Veterinary Consultation and
Pre-Purchase Examinations
Every
horse offered at the Fall Classic Breeders' Sale has successfully
completed an insurance equivalent physical examination,
including musculoskeletal, eye, respiratory, and heart.
In addition, each horse has been presented to the Inspection
Committee in hand, and has been evaluated for health,
basic soundness, and turnout. The documented results of
these examinations are on file in the Sale Office and
available for viewing. Consigned horses have NOT completed
a full pre-purchase exam.
Prospective
buyers are welcome to have the veterinarian of their choice
perform a pre-purchase examination on horses of interest.
The Sale Veterinarian will be available Saturday and Sunday
for consultation and pre-purchase examinations of sale
horses. Any services provided by the Sale Veterinarian
are at the expense of the prospective buyer. Pre-purchase
examinations should be arranged and discussed with the
consignor.

all other horses Xrays are optional. Xrays are are on
file in the office and may be viewed by prospective buyers
in the company of the qualified veterinarian of their
choice. For the convenience of prospective buyers, the
