I'm an intermediate rider looking to buy my first horse. There is a horse available near me that might be what I'm looking for. However, the ad says he fractured a pastern while doing X country a few years ago. I don't know anything about pastern injuries and I'm worried it will mean he goes lame easily. He's eight. The ad says he's recovered. I'd vet any horse before I bought it, but I want to know if this is one best avoided from the start. Grateful for any advice!
