I viewed a horse on Saturday who I really liked the look of. For genuine reasons I only saw him in the stable and free-schooled with the idea that I would come back to ride on another day if I liked. And I do like! However, he has a scar from where a sarcoid was removed a few weeks ago. I’m not bothered by the scar, but I am somewhat concerned about the risk that he will develop more sarcoids in future.
Does anyone have experience of sarcoids? Would a history of sarcoids put you off buying a horse altogether, or do you see it as a calculated risk?
Obviously I still need to try him, and if I don't enjoy riding him for any reason then all bets are off anyway. But if I like him as much as I think I will then I have a tough decision to make.
