In a Nutshell

Here's What the Stories Tell Us

  • If you look at a horse and something seems "not right," don't buy.
  • Take someone you know and trust when you're horse shopping; at the very least, you'll have a witness to what the seller tells you.
  • If a dishonest trader has deceived you by hiding soundness or temperament problems,  you'll probably know within a week or two.   Insist on a two week trial period or a refund agreement (in writing) before you buy.
  • Have a pre-purchase exam done by a veterinarian if you possibly can.
