ALL OF IT
1.Diagnosis by the Vet of an illness or injury
2.Prescription of a certain drug or treatment that is meant to remedy that specific illness or injury
3. Entered electronically.

I agree, however it may be difficult to police with trainers offsite that may be able to treat the horse themselves. Remember even at beautiful Fair Hill you can have needles and those horses ship in to run against ours every day.
I worry about joint injection history and things that would make a horse crash. I'm assuming thyro-l would be one of those things. This really ticks md off because I would never have thought that a horses body was withdrawing from this. Wonder if that would explain hair loss?
Not so worried about shoe history. Really don't think you need a vet rx for this.
