This surcharge applies to any additional equipment you want us to ship for you ( bikes, shavings, muck tub, etc.).
Horse Shopping:
As always, when a horse is found & paid for, the buyer pays 10% of the purchase price as a commission & finders fee. To keep from raising my fee to the current industry standard of 15%, I will be charging for my time. This also incentivizes me to take more trips and look at as many horses as needed to find the right match.
Charges are as follows:
$100 per hour, not to exceed $500 per day from when I leave home until I return. If I take my vehicle, there is an additional fee of .37 per mile. Airfare, lodging & meal per diems are the buyer’s responsibility and are billed as needed.

Horse Show Paperwork:
You are responsible for your entries, feed & bedding orders for your horse(s), and ordering only for your stalls in a timely manner. The earlier we pay (not order) for our stalls, the better stabling location we will receive. Please DO NOT tell the show secretary how many stalls others in the barn will need; this only creates confusion.
TIEC makes it easy for me to help with your paperwork. However, you are still responsible for your paperwork. Please call Kelly with any questions.
Extra Stalls & Per Diems
The number of horses splits tack, Grooming, and Equipment stall costs at each show.
Per Diem, costs are split by the number of horses at each show.
No charge for Trainer lodging or meal per diems at TIEC. Out of town shows will be split among the number of horses. Any questions please inquire.
Thank you!
