hi this is kat! i really need your help i half way buying this wonderful horse i have ridden her loads of times! she is the most stunning horse ever but we recentlt got her vetted and the vet said she was ever so slighty lame on her left leg basically she cant do tight left turns! but he also said that she is only lame for only 2-3 paces then she is fine! i really love this horse and want to still buy her! should i take the risk of buying her knowing that she might get worse and i will be stuck with a crippled horse or should i move on and look for another horse???! also the buyers might get her ex rayed and have a nerve block done on her should i wait?? help me !!

hey kat.
i think you should wait and hang on to her, see if they do get her vetted because if she comes back sound then you can buy her of course. i would'nt buy her at the moment because if she does get worse then it will be heart breaking for you. just see what the seller's are willing to do.

Hi Kat
I recently had the same problem. My farrier gave me some good advice which was: There are plenty of sound horses around, get one of those

Hi there ,
I'd say get it x-rayed, second opinion, and bare in mind that no insurance company will cover her for any thing to do with that leg. Also how dissapointed/ upset will you be if you make her more lame when you bring her into proper work or if you get on really well but then cant go on with her because of her leg, just thoughts!
