Is it safer to buy an ex-racehorse a wild mustang or a horse from an auction?
With an ex race horse you may well be purchasing all its pre-existing injuries. With a wild mustang, if you EVER manage to catch one ( thus the name WILD) you will spend hundreds of dollars trying to break it, and still it may not take. With an auction horse it is best to have a vet close by to check it over thoroughly before the purchase. There will be a time period before the auction where one can observe the horses, this is where the vet would come in handy. I would say an suction horse would be your best bet!
