I highly recommend getting a vet check and blood work done on a horse before buying. The horse we bought from reurink died less than 6 months after bringing her home. The vet said it was liver failure from chronic liver disease. She also had navicular that had not been disclosed at the time of sale.

If they see an opportunity to prey on a trusting person, they will. Now I am out over $8000 and can't afford to replace her.
