(be sure to attend the previews, look your choices over, and ask any questions you may have)
1. Persons planning to purchase horses in this sale for the first time should present letters of credit from their banks if personal
checks are used in payment. Anyone with account problems with Pitzer Ranch in the past will be required to pay for their horses
with cash.
2. There is no implied warranty made by auctioneer or sale company as to the merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose of
any animal in the sale.
3. The highest bidder is to be the buyer. If any dispute arises between or among two or more bidders, sole authority to settle the
dispute as he sees fit is reserved by the auctioneer and the decisions shall be final. Seller reserves the right to waive the sale of
his horse before it leaves the ring. The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any or all bids.
4. The Sales Management is not responsible for the integrity of any specific bid and the seller understands and assumes all
responsibility for any bid that is made and not thereafter honored. In the event any bid is not honored, the seller agrees not to
hold the Sales Management responsible and agrees not to sue the Sales Management therefore.
5. All horses are offered for sale according to the laws of the State of Nebraska and the right to bid is reserved for all sellers at the
sale unless otherwise announced.
6. Effort has been made to insure correctness of this catalog and, in most cases, information quoted concerning the horses is taken
from the official AQHA records. However, employees and auctioneers will not assume responsibility for errors or omissions, but
appreciate having them called to their attention. Announcements in the ring take precedence over printed information. Pay close
attention to the announcements.
7. The seller is the responsible party for all representations or warranties, expressed or implied concerning the condition of any
horse and buyers should satisfy themselves concerning the condition of any horse they purchase. Except as otherwise
announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, the consignor of each animal represents and warrants to the buyer and Pitzer
Ranch Sales to include but not limited to the following: 1. Title of the animal, free from all adverse claims to ownership, use or
possession. 2. The animal is sound of eyes and wind. 3. The animal is not a cribber or wind sucker. 4. The animal does not or
has not been nerved, have navicular disease, have ringbone, been foundered or any other pre-existing condition. 5. The sex or
condition as a gelding or ridgeling is as described in the sale catalog or announced at the time of sale. 6. Any animal which, at
the time of sale is described as a stud or colt and does not at such time have two testes descended to the scrotum must be
announced. Warranty with respect to descended testes does not apply to any horse sold prior to Jan. 1 of his yearling year. 7.
The horse does not possess the defect commonly known as parrot mouth. If any conditions are announced, the consignor is held
harmless for the condition.
8. All guarantees are made by the owner. Right of recourse must be directly to the owner of the horse. Make sure to pre-inspect
horses prior to purchasing.
9. All horses have been Coggins tested and found negative within six months of the sale date. Coggins papers given when horses
are paid for. We try to print or announce the HYPP status of all Impressive bred horses if known.
Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis Disease (HYPP) is a muscular disease. The results of horses that have been tested for this
disease will be noted in the catalog as follows: N/N -Negative for HYPP, H/N or N/H - Positive (Heterozygous) for HYPP. All horses
descended from the stallion Impressive that do not declare an HYPP test should be purchased as is. We ask consignors to
disclose all test results or treatment of suspect horses for this condition.
10. In the event a dispute should arise as to a particular defect which should have been, but was not announced as described above,
the buyer has the right to have a veterinarian examine the horse he has purchased to determine if the horse suffers from the
defect. This examination is to be made and Pitzer Ranch is to be notified before the checks are mailed. If the purchaser’s
veterinarian determines the horse to have alleged defect, the Sales Management, as agent, shall appoint a veterinarian of its
choice to determine if the horse has the defect(s) and if the defect was present at the time of sale. His or her decision will be final.
If the veterinarian determines that the defect was present at the time of the sale and it was not announced, the sale of said horse
shall be null and void and the consignor must pay entry fee and commission. If the horse is determined by the Sales Management
veterinarian not to have the alleged defect, the sale of said horse is valid and enforceable and purchaser assumes all costs of
examination, treatment, and sale purchase price.
11. If the buyer rightfully rejects the animal in the manner stated in #10, the animal will be returned by the buyer to the consignor and
the full purchase price of the animal will be refunded.
12. The seller guarantees all mares were bred to stallions as indicated in the catalog. We believe them to be in foal, but are selling
them as is and without return privileges, unless otherwise specified. Any purchaser of a broodmare sold in this sale may have
her examined by sale veterinarian prior to removal from the sale. Broodmares so examined whose pregnancy status is found not
to be as represented at the time of sale may be returned to the consignor as unsold and the consignor shall pay the veterinarian’s
fee for examination and is liable for the commission. If the broodmare is found to be as certified, the purchaser shall pay the
examination fee.
13. When a horse is sold, the buyer shall sign the Acknowledgment of Purchase which will be brought to him. Title passes when the
buyer signs this Acknowledgment. Name and address must be legible and complete and must be filled in each time a horse is
bought. This acknowledgment is to be filled out exactly as the purchaser wants it registered. We will not be responsible for errors
on transfer, if the acknowledgment is not properly and clearly filled out.
