When you find the horse you think is best for you and meet your requirements, I recommend that you arrange for a veterinarian to conduct pre-purchase veterinary examination.

This may seem expensive, it is not. You can save money and headaches in the future. You can also field shelters.

A test to purchase reduces the risk of buying a horse that may have health problems or be wrong in the future.

If you choose to ensure that the horse of the insurance company will probably request a copy of the pre-purchase review to make your veterinarian if the horse passes the test.

Before pre-purchase research is necessary to explain the veterinarian for what purpose you are buying a horse, for example, hacking, eventing, dressage, etc.

Veterinary, which estimates the horse in mind and if the horse is physically fit for the purpose stated. Although the pre-purchase examination of evidence to identify potential concerns for the future, will never be back. We recommend that you obtain a receipt of money and you can also consider the contract of sale. The sales contract should specify the conditions that the horse was purchased. You can choose from are as follows:

• The sale date and cost of the horse.

• The name and signature of both parties i.e. the buyer and the seller.

• The name of the horse, age, colour, sex and a brief description.

• A list of any additional equipment sold with the horse including the registration documents, flu vaccination certificate, passport, tack, rugs etc.

• The start date, termination date and conditions of the trial period. Trial periods can be fraught with problems for both the buyer and seller, it is therefore advisable to ensure that all aspects of this trial period are covered in writing, including whose responsibility it is if the horse is ill, injured etc, who pays the insurance etc.

• Conditions of sale.

• A statement of any known ‘stereotypes’, injuries or problems the horse may have.

• A description of the horse’s abilities and a "fit for use" statement.

• A statement acknowledging that the horse will need a settling in period to adjust to its new environment and new Horse Stables.

These are purely indicative. Legal advice should be sought on all documents to ensure they are legally binding.
