Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

I've bought two endurance horses, both off the harness track.  One I paid $1,200 for and the vet check was $714.  The second horse I paid $1,400 for, the vet check was $570.  Both included xrays.  Before starting an endurance career, I needed to know that both of these horses were up to the job.  One had a fleeting career on the track, the other one raced for 9 years.  The horse that raced for 9 years had a clean set of xrays and he is a pretty good, if not slower, 50 mile horse.

You need to get YOUR own vet do this.  You need an objective, independent third-party to give you an assessment.   If not you?re not local to the horse, you can find candidates by using the Yellow Pages, Ridecamp etc.
