Up-dated: The Center for Equine Health periodically offers horses for sale. These horses may be suitable for pleasure or performance purposes. The horses vary widely in age, breed and training. Some have been raised at the CEH and others have been acquired through donation. All horses are kept up to date on vaccinations, worming and shoeing and are handled regularly by members of our program. They tend to be well socialized.

Please remember that if you have a slower internet connection, it will take longer for your bid to reach the server.
