Important Information for Trainers from IRB Veterinarians
Important information for working off the vet's list
The horse needs to be examined by their veterinarian prior to the work and turn in paperwork that the horse is fit to work for the regulatory veterinarian
The appointment needs to be made a minimum of 48 hours prior to working so that we can get HIWU approval to collect blood or urine samples.
The horse should be in the current trainer’s name in HISA
On the day of the work, there will be a pre-work exam by the regulatory veterinarian
The responsible person should make sure the regulatory veterinarian knows which horse on the track is theirs
There will be a post-work exam by the veterinarian
Blood will be drawn even if the horse fails the work (Per HIWU)
Each horse gets 1 free sample from HIWU every 365 days when they work for a regulatory veterinarian
The horse will need to go 4F in 52.0 or 5F in 1:02.0 unless a regulatory vet in another jurisdiction has a different requirement
