To give this some perspective, I once had to employ a vet to perform a vetting on a horse that my daughter wanted to purchase. The cost of the 5* vetting included the price of taking bloods and sending it away for analysis. The horse failed the lameness tests and therefore the requirement to have the bloods taken and analysed was no longer necessary. This decision did not result in me having to pay the vet more for not having the bloods taken.
