Knee chip on expensive horse

[QUOTE=Groom&Taxi;8402458]
In addition, I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around a trainer who isn’t following through for a client who wants to drop $35k on a horse. That budget may be on the low side for the really high-end BNT, but still…[/QUOTE]

Can happen when people don’t take good advice, tire kick, pick flavors of the day, etc etc.

NO !


No !

In the abstract, for the right job, at the right price I am not opposed to a chip-- but I would NEVER import one with a problem like that. Have you looked in Canada?

I bought a horse once with a “stable” knee chip.
He was gorgeous. Beautiful. Until one day he tripped while playing in the pasture.
Chip was no longer stable. 6K in vet bills later, he was semi-comfortable as a pasture pet.
