Getting a horse vetted for purchase is frequently as stressful for the potential purchaser as for the owner. Dr Svend Kold from Willesley Equine Clinic, takes us through a five stage vetting. In Part 1 of the video, we find out the difference between a 2-stage and a 5-stage vetting and watch as Svend examines a horse at rest, when trotted up and also conducting a flexion test. This certainly helps to clarify the mysteries of vetting and goes some way towards de-stressing the subject! Presented by
