As a Vet Sec...I wanna say THANK YOU for Step #1! I can't tell you how important it is to TAKE YOUR CARD OUT OF IT'S PLASTIC BAG, unfold it and hand it quickly to the Vet Sec. The Vet Sec's job is to make sure he/she is capturing all the information the Vet is discovering about your horse and write it down for you and future Vets on your card. He/she doesn't have time to pull cards out of bags, saddle packs etc...that's the rider's job.

This is a very good presentation of how a horse should be presented so the veterinarian can get a through exam at a ride. In my long-time experience of training horses, I have found that all horses can learn to stand quietly, let the veterinarian do an examination, and be able to trot out on a loose rope both away and back to the veterinarian. Lots of homework helps.
