Buy a horse in Iran: compare current sale listings by breed, age, training, location and asking price, then verify documents and arrange an independent pre-purchase veterinary exam.
Start with the job the horse must do, your riding experience and the full ownership budget. An asking price is a starting point for comparison, not proof of suitability, health or value.
Compare age, breed, temperament, training and competition record against the rider's ability and intended discipline. Ride the horse more than once in conditions close to its future work.
Check the passport, microchip, pedigree and ownership records against the horse in front of you. Ask for training, competition, vaccination, farriery and veterinary history.
Use a veterinarian chosen by the buyer. The examination should reflect the intended use of the horse, and any important claims or conditions should be written into the sale agreement.
