Oh, I agree that a vet check is best…I think they got
discouraged b/c there was always something wrong with the horses..they were
spending as much on vet checks as on buying the darn horse. I think we felt
like we had enough history on this one. It’s ok, it wasn’t meant to be. We’re
looking for other horses again.

My current mare wasn't checked, and I got
BURNED because of it. (She's got ringbone in both front legs and bone
spavin in one of her hocks. Ouch. I only found out when I
transferred her records at the clinic.)
My new horse [that I've never met] got a thorough vet check by a vet that
participates in ride and tie and endurance as both a ride vet and a
participant. For me it was peace of mind, and well worth the extra
$200. I pick him up on the 22nd!
