PREVIEWING/TRYING HORSES

​

All horses that are located at Solo Select in Gainesville, TX/Whitesboro, TX are not available to ride before the sale. You may elect to make an appointment to view sale horses before the sale by contacting our office at 903-436-7021, however we will not ride them during that appointment. We understand some buyers do not want to purchase a horse without riding it first. We respect the decision and encourage them to shop with private sellers who can be more accommodating to their preferences.

​

PREPURCHASE EXAMS

​

We encourage all buyers to have the veterinarian of your choice examine any horse you are interested in. The Pre-Purchase Exam must be done PRIOR TO THE END OF THE SALE. You may call the office to schedule a time to have horses examined by a veterinarian. You cannot perform any Pre-Purchase Exams after the close of the auction. All horses are sold AS IS, WHERE IS with ALL existing conditions and defects. There are no guarantees, express or implied, on any horses. Veterinarian statements are provided but are NOT MEANT TO BE A REPLACEMENT FOR A PRE-PURCHASE EXAM. Radiographs are provided on riding horses, but findings are NOT READ in the veterinarian statement. It is highly recommended that a buyer do all due diligence prior to sale time, including, but not limited to: Pre-Purchase Exams, exams to verify breeding soundness, having a licensed veterinarian read radiographs, and any/all other due diligence a buyer desires. All radiographs and information inside the dropbox are NO LONGER AVAILABLE to the public after the lot closes. NO EXCEPTIONS.

PLACING A BID

​

MAX BID OR AUTOMATIC BID

* With Automatic bidding you can enter your maximum bid, then sit back and watch. When you set a Max Bid the auction software automatically bids on your behalf if there are challenging bids - up to your maximum bid. 

PLEASE Review your Bid BEFORE you click the BID button. 

Using the single Bid button will not be as quick as using the Automatic Bid.

​

WE WILL NOT RETRACT ANY MAXIMUM BIDS SET FOR ANY REASON. 

Due to slow internet connections, we cannot guarantee last second bids will get through every time, so please don't hesitate when bidding one bid at a time. We suggest utilizing the automatic/max bid button to ensure your bids are accepted.

​

LOT CLOSE TIME(S)/EXTENDED BIDDING
 

Each lot will close TWO MINUTES after the lot preceding it.

For example:

Lot 100 - closes at 1:00 pm 

Lot 101 - closes at 1:02 pm

Lot 102 - closes at 1:04 pm

Lot 103 - closes at 1:06 pm

...and so on - HOWEVER, if bidding is active during the last 3 minutes of the lot -  the system will go into EXTENDED BIDDING, and additional time will be added to the clock to allow the under-bidder to respond. Bidding will not close until 2 minutes pass without a bid being placed. Watch the time clock under the picture of the horse to determine how much time remains.

​
