YOUR HORSE WILL NOT BE SIFTED DUE TO GENERAL MAINTENANCE.  SIFTING WILL RESULT ONLY IF OUR LICENSED VETERINARIAN WHO VIEWS THE IMAGES CANNOT PASS THE HORSE BASED ON THE RADIOGRAPHS ALONE.  We have worked hard to develop a sale with complete transparency, and we know that horses with this amount of training, age and use will not always x-ray perfectly. It is our duty as sale representatives to provide all known information on each horse.  It is the buyers responsibility to educate themselves prior to bidding.
