    Area of Science:

    • Equine Medicine
    • Veterinary Diagnostics
    • Pre-purchase Examinations

    Background:

    • Performance horses require thorough pre-purchase examinations to identify potential defects.
    • Defects can render a horse unsuitable for a purchaser's intended use, leading to dissatisfaction and potential disputes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the systematic approach for a comprehensive pre-purchase examination of performance horses.
    • To detail the key anatomical structures and physiological parameters assessed during the examination.

    Main Methods:

    • In-stall examination: eyes, nasolacrimal puncta, ear canals, mouth, rectal temperature, auscultation of heart, lungs, trachea, sinuses.
    • Out-of-stall examination: inspection of head, neck, lymph nodes, larynx, and palpation of various skeletal landmarks.

  • Limb and foot examination, assessment of movement (longe line, under saddle), and diagnostic imaging as indicated.

    • Main Results:

    • A systematic, multi-stage examination protocol allows for thorough evaluation of the performance horse.
    • Identification of defects and past surgical evidence is critical for suitability assessment.
    • Functional assessment through exercise reveals gait abnormalities and limb carriage issues.

    Conclusions:

    • A comprehensive pre-purchase examination is essential for evaluating the suitability of performance horses.
    • This systematic approach aids veterinarians in detecting potential issues before sale.
    • Thorough examination minimizes risks for purchasers and ensures the horse meets performance expectations.
