We offer Joint Measurement Board appointments at Station House Vets.
What is the Joint Measuring Board?
The Joint Measurement Board was established in 1934 to run a national scheme for the Measurement of the height of horses and ponies for the purpose of description and classification of horses and ponies for show and competition.

How do I book a measurement appointment?
First of all you need to have applied and paid for the measurement on the Joint Measurement Board website.
Visit www.thejmbonline.co.uk to read the guide, the rules and the FAQ’s on the JMB website. You can then create an account to start your application process for an appointment.
Once you’ve applied to the JMB and paid them for your measurement, you can give us a call to organise the appointment – 01653 618303.
Please note we have one vet, Clare, who is able to do the measurements so availability of appointments are around her diary, but we will try and accommodate you as much as possible.
What information will I need to give you at Station House Vets?
When you call up to make the appointment you will need to confirm to us that you have applied and paid for the measurement via the JMB website.
We will need to register your name and the animal’s details and then we can go ahead and book your appointment.
What will I need to bring with me to the measuring appointment?
You will need to bring the right horse(s) and their corresponding passports.
Please ensure before you come that you have selected Station House Vets as the correct measurer on the JMB website, so that you have been allocated to us; otherwise we will not be able to proceed.
PLEASE NOTE: Your horse(s) must be presented with no shoes and adequately trimmed feet.
What else is required for the JMB measurement?
Your horse needs to be relaxed and able to stand still.
Your horse should be able to place its front feet in line and its hind feet no more than 15cm (6 inches) out of line with each other. Training your horse to do this in advance will help at the appointment.
What happens during the measurement appointment?
On arrival at Station House Vets (via the Equine entrance), please go to our Small Animal Reception and let the team know you have arrived.
Our team will direct you to our stable block and advise you when to unload your horse.
Clare will identify your horse via the passport and microchip number and ensure they are correct.
Clare will then perform the measurement and record all the details on the form, which will be updated online on the JMB website later.
You will need to sign to confirm the JMB Rules have been observed and that you witnessed the height recorded.
