A friend of mine is getting a horse vetted this afternoon. The horse has been used for showjumping at about 1.20m - 1.40m heights up till now and she wants to do some eventing with it

Can anyone think of any questions that might be worth asking the vet?
 
What kind of vetting is she having done?

We just purchased a 1.30m showjumper and had a five-stage vetting done before purchase! Anything we wanted to know was included in that to be honest, clear wind, good heart etc :)
 
I always make sure I brief the vet very clearly about the level of work I am expecting from the horse.
I also flag up things that I noticed from the viewing that I think want an opinion on ( I make notes of my viewings in the car as soon as they are finished) .
