Pre-Purchase Exams

Pre-Purchase Exams

When looking at a horse for purchase you should keep the purpose for which you intend to use the horse in mind. Not all horses are good for all disciplines of riding.  The expense of acquiring a horse can be quite high so we recommend that you have a pre-purchase examination performed on the animal prior to exchanging funds for it. An underlying chronic issue can become a long-term additional expense or even render the horse unusable.  We tailor our pre-purchase exams to each horse to give you a clearer picture of what you are purchasing. Evaluations start with a thorough physical examination and can include lameness flexion testing and joint radiographs and/or bloodwork and parasite testing.
