Pre-Purchase Horse Examinations | Pinkham Equine Vets

Pinkham Equine vets have significant experience in providing 5-stage pre-purchase examinations (PPEs), as well as attending thoroughbred and sport horse sales.

The PPE or ‘vetting’ is an assessment of the horse based on a recognised examination carried out in two or five stages (although all stages may not be completed if the horse fails the examination at one of the early stages). It provides an assessment of the horse at the time of examination, to assist your decision to purchase, or not, and is an indication, not a guarantee, of a horse’s suitability for your intended use.

Declaration*

I do not wish to incur the expense of a full 5 stage examination of the horse as detailed in the explanatory memorandum in the notes accompanying this letter, a copy of which I have retained. Accordingly, I wish to restrict the scope of your instructions to a limited examination involving only stages 1 and 2, as set out in the aforementioned notes. I acknowledge that prior to the examination the extent of this limited form of examination has been explained to me. I accept and understand that such limited examination may not reveal certain conditions which may have been discovered during the course of a full 5 stage examination. *
