Pre-purchase Examination

Ensure an informed purchase

Detailed assessments to ensure the best choice

At EquiSportMedWe understand that acquiring a horse is an important and responsible decision. That is why we offer a professional service of pre-purchase review to ensure that you make an informed and confident decision.

What does the pre-purchase test consist of?

Our aim is to provide a comprehensive assessment of the horse's state of health to identify possible injuries, pathologies or conditions that may affect its performance or longevity. The examinations are carried out in accordance with the standards set by recognised organisations such as AVEE (Association of Equine Practitioners) and BEVA (British Equine Veterinary Association).

Examination process:

Clinical history and initial assessment

Review of the horse's history and a detailed physical inspection.

Advanced Diagnostic Imaging

  • Direct digital radiography to evaluate bone structures.
  • High-resolution soft tissue Doppler ultrasound.
  • Upper airway endoscopy to detect possible respiratory pathologies.

Complementary tests

  • Blood tests.
  • Electrocardiograms.
  • Specific tests for doping detection and international export.
  • Other advanced tests, such as scintigraphy and magnetic resonance imaging, in collaboration with specialised equine veterinary hospitals.
