Ok couple of questions for you all.
We all know I'm sort of looking out for a horse, currently taking some time out which, after reading different threads on here, talking to various people etc has got me thinking.
1) Does everyone vet their purchase?
At what point do you decide that it's a fail?
2 or 5 stage and why?
2) Has anyone bought unseen from a reputable dealer/privately?
Why?
Would you do so again?
The reason I'm asking is that I've only ever had one horse vetted, it had a 5 stage and within a week it was lame and diagnosed with shock arthritis (this was years ago mind?).
And 2 of the best horses I've ever owned were bought unseen, because they were simply, at that time, too far to travel to. My friend's little cob was bought privately unseen and is fantastic...all the ones she looked at were rubbish
