All
horses presented for the sale are considered of fine temperament,
sound way of going, and good conformation before being entered
into sale. Four radiographic views are taken of each hock and
a single view of the front feet are taken on all entries. A Coggin’s
test is also done. If for any reason it appears something should
be noted, additional x-rays may be taken to ensure nothing visible
is overlooked.
All horses are in a working program for the days in May before
the sale date. If any soundness issues arise during this time,
the horse is re-examined and may be pulled from the sale with
a veterinary certificate.
All horses are handled, bathed, clipped and fully groomed each
day as well as checked for lumps, bumps, or sores which may have
incurred due to training. Eight days prior to sale date, the stable
is open for potential buyers to try horses of their choice and
to arrange for private vettings if so desired.
As
each horse is sold on the day of sale, any notable information
is disclosed. Although precautions are taken to ensure each horse
is right of “wind and limb”, it is advisable to have a vet of
your choice look at the horse or horses you have decided on.
