1. General Disclaimer
BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED serves as a classified advertising platform that facilitates the listing, buying, and selling of horses across multiple regions, including Europe, the USA, Canada, and other global equestrian markets. While we provide an extensive platform to connect buyers and sellers, we are not involved in the actual transactions, negotiations, or transfer of ownership of any horse listed on our website.
As a neutral third-party service provider, we do not:
✔️ Own, Train, or Manage Any Horses Listed – Every horse featured on our platform is independently owned by third-party sellers, including individuals, professional breeders, stables, and trainers.
✔️ Act as an Agent or Broker – BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED does not act as a middleman in sales negotiations, and we do not receive commission from buyers beyond the platform’s standard seller fees.
✔️ Guarantee the Outcome of Transactions – We provide the space for buyers and sellers to interact, but we do not control, monitor, or intervene in any sale agreement.
Therefore, users must be aware that BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED does not assume responsibility for any of the following:
✔️ Accuracy of Listings
All descriptions, images, pricing, and details provided in horse listings are entirely the responsibility of the seller. BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED does not verify or fact-check each listing before publication. While we encourage sellers to provide truthful and transparent information, we cannot guarantee:
- That the age, breed, height, training level, or competition history of the horse is accurately represented.
- That the photos and videos used in the listing are recent and truly depict the horse being sold.
- That the health status, temperament, and behavioral traits described in the listing reflect the actual condition of the horse at the time of sale.
📌 Buyers are strongly advised to conduct thorough due diligence before making a purchase, including requesting updated photos/videos, speaking directly with the seller, requesting pre-purchase exams (PPE).
✔️ Horse Health & Performance Guarantees
BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED makes no guarantees, warranties, or assurances regarding:
- The soundness or fitness of any horse listed for sale.
- A horse’s future performance in competition, training programs, or breeding programs.
- The horse’s suitability for specific riders or disciplines, including show jumping, dressage, eventing, hunter/jumper, racing, or pleasure riding.
- Any potential health concerns, genetic issues, or temperament problems that may arise after the sale.
📌 All buyers are advised to request a full veterinary pre-purchase exam (PPE), including X-rays and medical records, before committing to a sale.
BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED is not responsible for any horse that does not meet the buyer’s expectations post-purchase, nor can we intervene in refund requests or financial disputes related to unsatisfactory purchases.
✔️ Transaction Security
BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED does not process or facilitate payments between buyers and sellers. All financial transactions, including deposit agreements, installment payments, or final purchase amounts, must be arranged directly between the buyer and the seller.
We strongly recommend that both parties:
✔️ Use secure payment methods, such as bank transfers, escrow services, or trusted financial institutions, to minimize fraud risks.
✔️ Avoid cash transactions or informal agreements that lack proper documentation.
✔️ Establish a clear contract outlining the terms of the sale, horse details, payment structure, and any guarantees offered by the seller.
📌 BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED is not liable for fraudulent payments, chargebacks, lost funds, or payment disputes that arise between buyers and sellers.
✔️ Legal Disputes
Any disagreements or disputes that occur before, during, or after a sale transaction are strictly between the buyer and the seller. BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED:
✔️ Does not mediate disputes between buyers and sellers.
✔️ Does not provide legal support or representation in case of disagreements over a horse’s condition, refund claims, or contract breaches.
✔️ Will not issue refunds or compensation to buyers or sellers in cases of dissatisfaction, misrepresentation, or failed transactions.
If a dispute arises, we recommend:
✔️ Attempting direct negotiation first – Most issues can be resolved through open communication.
✔️ Consulting an equine lawyer if contractual disputes cannot be resolved amicably.
✔️ Contacting animal welfare authorities if a seller is found to have engaged in fraudulent, abusive, or deceptive practices.
📌 BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED has no legal authority to enforce contract agreements and assumes no liability for disputes regarding a horse’s sale, performance, health, or delivery.
BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED is a classified advertising platform, not a horse brokerage, agent, or intermediary. We do not verify listings, guarantee horse health, manage transactions, or resolve disputes. Buyers and sellers are solely responsible for:
✔️ Conducting their own research and due diligence before making a purchase.
✔️ Ensuring accurate representation of horses in listings.
✔️ Handling payments, contracts, and legal obligations independently.
📌 By using BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED, all users acknowledge and accept that they assume full responsibility for any horse transaction conducted through our platform.

5. Horse Transport & Export Disclaimer
BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED provides assistance in arranging safe and reliable transport logistics for horses being sold and exported internationally. However, it is important to clarify that our role is limited to connecting buyers and sellers with reputable third-party equine transport services. BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED does not directly handle horse shipping, nor do we assume liability for any issues that may arise during transportation.
