What is the standard procedure for placing a deposit on a sale horse?
Sellers generally accept a deposit of 10% of the asking price or a fixed sum between $200 and $500 to hold a horse pending a pre-purchase exam.

On-site trials lasting 1 to 3 days allow buyers to ride under seller supervision, often for a nominal daily fee or free of charge.
