Show Notes:
This week our resident veterinarian Dr. Stacey Kent discusses the ins and outs of a pre-purchase exam. She walks us through what a vet is doing during the exam, why they are doing it and what is going through their mind while they are doing it. It is a comprehensive look at why we use pre-purchase exams and what we can do, as horse buyers, to better understand the exam.

Also, Stacey tells us how we can help our vet determine if a horse will be suitable for the type of work we have in mind. This is a great episode for anyone shopping for (or considering!) a new horse.
