Vettings

Summary findings based on the radiographs taken will be published in the catalogue. This gives you the opportunity to review the veterinary findings of each horse in the form of a brief summary. For detailed information on the X-rays taken and the clinical picture, you should contact the vet. It is also possible to receive the X-rays & judging reports by E-Mail upon request, prior to the auction. During the presentation(s) and the auction, our veterinarians will be available to answer all your questions.

Should you wish to have one or more horses examined by your own vet or have additional X-ray photos taken, this is of course possible.

What exactly is done during the inspection?

The options for inspecting a horse are endless, as are the costs - think clinical section, X-rays, ultrasound, MRIs, blood tests and countless others. How far should buyers or sellers go?

Equine Elite therefore takes the inspection advice using the guidelines as stated by the clinic.

First, all horses are fully clinically examined, including (but not limited to): - flexion tests, exercise tests, examinations of coat, heart, lungs, eyes and respiratory tract.

Secondly, X-rays are taken of the horses. Mandatory X-rays are taken of the Front Legs (Hoof Pulley, Bullets, etc.), The Hind Legs (Bullets, Jump Joint, Knees etc.) & the Neck and Back .
