A PPE is a health exam performed by a vet when the buyer and usually the seller are both present. It is done to assess current soundness, to help determine the suitability of a horse for the buyer's intended use and to help provide the buyer with the information they need to make an informed purchase decision.
The vet check will consist of a full body examination from nose to tail and everything in between. It varies from a regular check-up where you would most likely get a diagnosis; the pre-purchase exam aims to give you an unbiased opinion of whether or not this horse is suited for you and its intended purpose.
The cost of vetting a horse may vary between veterinary practices and the type of vetting carried out. A basic or insurance 2 stage vetting will normally cost around £75 and a 5 stage vetting will normally cost around A£250.
The prepurchase examination is an objective evaluation of the horse to discover any problems that might affect the horse's current or future performance and health.Our prepurchase exams include a thorough physical exam where the heart, lungs, eyes, conformation, skin, teeth, legs, and feet are evaluated.
The 5 stage vetting examination consists of 5 stages detailed below set by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and the British Veterinary Association where the horse is examined both at rest and at work and the examination usually lasts for between 2 and 3 hours.
The Price Tag The price of a basic pre-purchase exam will vary from one veterinary practice to another, but in general you can expect to pay from $250 to $500. It's a good idea to ask the veterinarian the base cost up front.
Typically the person who is going to be buying the horse pays for the pre-purchase exam. This means that all discoveries and medical findings discovered during this exam belong to that client.
You should have the horse checked by a vet. A vet check will probably cost you between £75 and A£250 depending on the extent to which the vet examines the horse. There are 5 levels of check: the more you have, the more expensive the fee.
Together with your experienced advisor, look at the horse's teeth to check the age, do a thorough conformation check, feel the legs, look at the feet (ask the owner to pick up the feet), ask about the farrier, notice any lumps and bumps and query them. If the horse passes your inspection, ask to see it ridden.
