[QUOTE="spinandslide, post: 326055, member: 5559"] Glassed over looking eyes, droopy lips and geldings will be..umm..exposing themselves. :oops: I reccomend a pre-purchase exam to buyers, even on horses Im selling that have never taken a lame step, that way they know exactly what is going on inside the animal. Also be aware, very few horses, esp. older horses will vet 100% sound. In those cases, its a matter of what you can live with(gets stiff on wet or cool days, requires joint injections every year,suppliments,ect) On trial periods, I do not allow them..period. Im not trying to hide anything and encourage the potentiall buyer to come out as many times as they like to ride and interact with the horse. WAY to many things can happen on a trial..in a week, a welltrained, wellfed horse could come back to me lame, crazy, and thin..then where do I stand? Ive offered trial periods in certain circumstances(a student of my trainer's, buyer keeps their animal at a reputable trainer's stable whom I know will ride correctly) People tend to pity buyers and think sellers are all evil horse traders drugging horses and selling them to people. Not so..Ive been sqrewed royally by buyers in the past, so it goes both ways. JMHO Sarah [/QUOTE]
