Bought a mare two years ago that had a terrible grouchy attitude and no one wanted her and she’d been used as a broodmare. ( Go figure, grouchy can’t be caught hard to breed ( took three stallions before she’d accept one and I think they hobbled her finally ) I don’t think I’d breed to THAT). Any how it turned out she had ULCERS. I was her fourth owner and none before me sussed it out. Two weeks into the ulcer treatment she turned into a much nicer, calmer, happier individual. Been onward and upward since and she’s my best rough country mount ever!❤

I accepted a horse with an old bowed tendon as a payment for a debt and rode her for many years. She looked like an Arab and was only lame once when she had an abscess. She was sound the moment my farrier was able to open it and I simply packed it with sugardine until it healed. She was a lot of fun.

That is exactly the type of thing I am talking about. Another person would have saw the bowed tendon and walked away and missed out on a good horse.

When I was a kid my horse got foundered. Down the street the Jockey who race at tampa bay downs and elsewhere came and said don't let her lie down. Said to make a hole of water. And to rub all her legs to keep the swelling down. I did that all day for 2 days. But you couldn't find anything wrong with her after she got better. And she walked on loose gravel and hard top roads all the time. Never limped. Jockey said I kept swelling down and blood circulating and that makes the different. Standing in a wet muddy hole works too.

Best horse I ever had was an old Plantation Walker broodmare. She was 21 when I got her but she looked like an eight year old. A pure joy to ride. She was unflappable on the trail. Snarling dog swoops in from behind? No problem! Dog learned a lesson and Lady didn't even break stride. I cried when I had to sell her. Point is: don't overlook a good horse because of one thing, including age. (Thanks for another great video! The specific info about common veterinary problems is VERY helpful.)

I started watching you when you were trying to find a good home for the mustang. It made sense that the horse struggled with allergies when it probably came from a totally different climate and ecosystem. I do enjoy watching your videos. I have learned a lot as an older rider getting back in the saddle after almost 25 years.

My horse was 13 when I bought him. He was left in the pasture for a year with little work. He was diagnosed with Heaves. We bought a hay steamer and steam his hay. In addition he was put on a diet and kept in a dry lot and lost about 200 lbs. finally we started working him 3 to 4 times a week. He is in great shape and rarely has breathing problems. I live in Chicago and limit my riding to day where the temp does not exceed 90 degrees or is below 32 degrees.

I had a horse with Lyme, and she did not respond to the antibiotic well. We treated her several times and it kept coming back. At first it affected her muscles, but eventually it affected her mind. She became unsafe to be around, and we ended up putting her down. I would definitely avoid a horse with Lyme.

I have friends who bought a horse and the vet said he had spavin in the hocks. The vet said he would be fine for trail riding. He was great and lived to be old. I think he had been a rope horse among his many early jobs and probably couldn’t do that anymore, but you couldn’t ask for a better family horse for trail riding. Another person I know got a thoroughbred who never had been raced who it turned out has kissing spines. He is a pasture pet until they decide about surgery which may or may not help him.

The average person without your depth of knowledge would benefit greatly from a pre-purchase exam. There are lots of questions that can be answered by a good vet. You, and other professionals, have the experience to see and evaluate different issues that the average horseman isn't able to.

I would have to say that here in West Virginia, heaves would probably be a no for me. I almost took an Icelandic with heaves and the owner backed out because her kid didn't want to see her go. The owner later told me she felt bad for backing out but she was glad I didn't take her. She's not rideable and ended up eventually going to a sanctuary in Colorado.

My 3 horses live out in a 15 acre pasture with run in sheds. They are on grass all summer, hay in winter. I can't have a horse with previous laminitis or insulin resistant, just too hard to manage with my situation . I am in Massachusetts, so not the usual situation for this area. Most horses here are in stalls with limited turnout, so grass not an issue for them.
@juliehmidmo 9 күн бұрын
What a loaded question! Some people will buy horses with issues I never would consider. There can be so many reasons why a horse is the way they are but a few hard NO's for me are KS, Chronic reoccuring Ulcers, Advanced Ringbone, Sidebone or Arthritis to name a few. I would also walk away if the horse overall has a bad/ grumpy/ balky attitude when being handled/ ridden. I usually raise my own and they just tend to like being handled and worked with . There are just so many expensive issues I just can't afford to maintain and I would have to pass. Good thing I am not looking to buy. I have 3 here and that is plenty! Very good and informative lesson.

I REALLY avoid any stable vice. Too much trouble and worry. I stay away from a quarter crack because i bought a good TB with one. Turns out that's why he fails at the track. I had him several years. Every time i thought we beat it and got ready for competition it would blow. Too dissapointing. I gave up abs found him a fox hunting home... they had a string so if he was lame they could just wait until he was sound. I spent thousands on that hoof. It was just not a good hoof or he did something to it that changed the integrity as a baby? So that's a hard no for me

Beware of genetic problems known to certain breeds. Registries (Australia) wont exclude them from breeding. Have lovely registered Paint but wondered why he had sooo many issues. DNA testing proved for PSSM1. This is not funny - poor boy was blamed for bad attitude and training approach for years has been all wrong. Even so, he will never be a candidate for high level training or showing. Luv him to bits and will keep him but its been a disappointing and expensive road.
