Equine Pre-Purchase Examination Form

Professional Equine Pre-Purchase Exams Made Simple

Purchasing a horse is a significant investment, and a thorough pre-purchase examination is essential for protecting both buyers and sellers. This Equine Pre-Purchase Examination Form provides veterinary professionals with a structured, comprehensive template to document every aspect of the evaluation—from initial physical assessment through advanced diagnostic imaging.

Designed for Equine Veterinary Practices

Whether you're an established equine practice or a mobile veterinary service, this form streamlines the pre-purchase exam process by capturing:

• Complete horse identification and history including age, breed, discipline, and current use
• Systematic physical examination covering conformation, body condition, vital signs, and visual assessment
• Detailed soundness evaluation with gait analysis at walk, trot, and canter on various surfaces
• Flexion test protocols for all limbs with standardized timing and observation
• Radiograph and imaging options allowing buyers to select specific views and diagnostic services
• Comprehensive findings and recommendations with space for veterinary consultation notes

Streamline Your Practice Workflow

This form replaces paper clipboards and scattered notes with a professional digital workflow. After each examination, you can automatically send detailed reports to buyers, maintain organized records for your practice, and even integrate submission data with your practice management system using Stepper to trigger follow-up appointments, imaging requests, or invoice generation.

For practices that need buyers to sign acknowledgment of findings or limitation of liability statements, you can seamlessly connect this form to Papersign to collect legally binding eSignatures as part of your examination workflow.

Built for Mobile and In-Field Exams

Equine veterinarians often conduct pre-purchase exams on-site at farms, barns, and training facilities. This form works beautifully on mobile devices, allowing you to complete evaluations in the field with full offline capability, then sync when you're back online. The clean, professional design ensures clients see your practice as modern and organized, while the conditional logic adapts the form based on examination findings and selected diagnostic options.
