My husband wanted to buy me a horse for Valentine’s Day, but it didn’t pass the vet’s pre-purchase exam. That’s why we invested in it! A few hundred dollars up front is priceless down the road.

Hello, Patrecia! Well, my trainer heard it was available and suggested to him that it was worth looking at. Unfortunately, she hadn’t seen this horse in several years, and it hadn’t been worked with since then, either.
