Someone reassure me - dreading vetting tomorrow!

[Sunny08]

Long story but I eventually decided to put my beautiful mare up for sale (she is 5 with the world at her feet, I am pregnant and don't want to compete or do much more than hacking anymore etc - long story and se previous posts!). I have owned her for 3 years, had a couple of scrapes but nothing major - I panic like mad though!
First girl who came to see her wanted her and she was the perfect match so happy with that. Now I am terrified of the vetting tomorrow! I had her vetted when I brought her - no issues, and have her back and teeth checked every 6 months. I had a problem with her teeth causing her pain earlier this year and a misdiadgnosis but thats all fine now - she needed wolf tooth removed.
It's not even that I am worried about losing the sale, though I really like the woman who wants her and think they will be perfect for each other, it is more is more that I just keep having nightmares that the vet will say something terrible is wrong that I have no idea about! Is this normal?
Also how many horses actually have nothing at all wrong? Is it common for vet to point out minor flaws i.e. in conformation but say fine for xxx use?
Thanks for helping my neurotic brain!

First all, hope all goes well tomorrow! It's nice that you like the purchaser.

If it's a 5 stage vetting they're very thorough and will point out the smallest flaw, but invariably that's just for the record and it shouldn't affect the outcome unless it's specific to what the buyer wants to do.

Obviously lameness and wind issues aren't good and wouldn't pass, but sometimes the vet will point out something minor that might be an issue in the future - but at least the purchaser will have a heads-up and can make a decision based on that.

Fingers crossed for you!

Good luck - I know how you feel, you just have to keep your fingers crossed. If they are sensible and small issues are raised then hopefully it wont put them off. No horse is completely 100% all the time.
