JMB height certificate

My coming up 6 year old has his height certificate next Friday. What should I expect with this as I have no idea apart from turn up at 10 o'clock with passport and cheque book haha! This is his/my first one, it it BSPS affiliation!

34. Preparation and Venue for Measurement

1. All measurements must be carried out on a measuring pad that has been inspected by a Steward or Secretary of The Joint Measurement Board Ltd and registered by the Stewards. Where there is doubt the decision of the Stewards will be final.

2. It is the responsibility of the owner, and in his interests, to ensure that the animal is well handled, accustomed to the application of a measuring stick, and correctly prepared for measurement. See Appendix 2

3. 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.

Hope it goes okay for you
Its usually painless, unless you have an animal that is a bit close or on the height limit.
You need them calm and not on their toes if possible - nice and relaxed.
Do not be tempted to get farrier to over-do the feet, vets get snippy about that kind of thing!
