  Veterinary Report  

Description

Diamonds Hands is a nice gelding who has always shown more ability than he has delivered. We always thought he would get to city grade, but he is yet to meet that mark. Owners are looking to race city-grade races.

He is good to ride but sometimes can be difficult to handle on the ground. He is a lovely big, and sound horse.

Diamond Hands trotted up sound before the vets before going to the spelling paddock on 1st March 2023

Height: 16.1hh

Weight: 483kgs

The vet certificate is attached.

All efforts are made to disclose previous issues with horses offered for sale; we suggest and welcome independent vetting if required.
