Which Vetting?

[jcberry]

We are having pepsi vetted on tuesday, dont really know much about vetting, what is involved in a 2 star? and whats the difference between 5 star and 2 star (except the price!)?
Any info would be great, never had to do it before.
Thanks

2 stage is general health check, heart eyes and to see if sound. 5 stage is the 2 stage plus measuring heart rate before and after exercise and flexion tests etc. You can also have bloods taken and x-rays of the feet in required.

Basically 5 stage is your full MOT as it were. If I buy a horse I always would get a 5 stage carried out.

2 stages are more often a vetting carried out for purposes of insurance.

If you can be there that is ideal!! If there are any problems the vet can discuss it with you at the time AND also you not what has happened in case there are any problems in the future...
