This fee will be credited to commission if a sale, lease, or trade is completed by Stellar Farms Inc.
STELLAR FARMS INC. is a show barn and our priorities are with those that show. We will try to accommodate riders not attending the shows, yet due to the small and exclusive nature of our business, we will not always be able to teach those not attending shows. The horses not attending will still receive the quality of care maintained when we are home.
