It is unbelievable anyone would even use this vet in the first place. He obviously is a bad person that can not stop being a scumbag. What comes around goes around!

Both knew the situation of the horse and continued on with the steroid use to cover up the pre-exisiting condition of Zorro. The pre-purchase exam should have had blood drawn to prove toxicity and stop the further abuse of this horse by selling it as a competitive show horse when it was in work with a broken bone in hoof.
The Selleck’s are not at fault here. They bought a horse with no information about this condition and how could they when the vets were even willing to cover it up? The vets license should be pulled and the trainers red flagged by the USEF for this abuse.
It is also NOT the trainers place to be marking on the vet’s pre purchase exam sheet for any knowledge of pre-existing conditions . . . That is to be asked by vet to owner/agent and checked by vet.
I’m sorry for the Selleck family and more so for the horse whom has suffered through this time the most.
