Thinking about adding another family member? 🐎💸
Before you seal the deal, make sure your future partner is ready for the job with a Pre-Purchase Exam (PPE)!
A PPE helps identify any injuries, lameness, or hidden health issues that could affect the horse’s performance. Even if the horse seems perfect, a vet check might reveal small things—like needing joint support or maintenance injections—to keep them feeling their best!
What’s in a full PPE?
✅ Physical Exam
✅ Soundness Evaluation
✅ Flexion Tests
✅ X-rays & Imaging
✅ Screening Blood Work
On a budget or buying a lower-level horse? No problem—we can tailor the exam to fit your needs. At the very least, we recommend the physical, soundness, and flexion tests for any horse, no matter the price tag.
Next week, we’ll break down the 5 stages of a PPE—stay tuned!
