I have seen a nice youngster that ticks most of my boxes but his sire has a postive index for passing on OCD would you walk away or what measures can you take to check he is clean ?

He never had a locking stifle and never showed any symptoms like that but yes it was loosened over the joint so I am guessing you could say that . He wasn't bringing his right hind under him as much as his left and was swishing his tail on one rein they were the only signs but his right stifle...

He had a tidy up of the meniscus in the right hind and some smoothing and the ligaments loosened over the joint the was no damage to the left but the ligament was loosened I think that is right by daughter could tell you the technical term

Update !!! went back and tried said horse whilst waiting for vet history owner was delayed but said to crack on if we were ok with that , well had a lucky escape horse did not like you putting your legs on and went into rodeo mode good job the jockey has very good stickability nedless to say we...

Ok everyone I will just clarify all was going well until December when the physio came and he came out of the stable stepping short we were all gutted but may have been to do with field turnout etc !!! I was posting before we had taken him back to the operating vets who said all looked good on...

Ihatework Haha that would be me caution to the wind !!!! glad you got it and I'm sure it will be fine . xx SusieT We didn't comment I just asked the owner if she used a physio it is not for me tell her there is something wrong with her horse I hear what you are saying but past experience...

Yes we are !!! Ihatework you got one then eventually gives me hope !!!!

Thats interesting if we go ahead it will the suspensories that will be what I will asking the vet to pay particular attention to my own experience is that sore backs and only very slightly lame is often how PSD presents and to be fair to the owner they may not be aware . I am honed it on it as I...

I do get that, honestly. Been there, done that. But I think over interpreting what a sellers motives might be is a bit daft. If you are an over cautious buyer and risk averse then just X-ray routinely irrespective of purchase price and/or insure LOU if under threshold. I have just been on...

ihatework you are probably right but without boring you, of the last two horses we bought the ridden horse who passed a 5* vetting only to develop a problem a few months later that my vet said must have been there when we purchased her and a youngster that I didn't have xrayed but has since had...

The horse is priced just under 10k I think what my friend was meaning had it been priced at that knowing that x rays may not be asked for !!! gosh I hate buying horses . We have already walked away from one because although it gave a very nice ride it had conformation/ feet issues that would...

OK everyone my daughter went to view a horse over the weekend it was a bit bigger than we had originally wanted but it was local so off we went . It went very nicely for her and was very rideable but possibly tad lazy although I thought it could be a bit more through from behind in canter ...

Hello Shellibob he is getting on ok we have done our first dressage competition with him a bit hairy but was ok . He gets tight in his hamstrings so the physio comes every 3 months which does help and she said he is better than the last time she saw him so that is positive we have still got some...

Does anyone know or has anyone used a horse finder service ? Ok I should explain after lots of viewing etc we still haven't found our next horse and there is a limit to how much time off I can take ( had plenty cancel the day before or ring up to say sorry sold the horse yesterday which is fine...

Thank you all , I think I will try and get a sample of both products as it is getting expensive to buy this stuff and not use it .
