Agnews, Ashbrook and Wright and Morten all competent for pre purchase vettings in Cheshire Birker. Arnie Agnew is the one I would want because he's my vet and has been for a long time now and I trust him to be through and pragmatic.
.
Aw just seen this, my phone has been playing up. I've booked a vetting with Tom Walters for the morning, he's only a few miles away.
A friend suggested I contact my own vets to see if they had any particular recommendations as I'd already asked them for a quote for the vetting, but due to the mileage it was over £120 more. They didn't have any recommendations either way.

Its all very exciting but totally nerve wracking too, as I've set my heart on him, love him already.
And I know I can give him a super home. I just want an answer so I can go and get my stable ready and order in some hay and buy a new headcollar and brushes and stuff as I don't feel right using the stuff I had for Bailey, especially the headcollar.

I haven’t read the whole thread just the start. Don’t get me wrong it’s nice to have a fancy horse but is it worth spending that much money on a horse you just want to have fun on. The problem with pro horses it could be to much horse for you and it could need a certain routine.

Things have moved on a bit since the start, OP has put a deposit down on a horse.

Don't chip in on a lengthy thread if you haven't read it all :rolleyes:. Things have moved on.

Horse has passed the vetting this morning, the OP picks him up on Friday.
