Pre Purchase Examinations

We perform full- 5 stage- purchase examinations on horses and ponies, also in some cases due to perhaps the age of the horse i.e. young and unbroken or the value- if of a low value- a 2 stage examination may be performed which is less extensive and hence may miss some detail which would be picked up on a full examination.

In some cases there may be a need to perform x rays to check that there is no underlying bone problem present, or for insurance purposes in a horse of higher value- generally over £10,000.

We are happy to do whatever is necessary, please call the hospital to discuss this as it is necessary to ensure that suitable facilities are available in order to be able to perform the examination fully, and full details are needed of vendor, purchaser, intended use of horse and location of horse.
