A pre-purchase exam is one of the most important parts of buying a horse, but it isn't a crystal ball.

It's easy to think a horse either "passes" or "fails" a PPE, but the reality is far more nuanced. A pre-purchase exam is a snapshot in time that helps evaluate risk, not predict the future. Radiographs, physical findings, and veterinary recommendations are all valuable pieces of information, but they're just one part of a much bigger decision.
