Payment Plans

       We understand that the purchase of a Friesian or Friesian cross can be an enormous financial undertaking all at once. I do offer payment plans to spread the cost over a longer period of time. You do not gain interest on your remaining balance. You are never penalized for paying off the remaining balance early or making additional payments. Your down payment counts as a payment.
       The maximum payment schedule goes out to 12 months (1 year) of signing date. This is to make sure we have room to accommodate any new arrivals come next foaling season. However, this may be extended out further dependent upon if and when how many foals are expected. This should be discussed in advance.**
       Horses greater than 7 months of age are subject to a small boarding fee at the minimal cost possible of $100 per month. This is to help pay for the cost of hay and ongoing care. 
       We will pro-rate the boarding cost. If your horse only spends a few extra days with us, you will not be expected to pay for a full month.

       Having trouble with payments? Contact me about extending your current plan so that you can lower your monthly payments and still keep them on time. Maximum of 12 months total from signing date still applies unless extension time is available**. Horses 7 months of age or older will still have a $100/month boarding cost added to help cover the additional cost of hay and care.

Payment Types Accepted

       We readily accept several forms of secured payment for your convenience. You will be provided with receipts after each payment. At this time, we do not accept Venmo, CashApp, or Zelle as a method of payment.
  • EMV-Enabled Credit Cards
  • Debit Cards
  • Cash
  • Cashier's/Bank Checks
  • PayPal​
  • Personal Checks - Funds must clear to avoid a late payment fee. 

Buy-Back Option & Assisted Rehoming

       ​We understand that life doesn't always go as planned. If you ever find yourself in a position that requires you to sell your NorthWoods horse, please contact us. We may consider a buy-back option if space is available or we would gladly assist helping you find a new home for your equine.
