Vetting

[lattingford]

Yesterday I had a 3.5yr old Welsh D gelding vetted. Been backed for past 9 weeks with my intention of turning away until next spring. He came up lame on left hind 3/5 on flexion tests. vet said I could leave it a week and retest or leave it. The pony is wonderful otherwise but could I be buying trouble if he is sound next week. Any opinions and advice welcome

Could be any reason for the lameness.

If you're that interested, I'd be tempted to re-vet in a fortnight.

would you pass a flexion test? (i wouldnt lol) i would try it again, could be any reason he failed and it would also depend on what you want to do with pony.
