For some top tips on the measurement procedure take a look at the FAQs on the JMB website. https://thejmbonline.co.uk/faqs/

FAQS
Q: How do I get a horse or pony measured?
A: Complete the online Application Form and pay for the Measurement, then once you have done that you can book an appointment with an Official Measurer via telephone. After removing its shoes and having its feet trimmed you can then take your horse to its measuring appointment. It is the Owner’s responsibility to have the animal’s shoes removed and the feet prepared before measurement. The feet should be correctly trimmed and balanced 'as for shoeing'. .... to see more click here https://thejmbonline.co.uk/faqs/
