RE: 15 yr. Grey SE Nabiel daughter with melanoma: Worth buying?

["Shirley Koch" <elts@garlic.com>]

Years ago I purchased the Reserve National Halter Champion, SANEYN, at age
18.  He had large melanomas on his tail dock and around his anus.  He was a
very fertile breeding stallion until age 31 and finally was humanely put
down at age 33 because of an arthritic condition.  He had many, many gray
foals and to my knowledge, none of them had a problem with melanomas.

I have found a lovely, coming 15 year old, grey, straight Egyptian Nabiel
daughter, but she does have melanoma.  A few lumps under her tail and one
below one ear.  The price is $5,500.  I have no prior experience with
melanoma and will of course, have a vet exam done.  However, it seems like
a large number of grey horses have this condition and continue to do quite
well.  True?  Anyone have experience with the condition in grey/white
broodmares?  Thank you.
