Some extra services and possibilities, buy and try.. / Invest in a future GP horse

Corona enforces the laws, everyone needs to slow down.  Let’s hope that you, your family and beloved ones will stay safe.    Grateful that  we can spend some time with our horses and ponies, and that our employees are allowed to help us to take good care of them.

But we are sure  that there will be a life after Corona.  Life goes on, and maybe you can spend time now to find your new partner on-line.

At the moment no external people are allowed in the stable.  Coming to try some horses, or presenting them, is currently not an issue. The work had already been done, the horses and ponies that will be auctioned on March 31, are all stabled at Stable Ceulemans in St Katelijne Waver.

Buyers that are used to work already with BHT, know that there is a good service, and now even more, seen the circumstances.

If you are interested in a horse or pony during the first auction, you can contact us by phone at 0032 474 898 552. We will give all information, how we estimate the horses, what kind of character, scope,.. . It is important that we can propose the right match to each rider the best we can.

We have often succeeded without seeing  the riders here.   For the auction of 31/3/20, the horses and ponies are supposed to be sold to children.  Because it needs to stay safe, those buyers have got  the right prior to collecting the horse or pony,  to ride under supervision of somebody of the BHT team. It should be possible to come over in a reasonable time after buying the horse/pony, let's say before 8/4/2020.  Owners of horses/ponies are allowed to come to ride their horses.  If the feeling is not good, the sale can be canceled at that time. Between the moment of sale and the moment that the government gives the green light to collect/transport, the cost of taking care of / riding the horse are paid by BHT.

We may have to withhold some horses or ponies as we build in that extra guarantee.  We are pretty sure, that someone is looking for every horse or poney in this auction. Therefore, it is possible that a pony or horse that will not actually be sold on March 31 will be presented back to the auction at a later date. The work is done, not only for making the videos, etc., but also the ponies and horses are ready to leave for a new home. Very sure they can make someone happy! The selected horses and ponies can be found at: www.belgianhorsetrading.com. The following days more information will be added, but with the photos and videos you can get a first impression.

We also look ahead to the auction that we will have on Tuesday April 14, 2020. Of course we hope that there can still be found a certain way, that the horses can possibly be tried by appointment.  The horses of the online auction between 11 and 14th of April, are meant to be sold to professionals.   Our team will give all the answers to your questions, to be sure you will buy the right horse.  We can't give any guarantee to test after you have bought on 14th of April , that won't be possible for example for a young horse that is shown in loose jumping.  We are just pretty sure, we have found really good horses, and we will give all necessary information. 

There are some special fine horses in between. More information will follow as soon as possible. We can already tell you something new about it. There will be the possibility that half of a horse can also be bought, as an investment. This will be under certain conditions, the horses will continue to be worked and stabled at Stal Ceulemans. There will be agreements with regard to the distribution of costs / revenues. Those special conditions will be clearly communicated. Nor will it apply to all horses, because the sellers must also support this system. The horses where you will be given the choice to buy either 100% or 50%, the suffix "Invest +" is added. When you place a bid, you will be able to choose whether you want to buy  the full horse for a certain amount X , or 50% of the horse fort he amount X divided by 2.

The horses selected in the Youngsters & Elite / Competition Horses category will soon be available on the website.

The horses that receive the suffix "Invest +" are horses where the BHT committee expects the horses can become Grand Prix horses. But for sure ,for young horses that needs some time, patience, work and luck.   

More info will follow later, the changes in the software will be carried out.
