There are increased cases of Equine Influenza in the UK and so we have shared below the British Dressage advice on travelling and competing with your horse . Please note that any horses and riders attending at Kilgraston for clinics, training or any reason must be vaccinated against equine flu. Please bring your passports with you so that we can check vaccination records if required. You may notice some additional measures such as disinfectant being used and we would ask that if you are a visitor to the yard that you try to keep a four metre distance from our resident horses and do not allow your horse to touch other horses during your visit. These measures are in place to protect eveyone and minimise the risk of infection and we know that you will all work together and with us to try and keep our horses healthy and safe.
Thank you for reading and please do have a look at the useful BD guidance attached if you plan to compete.
Best wishes
Team Cairn
As a result of the increase in reported cases of equine influenza, the Equine Infectious Diseases Action Group has recommended that there needs to be a period of increased vigilance and monitoring to help prevent a further spread of the disease.
