All items to be considered for consignment must be clean, on hangers or neatly folded. In the event that items arrive in need of laundry or dry cleaning, the Consignor shall be responsible for all such charges.

Consignment checks will be prepared for each month’s sales and will be mailed to the Consignor by the 15th day of the following month.

Why Should I Consign with The Patchwork Pony?
-
We have a large storefront location and offer open and appointment hours seven days a week (unless we are at a horse show :))
-
We are located in an area with a very healthy saddleseat community, so lots of walk-in traffic.
-
We have customers all across the country, and we ship nationally and internationally.
-
Our store is located within eight driving hours of one-half of the US population and one-third of the Canadian population, so if our customers want to drive to our store they can -- and they do!
-
We are 5 to 10 minutes from the intersection of three major intertate highways (77, 64 and 79), which are often traveled on the way to shows (yes, even though we are in a downtown business district, there is room to park horse trailers within a couple blocks).
