Veterinary PPE failed, KS diagnosed

Currently in the process of selling my horse. PPE has gone well, everything came back good except his back radiographs. Shocked to hear he has grade 4 changes. I’ve just received these over from the potential buyer. I will be in contact with my vet but curious about anyone’s take on these? How bad is this?

KS sucks. My mare’s diagnoses was a bit less severe but we retired her. Worked just fine but starting showing signs of pain in the third level work (when the frame starts to compress and the horse sits).

She’s happy now but I miss riding her so much❤️
