Buying a young sport horse: what to look for
Pedigree, X-rays, the trial ride and the questions that matter most.
Sales · 4 November 2025 · 6 min read
Buying a young horse is part judgement, part trust. Here is what we would ask, if we were on the other side of the table.
- See the horse loose jumping and ridden, ideally on two different days.
- Ask for X-rays and a full vetting by a vet you choose.
- Ask who has ridden the horse, and for how long.
“The right horse fits your plans, not just your budget.”
