Show and Sale Fitting
Whether you’re preparing your horse for sale or getting ready to make a great impression in the show ring, Black Hawk Equine offers specialized fitting services designed to enhance your horse’s physical condition, presentation, and performance. Our Sale and Show Fitting Services focus on making your horse stand out, ensuring it’s ready to meet the demands of the competitive market or arena—all while remaining in your care.
What Sets Sale and Show Fitting Apart from Consignment Sales?
Unlike consignment sales, Sale and Show Fitting Services focus exclusively on preparing your horse for its next steps, whether that’s finding a buyer or competing in a show. Here’s how they differ:
-
Horse Stays with You: The horse remains at your facility throughout the program, and we do not provide daily care or housing.
-
No Marketing or Buyer Communication: While consignment sales include marketing, inquiries, and buyer negotiations, sale and show fitting does not involve these aspects. You retain control over marketing or managing show entries and logistics.
-
Tailored Timeline and Scope: Sale and show fitting is a structured, 60-day program designed to meet your horse’s unique preparation needs.
What’s Included in the Sale and Show Fitting Package?
-
Custom Nutrition Plan:
We create a tailored feeding regimen to optimize your horse’s body condition, coat health, and energy levels. This plan ensures your horse looks its best, whether for a sale listing or in the show arena. -
Exercise Program:
Over the course of 20 training sessions, we implement a personalized fitness regimen to build muscle tone, improve performance, and refine movement. Training focuses on enhancing your horse’s abilities to meet buyer expectations or excel in specific show classes. -
Grooming Routine:
A polished appearance is crucial for both sales and shows. We provide a detailed grooming routine that includes coat conditioning, mane and tail maintenance, and hoof care to ensure your horse shines. -
