“These assessments are based on how these horses respond in their current environment and any change in their current environment, riders, diet, etc could have an effect on the horses' immediate performance. Horses need time to adjust when moved to new surroundings. We highly recommend you visit, spend time with the equines and evaluate the equine before making a decision"

Explain overall Health: Allegra had tendon release surgery when she was eight months old. She had a bone scraping on this same leg ten months later. The vet thinks she is fully recovered. She will always have a lump and a scar on this leg but does not affect her movement at all. Per the vet, she would not be a good candidate for daily ranch work or eventing, but she should be just fine for pleasure riding.
