What would you fail the vet on?

[Gloi]

Both my hocks are knackered. Broken winded. Good doer though. No respectable breeder would have bred from my dam who was also badly broken winded.

 

[Flicker]

I would probably pass for general low level riding club work, as long as I was in full work at the time of vetting. If I’d had some time off it would be a definite fail on SI.

 

[Errin Paddywack]

Would pass as semi sound once loosened up but very creaky on getting up. Would definitely not pass flexion tests, wind or eye tests. No good as companion as antisocial.

 

[J&S]

Past repair, beyond my sell by date, but possibly a good companion to teach the young ones some manners.

 

[Bernster]

Some of these have really tickled me. We are a broken load of crocks aren’t we? Glad most of our nags are in far better shape.

Happy hacker here too. Mild KS, lame on the right hind (bruised sole?), unlevel, bit stiff, overweight and unfit. Good doer. Laminitis risk. Pretty stoic though and gets on with the job. Good attitude, but not very brave.

 

[luckyoldme]

Haha! Funny thread!?

 

[PSD]

Let’s just say I’d be best suited as a non-ridden field companion...

 

[Floofball]

The vetting would be stopped as soon as they asked for anything more than a brisk walk ?

 

[shortstuff99]

I always think I'm perfectly fine to pass a vetting and then I list them and its probably a fail ?. Poor vision (but corrected), TMJ from a jaw op to fix a bone infection (alright ish now). Part of my tongue missing (no problem now), extensive left knee damage from a previous crush injury (reconstructed now) and right knee tendon injuries from sport damage (reconstructed so fine now), spinal fracture that fused (alright now) and extreme flat feet (sorted with inserts).

 

[Archangel]

Broken wind
Left shoulder steriod injection
Numb left leg
Every joint clicks

Behavioural issues include:
General bad temper, best kept alone.
Inclined to break into feed room when stressed, needs muzzling
Very difficult unless kept in full work
Inclined to rear and bolt after time off

Needs large red ribbon in hair at all times

 

[MrsMozart]

It'd be more like what would I pass on... ?

 

[southerncomfort]

SI issues for sure.

Persistent lameness issues to left leg.

Plus intermittent back issues (might get away with that one on a good day!).

 

[The Fuzzy Furry]

I think I'm pretty unsellable, realistically.

You?

Yup, me too. That's before I even got tacked up...
Would fail on eyesight as 95% blind in right eye.
Filled fetlocks, more pronounced on one side. Xrays show severe arthritis one side.
Clicking stifle on opposing side.
Doesn't track up in walk.
Crooked through loins, needs more investigation but likely due to old injury...

I'm not going further, am field ornament....

 

[tda]

The vetting would be stopped as soon as they asked for anything more than a brisk walk ?

Me too, if I actually made it up to a brisk walk without tripping up ?

 

[ITPersonnage]

Would have been shot years ago - behavioural issues and how many horses have had stifle replacements and lived to tell the tale?

 

[Griffin]

I would definitely fail flexion tests (especially nearside hock). Also I have a pollen allergy and probably sweet itch. Would definitely need Regu-Mate!

 

[sherry90]

Bilateral hind lameness, kissing spines and SI issues. I’d definitely be a field ornament but would need restricted grazing as I am a good doer ?

 

[Meredith]

Picky eater as there’s lots of stuff I don’t like.
Possible SI issues with occasional near hind lameness.
I wear glasses so would probably fail vision test.
Breathing not good for any fast work.
Dodgy near hind hoof would perhaps need remedial shoeing
All in all I wouldn’t buy myself?

 

[cobgoblin]

I'd pass the vetting, but being accident prone would knacker myself a week after purchase.

 

[Esmae]

I'm barely field sound these days and definitely wouldn't pass a vet on any level.

 

[oldie48]

Aged with poor teeth, not sound in walk due to large hole in a tendon, no longer able to breed and can be unpredicatable, so definitely one for the knackers yard I'm afraid. Currently kept as a pet though as with owner who has grown fond of me.

 

[tallyho!]

Off side SI arthritis hind
Off side navicular hind/P2/3 fracture possibly nerve issue
Near side stifle hind arthritis
Off side fore shoulder issues (previous procedure to sever tendons and denerve area)
Cervical issues
HInd gut problems
Possible eyesight problems?
Wobblers?
Behavioural issues (tried regumate)
CS: 5+ a few sugar cubes
Perfectly pickled especially on sundays.
Teeth: perfect

p.s. over the insurable age and only rideable on wednesdays if the moon is in aquarius.

buyer beware.

 

[little_critter]

metalwork in left fore, poor forelimb conformation (when I broke my left wrist they thought it was healing wonky, x rayed my right wrist to compare and discovered I’m built wonky naturally)

 

[catwithclaws]

Very flat feet, will need a full set of shoes plus pads to stop me being crippled in a day

 

[Hollychops]

Fore limb arthritis, lumbar and hind fetlock issues. Might pass a 2 stage but i doubt it! A very good doer and cheap to keep though.

 

[mustardsmum]

SI issues and currently high risk of laminitis.....

 

[splashgirl45]

arthritis in both forelimbs, lame on off hind but improves with slow work although still too lame for fast work, could maybe cope with short hacks as long as current medication is topped up, a bit grumpy in the mornings until the stiffness improves..not happy with small, noisy children so best keep them away...a little overweight so could do with less food and could do with being clipped at the moment!!!!

 

[skint1]

Mare-ish, various arthritic joints, workshy, too old to be a broodmare, fat, probably just shoot me and be done with it

 

[Roxylola]

Chronic Achilles tendinitis has me with a puffy left hock (ankle), and I'm pretty sure theres something going on higher up, saccro iliac maybe, or maybe some other hip/pelvis issues. They were very unlevel for years and are clunky at the best of times now

 

[ycbm]

We are all a bunch of crocks ?
