Medical evaluation of the reproductive system relevant to purchase.

Abstract: Medical examination of the reproductive system of mares or stallions relevant to purchase is complex, imprecise, and potentially hazardous legally. In these ways it does not differ from other examinations of animals in which purchase is the objective. It is the responsibility of the veterinary profession to undertake these assignments and complete them as conscientiously as possible. After the examination is completed, communication with the principals and documentation of the procedures are essential to success and to the satisfaction of all involved.
