Common Misconceptions and What to Look Out For - A Buyer's Guide to the Pre-Purchase Exam with Dr. Paul McClellan

Key Takeaways:

• You're relying on a team (your trainer, agent, farrier, vet) to help you make the best decision for you and the horse. Make sure you are happy with the people on your team.

• Don't be in a hurry to purchase a horse, find time to walk through the process patiently. A pre-purchase exam is a risk assessment and a combination of qualitative and quantitative judgements that are made by the vet.

• Horse's are complex animals, and vets are just putting the puzzle pieces together to create an assessment. It is your job to decide if this horse will be a great fit or not.
