You should have the horse checked by a vet. A vet check will probably cost you between £75 and A£250 depending on the extent to which the vet examines the horse. There are 5 levels of check: the more you have, the more expensive the fee.
Typically the person who is going to be buying the horse pays for the pre-purchase exam. This means that all discoveries and medical findings discovered during this exam belong to that client.
