PPE vet recommendation near Charleston, WV?

Looking to buy a prospect/project sight unseen from a friend of a friend and would like a basic PPE done. Can anyone recommend a good, honest vet near Charleston, WV? (Not to be confused with Charles Town, WV! Who named these places?? :lol:)

no recommendations, but I just want to say good luck! You deserve a fun horse to ride after the injuries and issues you’ve had over the last couple of years.

Aww thanks, Element!! :slight_smile: I did buy an absolutely wonderful horse last year so I’ve had lots of fun with him. Unfortunately the nail in the hoof will lay him up for a while but it does leave some time/energy for a project.

I’m also no help but I hope the PPE goes well and you get a really fun project to work with while Z heals up.

@Libby2563 sounds about right :lol:

What a face!! Such a cutie, I can see why you are tempted.

Hey. I live in Wayne County. I use the Equine Center in Chesapeake, OH. If you want me to I can message you their number. They are really, I mean REALLY, good

well, I’m an enabler–I say do it! that face is darling!

That gives you something to ride and have fun with while Z heals from his hoof injury, and while your spreadsheets show that it’s hard to make money with a project horse, you could always go into it with a ā€˜lease’ mentality: If you plan to have fun with a new horse for a few months until Z is better, and then sell, then the extra care costs are like free leasing something to ride, but you’re not saddled with the extra expenses indefinitely…

This is from someone who has more horses than I have time to work with, so I’m probably not the best ā€˜adulty’ model.

@Gypsy My Girl, thanks, I will look them up!!

@ElementFarm , yeah that’s kind of what I’m thinking! I don’t expect to make a profit on a horse pretty much ever but I’d like to have something fun to bring along without the pressure of finding a ā€œforeverā€Ā horse.

Did you ever find an Equine Vet?

I haven’t followed up because the seller is being a bit unrealistic on price. :frowning:
