The average person isn't going to haul a proposed purchase to a vet to have
them x-rayed.
Instead, one could do what I originally said, GO LOOK at the parents, grands
and greats. Talk to other folks who have the same line. Something you
can't do with a grade horse of UNKNOWN heritage.

purebred. Something with a known history. There are lots of ranches that
raise working horses from purebred stock. You can usually see generations
of the same bloodlines and judge for themselves, well, except for you since

and won't, I'd call up someone who has my own breeding stock and get a horse
from a source *I* know (and trust) and bloodlines I know to be sound and
reliable.
