What did your vet say when you discussed it with them at the vetting?

 

[OldNag]

When I have had vettings done the vet has told me whether they consider horse fit & suitable for my intended purpose. When I had one fail they said straight out that they could not recommend I purchased the horse. Did vet not give an opinion? I have only had a few vettings done, and only had two vets do it, soI don't know if it is normal practice.

I never got to speak to the vet. Im posting on behalf of a friend, they were not present at time of vetting unfortunately

 

[AmyMay]

Well friend needs to speak to the vet to get their opinion.

Sounds suitable BUT depends on the actual asymmetry etc.

Sounds like its had a pelvic fracture in the past, which would be the asymmetry and the brushing inside, and a whistler, i wouldnt touch it, just my opinion.

The cert will say suitable or unsuitable.