To ensure a smooth and legally compliant transport process, all parties involved—buyers, sellers, and transport providers—must adhere to international shipping laws, animal welfare guidelines, and import/export regulations.
🔹 5.1 We Do Not Own or Operate Horse Transport Services
BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED is not a logistics provider and does not own or operate any horse transport vehicles, airline cargo services, or quarantine facilities. Instead, we facilitate the process by connecting buyers and sellers with trusted third-party equine shipping companies.
✔️ Third-Party Responsibility: Once a transport provider is selected, the logistics and safety of the horse during travel fall under the direct responsibility of the shipping company.
✔️ Service Selection: Buyers and sellers are encouraged to choose an equine transport provider with a strong track record of reliability, experience, and proper licensing.
✔️ Insurance Coverage: It is highly recommended that buyers and sellers obtain equine transport insurance to protect their investment in case of unforeseen circumstances during transit.
📌 BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED is not liable for any disputes, accidents, or service failures by third-party transport providers.
🔹 5.2 Shipping Delays, Injuries, or Health Complications Post-Transport
While we strive to connect clients with professional equine shippers, BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED is not responsible for the horse’s condition once it leaves the seller’s care. Any transportation delays, injuries sustained during shipment, stress-related illnesses, or post-transport complications must be addressed directly with the transport provider and the insurance company (if applicable).
Common Transport Risks & Considerations:
🚛 Shipping Delays: Weather conditions, customs clearance, or logistical setbacks can impact transport timelines.
🐎 Travel-Related Stress or Fatigue: Horses may experience dehydration, weight loss, or stress-related colic due to long-distance travel.
🩺 Injuries During Transit: There is always a risk of minor to severe injuries due to turbulence, improper loading, or handling errors.
🏥 Post-Arrival Quarantine Requirements: Some countries, such as the USA, require mandatory quarantine periods that can affect the horse’s adaptation.
📌 BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED is not responsible for the horse’s health condition post-transport and strongly advises buyers to arrange veterinary checks upon arrival.
🔹 5.3 Compliance with International Equine Import & Export Laws
BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED ensures that all international shipments comply with the legal import/export requirements of both the exporting and importing country. However, buyers and sellers are ultimately responsible for ensuring:
✔️ Valid Health Certifications – The horse must have all necessary vaccination records, blood tests (such as Coggins for the USA), and veterinary clearance.
✔️ Customs & Quarantine Regulations – Some countries require strict quarantine periods before a horse can be officially transferred to a new owner.
✔️ Breed-Specific or Country-Specific Restrictions – Certain regions have limitations on specific breeds or require additional documentation for breeding stock.
📌 BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED does not guarantee customs clearance or quarantine approval and advises buyers to consult equine transport specialists in their respective countries.
🔹 5.4 Responsibilities of Buyers & Sellers in Transport Arrangements
Both buyers and sellers must actively participate in ensuring a smooth transport process by:
✔️ Confirming Pre-Transport Health Checks: Before departure, a licensed veterinarian must inspect the horse and issue necessary health certificates.
✔️ Coordinating Quarantine & Legal Documentation: Buyers and sellers should work with professional equine shipping agents to ensure all paperwork is in order.
✔️ Selecting Reputable Equine Shippers: BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED can recommend verified transport partners, but buyers and sellers must ultimately finalize transport agreements with the chosen service provider.
📌 Failure to comply with transport regulations may result in shipment rejection, penalties, or extended quarantine at the buyer’s expense.
🔹 5.5 Transport Insurance & Buyer Protection
To protect against financial losses due to transport-related injuries, health complications, or death, BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED highly recommends that buyers obtain equine transport insurance before shipment.
✔️ Mortality & Transit Insurance: Covers death, major injuries, or permanent disability resulting from transport accidents.
✔️ Health & Emergency Coverage: Provides financial assistance for medical care needed due to stress-related illness, colic, or injuries.
✔️ Cancellation & Delay Protection: Refunds or compensates for unexpected cancellations, rerouted flights, or extended quarantine stays.
📌 BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED does not provide insurance directly but can recommend equine insurance providers upon request.
🔹 5.6 BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED’s Limited Role in Transport Assistance
BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED is only responsible for:
✔️ Connecting buyers and sellers with trusted equine transport specialists.
✔️ Providing guidance on export documentation and compliance requirements.
✔️ Recommending best practices for safe horse shipping.
📌 Once transport is arranged, BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED is not liable for any delays, injuries, health complications, or disputes related to shipping.
