Re: [RC] [RC] Horse buying woes - Juli Jakub

Don't forget rearing and striking!! Those are biggies too! When I bought my TB as a just four year old I found out she had a tendency to rear and flip heself over when she didn't want to do something. She is the 14 yr old I just bought back! Best horse once she got over that. But I was prepared to deal with it. If Sheila is not wanting to deal with the barn sour attitude or feels unable to deal with it...it is a problem. But it does cast a different view on the situation. Why was the unfavorable x rays not talked about during pre purchase exams?? Or were they talked about and the purchase was done anyway? Very odd. There could be some recourse somewhere with the vet doing the pre purchase if he okayed the horse. Still might be hard though. I hope that the situation is figured out in a good manner for everybody.

Well, THIS casts a completely different light on the subject, especially the pre-purchase exam.

If the vet was told that the horse would be used for Endurance and there is something so drastically wrong on the x-rays that there is no way the horse could be a distance horse and the vet should have picked up on it during the pre-purchase, Sheila may have some legal recourse against the vet. Dabney?

As to the behavioral issues, those could be partly Sheila's inexperience... not saying she IS inexperienced, just that if she hasn't dealt much with herd-bound horses, that could seem like a bigger problem than if she had handled such horses frequently enough to know how to stop the shenanigans. In any event, herd-bound/barn sour are hardly biggies on the bad habit list. Now biting, cow-kicking the farrier, deliberately running under low tree limbs or trying to wipe a rider off on the arena fence... THOSE are biggies.
