About this listen

In this episode of Show Jumping 101, hosts Joanne Sloane Allen and Sameh El Dahan engage with Marcus Swail, a leading veterinarian in the equine industry, to demystify the complexities surrounding pre-purchase vettings. The conversation covers the nature of vettings as risk assessments rather than pass/fail evaluations, the importance of interpreting clinical findings and imaging, and the evolving trends in equine health assessments. The discussion emphasizes the need for buyers and sellers to manage their expectations and understand the context of veterinary findings, particularly in relation to a horse's competition history and suitability for intended use.
