, a little bit more work for racing club secretary and the stipes to check the claimers box. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GavelHouse I've registered as a buyer which is a simple process, but haven't yet bought so not sure of that process. I'm picking it would be pretty straight forward, pay-up and change of ownership papers completed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taku Umanga Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) I've bought four horses off Horse Trader and they won 13 races between them. Just bought my first one off Gavel House and the trainer reports she is coming along nicely (fingers crossed) - both sites and processes are very user friendly!
