Hello Everyone, Giceli here from Double "S" Ranch. I'd like you to meet Ralph! We sold Ralph to Miss Donna just about an year ago and ,through no fault of his own, she has asked us to video him and place him on Magic Horse Auction site as she believes that he is something magical to have around (we second that all the way)!
**Please note that Ralph is boarded at the Double "S" Ranch but you will need to call Donna if you have any questions about Ralph**
Ralph has recently been ridden in the Withlacoochee State Forest in Florida on an average of 3-4 times a week, either riding in a group or out alone. In a group, he will ride front, back or anywhere in between. He is content anywhere! It doesn't matter to him. Out alone, he will travel at a walk on a loose rein or move out when asked. We have encountered deer, turkey, tortoise, and even wild pigs. In Pennsylvania we have ridden in the mountains on rocky, hilly terrain, crossing creeks and streams. Ralph travels well in the trailer, even long distances, and will load and unload without any problems. He has done several overnight camping trips both in Florida and Pennsylvania without any problems. He gets along well with his pasture mates and loves attention. He stands perfectly when mounting. Recently a trainer friend has helped me with teaching Ralph a great backup and to bump over when you are standing at the mounting block. He is current on all his shots, teeth floating, health papers, and Coggins. He is trimmed on a 6-8 week schedule with regular keg shoes and light borium for traveling on hard roads and stands quietly for the farrier. Don't miss your chance at a horse that is not only fun to look at, but fun to ride as well!
Please Note:
In the event of technical issues (site crash, server glitch, etc) within the last 4 minutes of the auction that prevent you from placing your bid, please contact Traci Roy (940-224-3036) or Jeff Peck (940-882-0269) within FIVE MINUTES of the close of the auction and we will continue the bidding via group text.THIS ONLY APPLIES IN THE EVENT OF TECHNICAL ISSUES BEYOND OUR CONTROL.
Auto Bidding:
Auto-bidding is available and is very easy to do! To place an auto-bid, instead of bidding the minimum $200 increment, simply enter the amount of your maximum bid (max bid). Doing this will automatically keep you $200 above everyone else until your max bid is reached or the auction ends, whichever comes first. You may also increase your max bid at any time without your current bid being affected. In the event that your max bid is reached and you are outbid, you will receive a text message letting you know that you have been outbid. This text will include a link for you to use to place a higher bid.
Buyers Premium:
Starting March 6, 2022 we will be implementing a 3% Buyers Premium on all sales.
Buy It Now:
Magic Horse Auction now offers a Buy It Now (BIN) feature on some horses. This feature allows buyers to purchase a horse now and not have to wait until the end of an auction. Our Buy It Now (BIN) option is only available at the sellers discretion. If the seller offers a Buy It Now, a bidder can purchase that horse immediately at a price set by the seller. When the “Buy It Now” button is hit and confirmed, the auction ends immediately and the bidder who activated the BIN is responsible for payment within 48 hrs of activation of BIN.
The “Buy It Now” option will be removed 24 hrs prior to the close of the auction, unless otherwise specified.
Time Addition:
Please be aware that if a bid is placed within 4 minutes of the close of the auction, an additional 2 minutes will be added to the clock to give any other bidders time to place their last minute bid as well. This will continue each time a bid is placed until 2 minutes has gone by with no new bids, at which time the auction will officially close.
Non Payment Fee:
Winning Auction payment arrangements MUST be made within 48 hrs of end of auction. There will be a $1000 non payment fee charged to the credit card on file of any winning bidder found to be in default. This also applies in the event of a bidder defaulting using the Buy It Now feature.
We're Here To Help:
We are happy to help any way we can, but for maximum chance of success, be sure you are pre-registered prior to the last 10 minutes of the auction. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to give us a call! We are here to help!
