Fiesta Stock Horses
Sales Contract

Last Updated On December 7th 2010 (Import Policy)
Buyers of a horse purchased from Ashlee (Fiesta Stock Horses) are held under this contract must adhere to all of the policies listed herein.

Buybacks Policy

All horses held under this sales contract retain a lifetime buybacks policy. This means, if you feel you are no longer able to keep the horse in question, for whatever reason, I retain the first right refusal to buy the horse back. When selling a purchased horse you must first contact myself to ensure that I do not wish to buy the horse back. If I waive the right to buy back the horse you may sell the horse, but must inform the purchaser of this contract and provide them with a link to it. All new owners are automatically held under this contract. No other contracts may be placed on any horse purchased from myself.

Updated Page Policy

Upon purchase of a horse from myself the new owner has seven (7) days to provide a complete and up-to-date page address. An up-to-date page includes basic stats (name, age, color, breed, parentage, etc) and complete and updated show records for the horse. Some leniency on updated show records may be given on a case-by-case basis. Pages may be checked and verified on a random basis throughout the year. If it is found that a page has not been updated in more than two-months the owner will be contacted and asked to update the page. If a horse is found to be inactive, and the owner is not on hiatus (whereabouts unknown) the horse may be subject to a reclaiming. Inactive horses are horses that are not actively showing, breeding or retired.

Owners must expect up to four mandatory activity checks per year. Two full weeks will be given to owners before pages are checked to allow time to update pages. After two weeks all pages will be checked and owners of horses with inactive pages will be contacted and notified that their horse is being reclaimed. Owners that are actively on hiatus will be exempt from this in most cases.(You will not be exempt if you've been gone for over six months and contact cannot be made.)

Stats Policy

Stats may not be changed in anyway. Exceptions are those who age by shows and heights of horses who have not fully matured. (Mature heights will always be listed when selling a horse, I do not list WMT heights) Stallions may be gelded after receiving express written consent from myself. To add to that, horses under fifteen years of age may be retired only with express written consent from myself. If a horse is over fifteen years of age my permission is not required to retire the horse.

Horses are allowed to be aged by shows, months, etc. Please let me know if this is the way you age. Please also note that I age by years, and no matter what your aging system I would prefer that foals stay no less than three years of age younger than that sire and four years of age younger than their dam.

Discipline Policy

Fiesta Stock Horses has a very important discipline policy that is different from most stables. Because our goal is to provide the Allsim world with top quality working western horses we require that all horses purchased must show in working western events (reining, cutting, reined cow horse, roping, etc) and ONLY working western events. These horses have been handpicked for their skills as a ranch-type horse and are not suitable for english or pleasure events. Some horses are suitable for speed events (barrel racing, pole bending, etc); and these horses will be noted individually. If a horse is found showing in english or pleasure events the owner will be warned and the horse may be subject to reclamation.

Showing Policy

All horses held under this contract must be actively shown at least three times a month, absolutely no exceptions unless I receive notification prior that you will be away. Horses MUST show with the RCHA. If you're having trouble showing your horse please notify me and I will consider putting it on my entry list for you. However, you are still required to keep updated show records at all times. I also prefer that horses show with the ASSHA and SHC, however it is not required.

Import Policy

Fiesta Stock Horses does not allow the importation of horses sold under contract. Some exceptions to this policy may be made, however most will be denied.

Return Policy

We fully understand that sometimes a horse just doesn't work out for you any longer. We allow the return of any horse purchased under this contract, no questions asked. Please be aware that by returning a horse you relinquish any and all rights you had as the horse owner. You may not place buybacks or any other terms on the horse at the time of return. If leaving SIM or going on hiatus, and in good standing with myself, you may ask for the horse back upon returning. I cannot guarantee that you will receive the horse back, but I will make my best efforts to comply to your wishes. This allows members who know they will be away but do not wish for their horses to go inactive, to know that their horse will be cared for and shown while they are gone.

Unfit Owner Policy

Sometimes we find that the people we sell our horses to are not the people we thought they were. I reserve the right to reclaim any and all horses sold to an individual if they show rudeness and immaturity towards myself and/or the SIM community as a whole. I do not tolerate owners who start drama or those who are a bad influence on the SIM community. I will not reclaim a horse just because I don't like you. It takes a lot to push my buttons but if you are constantly and blatantly impolite to myself or others your horse may be reclaimed and you will be barred from purchasing horses from me for and indefinite amount of time.

Reclaiming Policy IMPORTANT

Failure to comply with any of the above policies may result in reclamation of the horse. You may or may not be contacted if this happens, but I will make my best efforts to do so. If the horse is found to be inactive or with a broken link or out-of-date page the current owner will be contacted and warned and given two weeks to update the horse's page. After two weeks if the owner has not complied with the terms of this contract they will be notified that the horse is being reclaimed. I do make exceptions for members on hiatus or in special cases (ie. illness, work, school, etc), but if I find that someone is repeatedly violating this contract the horse will be reclaimed without any further warnings.

Blacklist

The following individuals are prohibited from purchasing horses from myself and any stables under my ownership:

Calista - acknowledges that she does not follow contracts and rarely shows her horses outside her own "privately" held shows.
