"...Do all of you guys have all your
horses vetted each time you buy one? I ..."
That depends on what I want the horse for and my gut
feeling.
I purchased a number of kids horses with without vet
ok. I felt that since training and disposition were the most important
thing, I would take a chance on a hidden unsoundness. Always got the
coggins as a condition of sale, before the horse came onto my
place.
I even purchased my best personal horse with no vet
OK. I went to see him, fell in love, and paid the asking price, loaded him
and took him home. (he was up to date on Coggins). Over 14 years
Sketer did everything I asked, trail, traffic control, endurance
etc.
All the rest got the full vet check. Money well
spent.
