PRE-PURCHASE EXAMS
These exams are utilized to determine the medical condition of a horse at the time of the exam
and the probability that the horse can perform the job that is expected. This is accomplished
through a thorough physical exam as well as an extensive gait evaluation involving limb palpation,
flexion tests, hoof testers and watching the horse move on hard and soft ground, looking for lameness or
asymmetry.
This exam may include other ancillary tests ie. Radiographs, Blood Work, Drug Screens, Endoscopy,
and/or Ultrasound.
