Potential new horse failed vetting

Thought we had found a nice natured family horse. Bit young, but sensible type. Had it vetted and failed. 1-2 after flex test and uneven behind lunged on hard service. Apparently shod badly behind. Vet suggests letting sellers have it shod properly and re-vetting in a couple of weeks, or walking away. Also commented thought it seemed a bit green for what we are looking for (not much clue about lunging??).

Head says walk away, heart says there?s something about it that?s worth a second chance. Hmm The how green is too green is freaking me out a bit, to be honest. Sigh. Confused

Well, after much changing of minds and changing it back again, I spoke to the vet and they are going back out in a week on Thursday to try again. Horse was re shoed on Friday.

If it fails this time or if there is any funny business from the dealer I'm walking away. Also having bloods done in the event of any substances being applied.
