I’ve followed everyone’s advice and walked away from an over priced horse that my heart wanted but my head knew was too much.
- I’ve walked into finding another heart horse but head agrees this time.
My next issue- I’m having a 5 stage as she’s £6k and I need it for Insurance but I have minimal faith in vettings as I had one pass a year ago who was written off 6 months later with horrific hock arthritis, KS and stifle issues.
So I’m debating xraying this one to cover my concerns-
People are saying don’t X-ray unless vet suggests, others are saying yes X-ray everything, others that X-rays don’t always give a good example of issues anyway etc.
What to do?
I’m torn..
It’s £340 for a vetting or £750 for one with X-rays.
