The Dutch Pre-Purchase Examination for Sporthorses:
Full documentation: including a written veterinary report of both clinical and radiological examination. Ultrasonographic exams, airway (video) endoscopy and digital video of the dynamic examination are available on request.
Static examination: inspection, palpation, confirmation, foot-balance and mobilisation
reflexes of the axial skeleton.
Dynamic examination: walk at a straight line and alternating circles; trot at a straight line
and circles at a hard surface; trot and canter (lunging) at soft surface; flexion tests
Radiographic examination: standard approach for the Dutch Pre-Purchase Examination (PPE) (20 views):

Of course, on request a different set of x-rays can be made. For example, your own veterinarian can send us his or hers requests.
Ultrasonographic examination: If indicated or on request.
Laryngoscopic examination: (upper) airways, video documented on request.
Bloodwork: bloodsamples will always be taken after a clinical examination, we store the serum (frozen) for six months. On request we can sent bloodsamples for health screening / drug testing / import and export purposes to accredited laboratories we work with, like WUR/Lelystad in the Netherlands, AML in Belgium and Böse in Germany.
Our advice is to have your own veterinarian contact us upfront the PPE. If, for example, additional X-rays or examinations are required we are happy to perform them on request.
