Gutted as really really like this little mare and was so excited about her. The main thing was slight 2/10 lameness, it could of just been foot sore from a stone etc but then there was some evidence to suggest some tendon damage, of course we could have scans but I think theres little point. I'm just totaly gutted, yet again.
 
Oh no, really sorry to hear that

that's a real shame for you. At least you found out now though and not further down the line after buying her. I'm sure your perfect horsey is just around the corner x
 
Really sorry to hear that but i am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason and there is your perfect partner out there waiting for you as we speak.

Chin up hunny

If its any consolation my mother was trying to buy a horse last year and had about 4 horses fail a stage 2 vet. She was getting really down about it but at the end of the day has ended up with a cracking little horse. We decided fate was waiting until he was up for sale for her !

So keep your chin up - he/she's out there somewhere

Aw sorry to hear that but there is probably a better horse out there.

A horse at our yard failed its vetting and the next day did its tendon in again!!
 
So sorry to hear that. Its true what people say - everything happens for a reason, although it probably doesn't feel like it atm! My friend had her heart set on a horse that failed the vetting and she still nearly brought it, she loved it soooo much. But in the end her head won over her heart and she waited - she now has THE best ickle ponio and he suits her 100%.

The right one is just round the corner, waiting for you to find it!

I'm so confused. If you don't mind me asking, what were you buying your horse to do?
Mine was assessed suitable for hacking and riding club level activities but showed 3/10 lameness for four or more strides on his hind left.

What's confusing - it's lame and looks as if there could be a tendon problem. You don't buy it.

I found your reply far more confusing than FMN not buying a horse that failed a vetting. If the horse is lame, then it is lame - no matter what level of lameness. Not quite sure how a horse could do riding club level if it were permanently "3/10" lame. For example, a dressage test would show the lameness although may not be obvious on jumping. I don't really understand what you meant about 4 or more strides. If you meant immediately after the flexion test, then that is not quite the same as being generally lame.

Anyway - why would you buy a broken horse when they are lots of lovely ones out there which are fine?

She was for the attened use of showjumping up to the bigger tracks. Your all right in the is no point buying trouble. I no it wasn't ment to be. Before Tanya and Fliss (ILWANF) brought Liberty when she passed a five stage vetting they had turned her down to a bigger pony that then failed due to blindess and before this had a pony fail on about 2/10 lameness which probs like with this mare would get worse in the demands of work we do. I was just very excited about idea that I would of had a lovely horse again to play with. I should have some more information coming from German anyhow on her.
