Thank you for attending the 2026 Diamond-McNabb Ranch Horse Sale. Please be aware of the following Terms and Conditions of the Sale, which will apply to all sales and which provisions are deemed accepted in their entirety by all prospective attendees, bidders and buyers. 1) Inspection. All horses will be made available for viewing and inspection prior to sale. PLEASE EXAMINE HORSES PRIOR TO BIDDING. All horses will have passed a basic veterinary exam prior to entry in the sale. Although efforts have been made to assure accurate representations of the horses’ current condition, history and performance record, all horses are sold “ as-is ,” except as otherwise expressly stated herein. From time to time, there will be announcements made during the sale that will modify the written description in the Catalog, or to make note of a minor injury like a scratch or bruise that occurred prior to sale. Please listen closely to these announcements, as they are included in the accepted “ as is ” condition of a purchased horse. 2) Representations. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN, DIAMOND-MCNABB AND INVITED CONSIGNORS HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

See section on soundness guarantee for full explanation. c. The horse is not a cribber. d. The horse is accurately described as to age and sex. In the case of stallions, this means that both testicles are descended on sale day. e. The horse has passed a Coggins test (obtained a negative result) in the 12 months prior to sale day. Coggins papers will be given to Buyer upon payment. 3) Bidding and Sales. The Sale is complete, and the risk of loss and responsibility for the horse pass to Buyer, when the gavel knocks. 1. The Buyer is the highest bidder as recognized by the Auctioneer. If the Auctioneer believes a legitimate dispute may exist between multiple bidders, the horse will immediately be opened to further bids from those bidders in dispute only. If no higher bid is made, the horse will be sold to the high bidder who was last recognized by the Auctioneer. The decision of the Auctioneer will be final. 2. All Diamond-McNabb horses will sell unless withdrawn prior to entering the sale ring, subject to the following: a. A minimum bid of $2,000 will be imposed at the Sale. Minimum bids will apply to horses age 4 and older. Any horse age 4 and older that receives no bid of $2,000 or more will remain the property of the seller. Sellers reserve the right to no-sale and retain ownership of horses 3-years-old and younger at any bid price, providing they do so before leaving the sale ring.
