Yes, perhaps. If you're ready to take a chance that no matter what happens, you'll have that horse for life, even if it can't be sold, you don't click, or it's missold. Alternatively, it can be returned to the dealer, and so on. I would always have it vetted if it was unseen. There are lots of shady people out there who might try to sell you something wrong or sickly looking. The best place to find a good deal on a horse is at a auction. You can test-ride many horses before you buy them, which helps you know whether they're right for you. Once you find the horse you want, call the seller back and make an offer. If they refuse, walk away! You can always look around for other horses to buy. It's very important to research any horse you're interested in buying. Check out its pedigree, talk to other people who have bought or ridden horses before, and check out its physical condition. If you have concerns about anything, don't buy that horse! You should also understand that when you buy a horse, you're basically hiring someone to care for your horse, feed it, exercise it (if necessary), and provide medical attention as needed. So, you need to make sure that you can afford to pay someone else to take care of your horse before you buy it.
