FAQ
Step 1 Date and Parties. Enter the date in which the document is being created. Step 2 Horse Description. Horse's Name (if named) Step 3 Purchase Price Information. Step 4 Security Deposit. Step 5 Signatures. Step 6 Acknowledgement of Notary Public.
General. How long have you owned this horse? Health. Have they ever had an injury? Riding. What level rider do they need? Training. Does the horse load easily? Care. What is their current living situation? Feed. What feed and supplements is the horse on now? Hooves. Have their hooves been trimmed regularly? Breeding (mare)
So whats the difference? The simple answer is the exercise phase. A stage 2 vetting includes a thorough examination of the horse at rest, which includes eyes, heart, lungs, conformation, teeth and skin.The 5 stage vetting goes on to see the horse exercised.
It includes an examination of the incisor teeth, a thorough examination of the horse's eyes in a darkened area and auscultation of the horse's heart and lungs at rest. Examination of the eyes does not include dilating the pupil but will include examination of internal and external structures.
Together with your experienced advisor, look at the horse's teeth to check the age, do a thorough conformation check, feel the legs, look at the feet (ask the owner to pick up the feet), ask about the farrier, notice any lumps and bumps and query them. If the horse passes your inspection, ask to see it ridden.
There are five main criteria to evaluate when examining a horse's conformation: balance, structural correctness, way of going, muscling, and breed/sex character (also known as type). Balance is arguably the most critical aspect to evaluate when examining the horse.
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.
Since the type of horse and reason for purchase varies so much, the cost is also just as broad. The cost can range from a couple of hundred dollars to several thousands of dollars. For regular recreational use, the average cost is around $3,000, according to the University of Maine.
Stage 1: Preliminary examination. Stage 2: Walk and trot, in hand. Stage 3: Exercise phase. Stage 4: Period of rest and re-examination. Stage 5: Second trot up.
