🔹 Can I get a Pre-Purchase Exam (PPE) and X-rays before buying?
Yes! BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED ensures full transparency and buyer confidence by offering comprehensive Pre-Purchase Exams (PPE) and high-resolution X-rays upon request. Buying a horse is a significant investment, and ensuring that the horse meets health, soundness, and performance expectations is a top priority for both sellers and buyers.
📌 What is a Pre-Purchase Exam (PPE) & Why is it Important?
A Pre-Purchase Exam (PPE) is a detailed veterinary assessment conducted by a certified equine veterinarian to evaluate the physical condition, soundness, and overall health of a horse before completing a sale. The exam helps identify any underlying medical issues, past injuries, or potential risks that may affect the horse’s performance and longevity.
📌 A PPE is highly recommended for:
✔️ Buyers investing in competition-level dressage, jumping, and eventing horses.
✔️ Ensuring the horse is free from lameness, joint issues, or degenerative conditions.
✔️ Verifying the horse’s suitability for rider experience and future discipline.
✔️ Reducing the risk of unexpected veterinary expenses after purchase.
🔹 What Does a PPE Include?
BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED works with leading equine veterinarians to offer a thorough Pre-Purchase Exam, which typically includes:
✔️ Full Physical Examination – Checking body condition, muscle symmetry, eyes, teeth, heart, lungs, and skin for signs of illness or abnormalities.
✔️ Lameness Evaluation – Observing the horse’s movement on different surfaces and under various conditions (walk, trot, canter, and lunging on hard and soft ground).
✔️ Flexion Tests – Assessing joint mobility and response to pressure to detect early signs of arthritis or joint stress.
✔️ Neurological Assessment – Ensuring the horse’s balance, coordination, and responsiveness are normal.
✔️ X-Rays & Digital Imaging – High-resolution radiographs to inspect hooves, joints, tendons, and bones for fractures, abnormalities, or early signs of wear.
✔️ Endoscopy (If Required) – Evaluating airway function for racehorses and sport horses where respiratory efficiency is crucial.
✔️ Blood Tests & Drug Screening – Detecting hidden health concerns, metabolic imbalances, or traces of performance-enhancing substances.
📌 Advanced Diagnostic Testing such as ultrasounds, MRI scans, and genetic screening can be arranged for buyers requesting deeper evaluations.
🔹 How Can I Request a PPE & X-Rays Before Purchasing a Horse?
BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED makes the process simple and convenient:
1️⃣ Select a Horse & Contact the Seller – Once you identify a horse of interest, request detailed medical records and seller disclosures.
2️⃣ Schedule a PPE with a Certified Veterinarian – Choose from our network of trusted equine veterinarians, or use your own.
3️⃣ Review X-Rays & Reports – Get high-resolution images and a complete vet assessment before making a final decision.
4️⃣ Negotiate Based on Findings – If minor concerns arise, buyers can negotiate pricing or seek additional medical assessments.
📌 All X-rays and veterinary reports are provided in digital format for easy review by your own equine specialist.
🔹 Can I Use My Own Veterinarian for a PPE?
Yes! Buyers may choose their own veterinarian to conduct the exam or work with one of our recommended certified equine veterinarians. We encourage buyers to be actively involved in the vetting process to ensure transparency and peace of mind.
🔹 How Long Does a PPE Take?
✔️ Basic Examinations (Flexion tests, movement analysis, and physical check-up) – 1 to 2 hours.
✔️ Full PPE with X-Rays (Including bloodwork, imaging, and neurological testing) – 4 to 6 hours.
✔️ Advanced Diagnostics (MRI, Endoscopy, or Genetic Screening) – Up to 24-48 hours, depending on test results.
📌 Reports and X-rays are usually available within 24 hours, allowing buyers to make timely decisions.
🔹 Does a PPE Guarantee That a Horse is Problem-Free?
A PPE does not guarantee absolute perfection, but it provides a highly detailed assessment to help buyers make an informed decision. Horses are living athletes, and like all athletes, they may have minor imperfections that do not necessarily impact performance or longevity. The goal of the PPE is to:
✔️ Identify existing or potential health concerns.
✔️ Help buyers assess if the horse is suitable for their intended discipline.
✔️ Provide a clear medical history before finalizing the purchase.
📌 Buyers should discuss the findings of the PPE with their veterinarian and consider factors like intended use, workload, and personal goals before proceeding with the purchase.
🔹 What If a Horse Fails the PPE?
If a horse shows significant medical concerns, the buyer has several options:
✔️ Negotiate a Price Reduction – If the condition can be managed with veterinary care.
✔️ Request Additional Testing – For borderline cases where more information is needed.
✔️ Decline the Purchase & Continue Searching – If the findings indicate major health risks or performance limitations.
📌 BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED encourages buyers to make well-informed decisions based on veterinary findings. Our platform ensures that all horses meet the highest health standards before listing.
📢 Buying with Confidence – Request a PPE Today!

🔹 How Are Payments Handled?
Ensuring secure and reliable transactions is a top priority at BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED. While we do not directly process payments, we provide a safe and transparent marketplace where buyers and sellers can communicate securely and finalize transactions with confidence.
Since equine transactions often involve high-value assets, BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED strongly recommends using secure payment methods to protect both parties and facilitate a smooth purchasing process.
✅ Recommended Payment Methods for Buying Horses
✔️ Bank Transfers (Wire Transfers) – Preferred for Large Transactions
💳 Why?: Secure, trackable, and commonly used for high-value purchases.
📌 Recommended for:
- Buyers who want a direct, verified transaction with the seller.
- High-ticket transactions where fund verification and bank security are essential.
- International buyers who need currency conversion support for cross-border purchases.
📌 How it works:
- The buyer and seller agree on payment terms.
- Funds are transferred via a direct bank-to-bank transaction.
- The seller confirms receipt of payment before arranging transport.
⚠️ Important Note: Always verify the seller’s bank details and identity before initiating a transfer. BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED recommends requesting an official invoice and sales agreement before proceeding.
✔️ Escrow Services – Extra Security for High-Value Purchases
💰 Why?: Adds a layer of financial protection by holding the payment until the horse is successfully delivered.
📌 Recommended for:
- Buyers who are purchasing from a new seller or an unfamiliar breeder.
- High-value purchases where third-party verification is necessary.
- International transactions requiring added buyer protection.
📌 How it works:
1️⃣ Both parties agree on terms and use a trusted escrow service.
2️⃣ The buyer deposits funds into a secure escrow account.
3️⃣ The seller releases the horse once the payment is confirmed.
4️⃣ The funds are released to the seller only after the buyer receives the horse and confirms satisfaction.
⚠️ Avoid Unverified Escrow Services! Ensure that any escrow provider used is officially licensed and reputable. BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED can recommend escrow services upon request.
⚠️ Payment Methods to Avoid
🚫 Cash Transactions for High-Value Sales – Untrackable & Risky
🚫 Peer-to-Peer Payment Apps (Venmo, PayPal Friends & Family, etc.) – Limited buyer protection
📌 Buyer Protection Tips – Ensuring a Secure Payment Process
✔️ Verify the Seller – BLACK HORSE INN LIMITED only allows verified sellers on the platform, but buyers should still request official documentation (passport, registration papers, competition records, etc.) before making payment.
✔️ Request an Invoice & Sales Agreement – Always ask for a written contract that outlines payment terms, refund policies, and horse ownership transfer details.
✔️ Use a Safe & Trusted Payment Channel – Avoid non-traceable payment methods and opt for bank transfers or escrow services for added security.
