Pre-Purchase Examinations

Pre-purchase examinations can be one of the most stressful parts of horse ownership, both for the buyer and the seller. At Russell Equine, we look to minimize this stress by providing a trusted opinion by tailoring the services provided to the situation at hand.

If you can't be present for your pre-purchase exam, we will arrange to call you during the process to ensure that you are aware of all of our findings and any other services we may recommend.

If you aren't from Canada we can assist you with export paperwork to ensure a hassle-free trip across the border.
