Pics of my soon to be Horse *Another pic*

[critter crazy]

I lOve his colring, and he is just gorgeous. But is it just me, or is he standing funny?? He seems to be off on his front. He is standing with his front legs stretched out realy funny. It just looks odd to me, maybe it is just the pics. Have you gotten a vet check done?? That is #1 priority with purchasing a horse. You just want to make sure there are no underlining health issues.

It finally hit me why I think the horse looks odd, he seems to be standing as if he has Navicular disease. If this horse stands constantly like this, I would not purchase this horse, unless you are fully aware how to deal with this issue. I just dont want to see you purchase a horse you cannot use. What will you be using the horse for?? Once again I would reccomend a vet check, before Purchse, by your vet, not the owners. Good Luck

I honestly was thinking the same thing, navicular, with the way he's standing. I wouldn't purchase a navicular horse, they are intermittently lame even with good hoof care and it gets costly to maintain. At some point too, the coffin bone can rotate even farther and there is no help for it. I just was afraid to say anything in case someone thought I was "picking" on the horse or being negative. Get a prepurchase vet exam for sure.

If he is sound and you go ahead and get him, make sure you get someone to properly help you fit a saddle to avoid back issues. He has very high withers and is a bit narrow framed, so you may not be able to use a saddle you already own.
