Thinking of buying a new horse? Have you considered booking a Pre-Purchase Examination (PPE)? 🐴

What is a PPE?🤔
A PPE is a comprehensive assessment performed by a veterinarian to give prospective buyers a clear picture of a horse’s current health status and physical soundness prior to purchasing. During this exam, any existing issues or risks that may impact the horse’s ability to perform as intended, whether that’s for riding, competition, breeding, or leisure will be identified.

Why is a PPE Important?🤷‍♀️
A PPE offers insight into the horse’s overall condition, helping you make an educated decision. Without a professional evaluation, any hidden issues such as subtle lameness, heart problems, or respiratory issues to list a few, may not be evident. Suitability is also a big deciding factor as not all horses are suited for all types of activities. A veterinary assessment can determine if the horse is likely to meet your specific goals.

What does a PPE involve?🩺
A standard PPE generally includes five stages, though it can be tailored based on specific concerns or intended use.
1. Preliminary examination: The consultation will begin with the vet observing the horse at rest. They will assess the general health, behaviour, vital signs (heart and respiratory rates) and body condition. They will also inspect for any visible issues such as lumps, scars, or signs of past injuries.
2. Movement evaluation: The horse’s movement is then assessed by walking and trotting in-hand on a hard, flat surface. Flexion tests are also performed to help identify any potential lameness or joint issues.
3. Exercise phase: The horse is lunged or ridden to evaluate its movement at different gaits and under moderate exercise. This allows the vet to assess the horse’s cardiovascular and respiratory systems in action and on recovery, as well as monitor how joints and muscles perform under stress.
4. Rest and recovery: After exercise, the vet rechecks the vital signs to evaluate recovery time and look for any irregularities that may indicate underlying health concerns.
5. Final examination: The vet performs a final check which often includes further flexion tests and other detailed observations.

A full report is then issued which summarises the findings of the examination.
Additional diagnostics can be performed during the examination upon request. This includes x-rays, endoscopy, ultrasounds, blood tests and reproductive evaluation. 🩸

A Pre-Purchase Examination is a vital step in the horse-buying process and is not something that should be overlooked. By enlisting an equine veterinarian with the accreditation to conduct a thorough PPE, you’re helping ensure your new equine friend is a healthy and suitable match.🐴🤎

Rest in peace Bruce Wilson

𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗘 𝗕𝗥𝗨𝗖𝗘 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗦𝗢𝗡

The Society was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of ASHS Member Bruce Wilson, late of Boonah, Qld.

Together with his wife Jeanette, Bruce operated Valliview Stockhorses, and bred more than 60 Australian Stock Horses with the VALLIVIEW prefix.

Bruce was instrumental in the University of Queensland’s Vet School Stud, where he worked closely with world-renowned reproductive experts Kerry Dowsett and Professor Jack Groenendyk.

Today, there are 278 Australian Stock Horses with the VET SCHOOL prefix.

Bruce was an Accredited Judge and strong supporter of shows and campdrafts.

We extend our sincerest sympathies to Bruce’s wife Jeanette, his children, family and many friends.
