Pre-Purchase Examinations

Our pre-purchase exams provide a comprehensive evaluation of your potential horse.

Pre-purchase examinations are performed on behalf of a potential buyer. Some or all of the following will be performed depending on the needs of the client:

  • Complete physical exam.
  • Lameness Exam – flexion tests, lunge “in-hand” and “under saddle” (if requested).
  • X-rays – as requested by the client.
  • Other possible tests may include complete blood work, which evaluates organ function and health, drug testing, rectal exam, ultrasound (for broodmare in particular).

Expect this exam to take anywhere from 1-3 hours, depending on the client’s requests. It can be done in-clinic and on the farm.

If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please give us a call at 902-543-5602.
