Ok I'm getting worried now! Re vettings and flexion tests

[Coffee_Bean]

With all this talk of people's horses not passing vettings, I'm starting to worry (un necessarily) that my girl wouldnt. (not that she needs to yet as she isnt for sale) But she plaits with her back legs in walk and trot, its just the way she moves... but would they not pass her because of this?

She passed a 2* vetting january 07.

ETA just out of intrest do they do flexion tests in 2*s ? (I wasnt there)

We have just bought a new horse.i knew she dished slightly and i could see she has a way off going with her back legs maybe what you are calling a plait.She has just passed a 5 stage so dont worry too much

No, no flexion tests for 2*. When I had a 2* done at the beginning of the month, the vet just looked him over in the stable, heard his heart, looked at his eyes and teeth and then made me walk and trot him up and down.

Yes, they do do flexion tests for 2*. Well they did for mine a few weeks ago!
