Location: Freestone TX | And who controls the $200? Seller or Buyer? If Seller does....I can see that money going right into their own pockets. Then Seller refuses any future communication. Nope. Would rather see a right of first refusal on future sale. |

I would not buy a horse whose sale was contingent on the terms of this type of agreement. I write contracts for a living and have done quite a few sales contracts for friends and clients and this is definitely off the wall and unreasonable in my opinion.

Location: Slipping down the slope of old age. Boo hoo. | So... the next thing that will be in contracts is the required type / brand of feed... how much... the designated vet... size of pasture / paddock... type of bit.... ????
I would not - ever - sign a contract that required that I leave control of the horse with the previous owner. |

Location: Peg-Leg Julia Grimm | Even first right of refusal sucks. They jack the price up so you can't afford to buy them back. They were only worth xxx when you sold them, but now that they're 4654964561654 years older and in worse shape, they are worth 4 times what they paid. I don't think so. Just walk away and don't look back. Or don't sell them in the first place.  |

Location: Gainesville, TX | Interesting. Having worked for a rescue I imagine it started there. I think its appropriate for a rescue contract, a regular one, mm, maybe not so much. But if the buyer is willing to agree I don't know that it's my business. Everyone has the right to agree to whatever terms they want and ask the same. Anyone can refuse to do the deal.

| Thats crazy. Ive seen the seller have the first right of refusal. Ive seen sale ads have some funky wording lately...... Like you have to pay $50-$100 to ride the horse. Really? Good luck on that one. |

I agree. I guess it is the seller's horse and she can put whatever she wants in a contract and if the buyer is willing to agree to it then that is their business. |

Location: Texas | $200 won't even begin to cover humane euthanasia. It would cover the bullet, but not the gun. And even then, you still have disposal costs.
I wouldn't sign it, but I'd be surprised that it would be enforceable. If you want that much control, keep the animal. I also wouldn't sign it because I would be concerned about the headaches people like this would cause even after the sale. |

| I wouldn't even consider the horse, I'd just pass right on by their ad. I have bought a horse with a buy back contract before. Horse was at a farm where they "rescued". She was thin, covered in rainrot, absolutely no shelter and surprise found out months later she was bred by one of there many mutt stallions. I sold the horse later on, but not back to them, so yes I broke the contract. That was 6 years ago and never once heard from them and never will. |
