At all our events, the safety of all participating horses and ponies is extremely important to us. In view of the current threat of Equine Influenza, we are working with our veterinary advisors to minimise the risk of infection:

Obligatory Equine Influenza Vaccinations

Please note that up-to-date influenza vaccinations are an obligatory condition of entry for any British Breeding event. Passports will be spot checked on arrival and must be shown before unloading.

Vaccinations must be carried out every 12 months to provide protection. This means that you need to have your horse or pony vaccinated within 12 months prior to entry. The most recent vaccination must have been given earlier than 7 days before the event date.

Please do not leave it until the final weeks before the event, as you need to give your youngster time to recover from the vaccination.  If you are starting a new course of vaccinations, your horse or pony needs to have had their first 2 vaccinations (a minimum of 3 weeks apart) and the second must be at least 1 week before the date of the Futurity evaluation you are attending.

If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact our team at any time, we will be happy to advise.
