Vet Checking A Foal

[Cobland]

The ones that are buying Jacada were up again last night, they left a deposit and said that they will give me the rest if she passes the vet check on monday.

Just wondering what will be checked.

They do a two stage vetting. Heart, eyes, lungs at rest, and make sure the horse has four legs, head and a tail! They check the foal is sound in walk and maybe trot depending on the foals handling. Obviously they would look for any glaring conformation problems or obvious health problems such as a runny nose or cough but theres not much else really.

Well i can confirm she has four legs, a head and a tail lol.

Ive never had a horse i sold vetted before so really nervous lol. Shes is good health, so will be surprised if they find anything wrong.

Don't be nervous! There is nothing wrong as far as you know, and they are being sensible having the basic checked. Hope it's a lovely new home for her. How many have you sold so far?
