Epilogue
We negotiated a fair price for three horses. We gave the Danish veterinarian our list of requests including blood work necessary for import, drug screen, 30 radiographs and a videotape of the physical exam and waited for their reports, which was reviewed by our veterinarian. If they pass, they will be insured and then we will make plans for shipping. When they arrive in New York, they will go to quarantine in Newburgh, N.Y., where they will stay for a few days. Then we can pick them up or have them shipped to our farm. Only later will we learn: Are they what we expected? Is there a fatal flaw that we didn't detect? Are they even better than we thought. We'll find out.
In the end, we brought one horse home, which was about average for us. And it was a fun-filled, educational week!
