pre-purchase
Many people in the horse world will have heard the words ‘vetting or vet check’ when looking at buying or selling a horse.
At Rangiora Vet Centre we strongly recommend that all prospective purchasers obtain a full veterinary examination before buying.
Having a pre-purchase examination is never a guarantee that the horse won’t develop any issues in the future, but what it does give you is the knowledge that there are no discernible issues to start with.
