Pre-Purchase Exams

About our Pre-Purchase Exams

This examination is designed to help you in making one of the most important decisions in horse ownership. Whether the horse is intended for pleasure riding, showing, or as your child’s first pony, we will evaluate for overall health conditions as well as other potential concerns such as vices or behavioral issues.

This examination can range from a very thorough physical examination of all the body systems and gait evaluation to a more complete examination including radiographs (x-rays), ultrasound, and endoscopy.

Before your Appointment

Prior to the scheduled appointment, we ask that both the buyer and seller fill out pre-purchase forms. These forms allow the doctor to review important information before the examination takes place. Download and print the forms.
