Ridecamp: [RC] Question on Prepurchase exam

Rae tallcarabians@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
  A friend is buying a mare - mostly for breeding purposes and the prepurchase exam was done in CA (we're in TX).  She is wondering about point #1 - does this sound like something to really be worried about??

"History: mare, artificial insemination last year, open. 
Beautiful, homozygous bay/white/black, 5-year-old mare. 
1. superficial vertical cracks, both front hooves & separation of walls 
2. negative hoof tester 
3. negative on circles 
4. negative flexion tests 
Very strong, solid-built. 
Rectal: uterus normal size for maiden; right ovary small 3cm-5cm; left ovary
5cm, follicle clusters, one small ova, soft 
Vaginal: 1 finger cervix; mare probably just went out of heat."

Thanks
Rae
