Pre-Purchase Exam and Vetting: Healthy Horses from the Breeder
We want to sell you a healthy horse. That is why we examine our young horses early and fully support your pre-purchase exam before you buy.
Our Breeder’s Vet Check at age two
At the age of two, we carry out our own, smaller veterinary check, the Breeder’s Vet Check. It covers the eyes, heart, lungs and musculoskeletal system, plus several X-rays. This shows us whether a young horse has OCD lesions (chips), and we can have them removed early if needed. The horse then has a long recovery period before we start its training.
We are happy to share the results with you, and we tell you whether a horse has already been operated on.
New pre-purchase exam right before the sale
Once you have decided on a horse, we recommend a new pre-purchase exam. Your vet is welcome to come to our farm. Alternatively, we can organize the exam with an independent vet and send the results, including the X-rays, to your vet. Please discuss with your vet beforehand which X-ray views he or she would like.
Open and honest
We know our horses from birth and tell you about their strengths and weaknesses before the exam. A pre-purchase exam is part of buying a horse, and we are happy to support it.
