Hello All,
So I am currently looking to get a horse with a fairly tight budget. I found a really lovely ex racer who has done a couple of events and seems really ideal for what I want... but his owner said he has broken wind.. her vet said that he is fine to go up to 1*... but anything beyond that he would struggle. I am aiming just to get up to novice so if what is said is true then he should be fine. What I would like to know is if you can actually measure broken wind and can you actually say what level he could go to? Has anyone had any experience of a horse with broken wind? Is this something that is degenerate and in 3 years time he wouldn't be able to do anything?
Any advice would be great!
