In May, we purchased two horses that were supposed to be aged 15-17 years old. We are first-time horse owners, so preferred that age range and kid friendly. Vet came out a week ago and verified the mare is 20 years old, and the gelding is 25+ years old. She also stated he is only pasture sound and can only be ridden by our child. I paid $3,500 for this gelding that isn't even sound to ride. The experience during the visit was great; however, very unfortunate that we were taken advantage of and outright lied to about these horses' medical condition and age. Lesson learned, which is sad because we did want to purchase a 3rd horse later this summer.
