Pre-Purchase Examinations
Due to our extensive qualifications and experience, Hanse Equine Hospital is able to offer you a pre-purchase examination that adheres to international standards. For this, we make use of the standard pre-purchase examinations recommended by the German Society for Equine Medicine (GPM – Gesellschaft für Pferdemedizin), which have been broadened to conform to international requirements.
X-ray examinations are generally carried out using the2018 X-ray guidelines,and evaluated on this basis too. Further examinations, such as the following,
- Cervical spine X-rays
- Back X-rays
- Blood tests
- Upper-airway endoscopies
- Overground endoscopies (on the lunge or while being ridden)
- Ultrasound examinations
can be used to offer more detail for individual pre-purchase examinations.
If you are planning to export a horse, certain laboratory investigations are required, and country-specific import conditions must also be considered.
All documentation of medical examinations, as well as client communication, can be provided in English.
