Hi, when i know when you take your horse to get measured you have to have there shoes taken off, but do there feet need triming or is just having the shoes off ok.

Many thanks in advance

When I had my daughters pony measured I coincided it with my regular shoeing. Farrier took shoes off and trimmed pony up, i took him off to be measured whilst farrier shod the rest of my lot, got pony measured went home and had the shoes put on

On jmb website if says . "The animal must have all four shoes removed and the feet must be correctly prepared and balanced as for shoeing with the wall taken down level with the bearing edge of the sole. "

a 148cm pony can meaure 151cm with shoes at a show as it would be classed as being at competition fitness, if you then take the pony to be measured it must without shoes then measure 148cm

depends on how questionable the height of the pony is? but to be on safe side remove shoes and trim back and take for measuring! depends if it is a little 14.2 or a whopper!!!
