The Pre-Purchase Recommendations form is a crucial tool for anyone considering the purchase of a horse. Unlike standard sales agreements, this form provides a set of recommendations aimed at guiding potential horse buyers through the pre-purchase process. It's designed to educate buyers about essential considerations, ensuring they make informed decisions before acquiring their equine companion.
This form is essential when you are seriously considering buying a horse. It provides critical insights after you have identified a horse of interest, serving as a preparatory document that ensures you are aware of the necessary precautions and steps to take before finalizing your purchase.

The Price Tag The price of a basic pre-purchase exam will vary from one veterinary practice to another, but in general you can expect to pay from $250 to $500. It's a good idea to ask the veterinarian the base cost up front.
Take a close look at your potential horse. Then look even closer. A seller is going to try to present a perfect horse, so don't overlook clues such as lumps, scars, or a dull coat. Give particular attention to the feet and legs.
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.
The cost of vetting a horse may vary between veterinary practices and the type of vetting carried out. A basic or insurance 2 stage vetting will normally cost around £75 and a 5 stage vetting will normally cost around A£250.
A general rule of thumb for maintaining a horse in a healthy herd/space situation is 1 acre/horse. Horses can be housed in a variety of situations that are considered acceptable which include pasture with shelter, paddocks/yards or dry lots , indoor or stall-housed options.
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.
You want to buy a horse that is well-trained, well-mannered and kind, with a quiet, steady temperament. Your first horse should be one that nearly anyone can handle and ride. If it isn't, horse ownership won't be fun, and it might well be dangerous.
The prepurchase examination is an objective evaluation of the horse to discover any problems that might affect the horse's current or future performance and health.Our prepurchase exams include a thorough physical exam where the heart, lungs, eyes, conformation, skin, teeth, legs, and feet are evaluated.
