If anyone read my introduction, you know that my first horse did not pass the vet check. He was diagnoses with Wobblers Syndrom. I finally talked to the breeder and she don't believe the diagnoses.
She has all the paperwork from the last few vet checks, the horse is only 4. She said how would the horse have come all the way from Kentucky through to Arizona & into California without anyone ever seeing this. I guess Calif. is very strict about the horses that come here? Basically, the vet had him trot away from him and turned around to me in less than 10 seconds time and said, "you don't want this horse." It all happened that fast. I told my breeder that he did not attempt any other kind of testing that you can do with the horse at that moment. Like pulling at the tail...etc.
She refuses to let it end there. She is going to get two other opinions. She will not say anything to the vets.
One thing that I was told when I went to see him, was that he had a weak rear end from being stalled for a year. And that he needed to work on his gait. He also needed to build some muscle, which she was working on. Could this have affected the way he looked? Possible.
Well, I am going to wait patiently. I told her that if he checks out okay, I still want him. BAD! So maybe, and thats a big maybe, he will be my dream horse.
This is him.
