Lippitts for sale

The sale ledger.


Lots run three months with photograph and full particulars. Sold horses keep their place for the season under the ink. With fewer than 2,000 Lippitts alive, a visibly moving market is the plainest proof of what these horses are worth.

Three sentences of honest horsemanship sell better than three paragraphs of adjectives: what the horse has done, what he is ready to do next, and what kind of home suits him. Video adds $15 and answers half the buyer’s questions before the first phone call.

This lot is waiting for your horse. Place it for $15; it also appears on your farm’s card in the breeders’ atlas, under a gold pin.

Sold lots stay posted for the season under a SOLD stamp; ask the registrar what has moved lately.

Foal Watch — the waiting list

Most Lippitts sell before they’re ever advertised.

With fewer than 2,000 alive and only a handful offered in any year, the surest way to buy one is to be known to be looking. Tell the registrar what you want (sex, age, purpose, budget, region), and when foals hit the ground or a horse comes quietly available, the waiting list hears about it first.

Join the waiting list

Before you buy

Know the type you’re buying.

Ten minutes with the standard will save you ten years with the wrong horse. Type first, then quality, and always ask for the papers and the DNA.

After you buy

Transfer the papers. Register the foals.

Transfers are $20 and registration is $45 complete with DNA. The papers travel with the horse. Make sure yours do.
