Vendor Details

(It is acceptable and legitimate to perform a pre-purchase examination on our client’s horses as long as the purchaser is aware that the vendor is a client and there are no other conflicts of interest that we feel could affect the vetting.)

​

However, **PLEASE NOTE** The conduction of the vetting is always at the discretion of the vet.
