You should also be able to see them at liberty as most yards have at least a round pen. Seeing them at liberty is important as it will show you how they move at all three paces, how flexible they still are in the joints and how easily they can change legs, stretch down, push up from the hinds, hock health, carriage etc etc. To me it seems insane that there is no centralised medical record for each and every horse be it state or countrywide in the industry. This to me is just further proof of welfare issues at the heart of the industry, the almost complete lack of transparency and accountability involved . For a horse freshly off the track a blood test too would be good even vital as lamness for one may be concealed with medications. Xrays would be fantasic too. We shouldn't feel like we are "rescuing" a horse when buying an OTTB but given the present day common practises this is basicaly what buyers are doing. Lastly beware of horses who have raced on "dirt" in the USA, the going is exeptionaly bad for horses.

If you get lucky enough you can find one for free. Buts that’s not common

[@EquineRacers]

@hg xob they can be in the right program with the right trainer helping along the journey. I’ve brought up many many green on green, however I do have extensive experience.

[@user-en7rr2jt1n]

Please respond. There isn’t a track in Kansas. And I don’t want one off online cause you never know.

[@EquineRacers]

Oh wow, I would research the nearest racetrack to you and head on out there.

[@user-en7rr2jt1n]

EquineRacers thank you! You posted this so long ago and still responded ❤️ my mom gets ottb from Kentucky but getting a horse online isn’t very smart at times. I will search
