Had an owner ask me to cover up a bad hoof before a horse went to auction
I refused the job since, from what I've seen, hiding a serious issue like that hurts everyone involved in the long run.

lucast73 has a point, those non-disclosure agreements only work if both parties can afford to enforce them. A bad hoof is usually pretty obvious to a vet or even a sharp buyer once the horse moves around a bit. Covering it up means the sale price is based on a lie, and that deal structure cameronwest mentioned falls apart when the truth comes out.

My buddy's old boss tried that, got sued after the sale.

Depends how you structure the deal and the paperwork. Plenty of clean sales happen with non-competes that hold up just fine. People only hear about the messy ones that go to court.
