ПОСЛЕДНИЙ РАУНД. ЧТО ЕСТЬ ПОКУПКА КОНЯ ЧИСТО ТЕХНИЧЕСКИ....

LAST ROUND.
WHAT IS PURCHASE OF A HORSE PURE TECHNICAL

Do you want a horse. Made up his mind. Counted the money. Found a suitable horse. For example, on Avito.
What's next?

To get started, take your time and find a few options.
Ideally - not by the eyes.

By price, age, region (it is advisable to watch it personally, if that), a description. Sex, height and breed, after all.

I personally watch the video. If it is not there, I am writing to the seller and demanding it be provided. No vidos - no purchase.

VIDEO.

You have to see the horse running. Here he is walking, trotting, galloping. Everything should be as harmonious as possible. Under the rider - a must. It is desirable and on the cord too. And for the transitions to be filmed by the operator. Both under horseback and on a rope.
Any horse is worth the money. Therefore, let the seller deign to move.

With this video you go to your trainer and a good vet. You show.
And you ask for intelligible comments.

If at least one horse was pleasant to all of you (what exactly - not now, later and in detail), you have gathered with a trainer and are going for a test drive.

No kidding, bro. You must ride a horse. Itself.
Horses have a different shape and suspension, if rough. And it may suit you personally, or it may not.
Here is a jamb, if we choose a baby for ourselves.
Well, there will be a surprise ...

How to sit down if the horse is hackneyed.

To begin with, we ask you to demonstrate his movements on the cord (and at the same time look at arrhythmia and freaks).
Then ask the horse's guardian to sit on it in person and show everything the horse does. Right now.
Look at the style of work.

I personally did not buy one horse precisely because of the rider's style.

Then we plant our coach.

And only then we climb there ourselves, if everything is ok! Only later !!!

The saddest stories are that a horse is sold because of a vile disposition. Sits everyone. And you hung up your ears that it was “white, fluffy, you just drove a child of 5 years at a gallop” and you’re already going to the hospital. With a fracture of the pelvis, for example.
Do you need it? No, don’t! Be protected.

Further events depend on whether you liked the horse or not. And the issue price.

Your veterinarian should examine the horse.

In theory, if there are serious schools with the health and / or work of this particular horse, an experienced trainer can also see them. This is an asymmetry in any part of the horse (strong, bro, asymmetry!). This is swelling on the legs before and / or after the demonstration of the horse. This is a strange muscular development. Various seals in the wrong places. Irregular shape of the hooves. Oppressed, dull appearance. Cough.

And there is also a mass of hidden defects.
They should be watched by a veterinarian. Moreover, ideally with a thermal imager, X-ray, and even an ultrasound grab just in case. Because the whole horses are sold a little, and the lame are expensive to treat.

I would x-ray the foal to the fullest. He may have such things that come out at the time of arrival. For example, an intraarticular spike. Or Wobbler's syndrome (intervertebral hernia). You cannot ride with this defect. And only an x-ray sees it. And you’ll get used to it, love it, and invest the wagon in money.
By the way, the spikes are removed, and successfully. But better at an early age.
But Wobbler is not being treated.

And here I would cheat.

Having examined the horse with the coach, I would have agreed on a repeat visit. With prepayment And veterinarian. I would not give the name of the doctor. And the arrival would have organized as suddenly as possible.

Why are you so terrified?

If there is a problem, they will try to hide it. And your goal is to reveal!

How and what do they hide? They inject painkillers so that he does not limp that day. Or "prepare a horse" with a sedative, so as not to sit down. Or they put on quilted jackets in advance so that the swelling was not visible.

A good doctor for your money should go over everything he reaches. And easy to listen to. And do an x-ray of the legs. Especially if they ask a lot for a horse. And a thermal imager to see what's back.

Inspection is very important!

Often we are talking about the fact that there are no complaints and an x-ray is not needed.
Need bro. Alas.
According to Peter, a good twig costs from 15,000. But it's worth it!

If you take a horse to sport, then he will be given a gastroscopy and a cardiogram. Even without complaints. Because the price of training is high, the hopes are huge!
Watch out, damn it!

WHAT ELSE TO PAY ATTENTION?

Drive to the stable in advance. As if by chance. See how the horse makes contact with a person (not you!). What is put on her for display. In what condition is her stall. What hangs on it (what are blankets, quilted jackets, nails). Ask any uncomfortable questions. Write down "to think." And so compare a couple or more horses, even if you have chosen one! Take a picture of the horse in all places. And legs, and belly, and tail. There will be something to think about in the evening. Otherwise, you will forget everything while you go home.

That's when the stars came together, you are making a sale and purchase agreement.
You make at the station the certificate necessary for transportation. Check for vaccinations! Waiting for quarantine. Looking for a horse carrier. And drove to their native penates. To your stable.

There is another interesting point. But I need to clarify it. I will add a separate post. There, about the fact that the horse can be returned home for another day, if he suddenly went limp during this time (day, bro!). In how.

Something like that.

QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS!

I will describe the visual inspection in the next post.

But
