I disclose as much as I know about a horse because I want the buyer and horse to be a good match.  And I tell them I want the horse back if the match doesn't work out. 

 

If the prospective buyer asks to see the vet records, I sign a release allowing my vet to fax the buyer a copy....and the buyer needs to refer to their own vet for interpretation if needed.  Otherwise, I expect the buyer to obtain and pay for their own prepurchase exam.  I also provide the horses feeding and training routine. 

 

Ultimately, I want the match to work...so I provide all the information I have...including my interpretation of the horse's personality.
