Advice?

[Raych]

Hello, me again

Just wondering,
if you went to view a horse and really liked it (enough to buy) but then later found out the owner wasn't being 100% honest with an injury, would you still consider buying the horse?

I am in a similar situation to this and I'm on the fence about what to do

Thanks x

I guess it would depend on what the injury was and what I was wanting to achieve with the horse...(and whether it was reflected in the price?)

As above, it would depend on the injury and what my future plans were for the horse.
I would also question if the owner has been honest on all fronts, or does she have more to hide.
I would certainly get the opinion of a vet, or just get them vetted to know if the horse will be fit for purpose.
It may be the injury is totally fine and wont reoccur, it may be one that comes back as soon as you start doing a particular activity.
Be cautious, and dont let your heart rule your head, if perfect for you then yes I'd investigate further, but I'd want a 100% clean bill of health from a vet to proceed with sale x
