As title really - how many people demand a trial of a horse (ie. a week etc.) before buying a horse? Do you expect to be allowed it on trial or do you make sure you ask the seller in the very first phone call if they're willing?
Just that I do not offer a horse on trial (after a bad experience years ago) due to the risk involved. But Ive had the odd person in the past who've wasted my time coming to see the horse a few times and then said they want him on trial. I say no and they then say they'd never buy a horse without one. If they'd just said they'd want a trial from the very beginning I could have saved everybodys time! Im just wondering if I should say in the very first phone call that I dont offer a trial as it sounds a bit dodgy somehow!
