WELCOME

journey today.

when Whiz N Tag Chex became a Million Dollar Sire. This
great horse has earned such a special spot in our hearts with

filing a Buyer’s Agent’s Authorization with Triangle Sales Co, Inc, and on the

as to performance soundness.
REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE CORRECTIONS It is the responsibility of Griffin
Quarter Horses to ensure that the Registration Papers are Correct. If, after

registration papers exists and it therefore becomes necessary to prepare and
submit a Corrected Certificate Form, it will be the responsibility of Griffin Quarter
Horses to do so in a timely manner with no added expense to the buyer.
MULTIPLE EMBRYOS The fact that a foal is an embryo transfer does not
necessarily mean it is one of multiple foals. The fact that a foal was born
naturally out of a mare does not necessarily mean it is a single foal. Neither
Griffin Quarter Horses nor the Triangle Sales Co., Inc. will be held responsible
for providing information as to multiple embryos (foals of the same year) and/or
embryo transfers out of mares or dams in sale; nor will either be held liable in
any way for buyer’s belated awareness of such information.
