⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE – EQUINE INFLUENZA PROTOCOLS ⚠️
Due to the current outbreak of Equine Influenza across the UK, we are implementing additional biosecurity measures for ALL competitors attending our events, in line with current guidance from British Showjumping, British Dressage and the Equine Infectious Disease Action Group.
🐴 BRITISH SHOWJUMPING & BRITISH DRESSAGE COMPETITORS
ALL BS and BD competitors MUST report to the secretary’s office with their horse’s passport BEFORE UNLOADING.
✔ Passports will be checked to ensure vaccinations are fully compliant with current BS/BD rules.
❌ Horses without a passport, or with incomplete/lapsed vaccinations, will NOT be permitted to unload or compete.
Please ensure you allow extra time on arrival for these checks to take place.
🐴 UNAFFILIATED COMPETITORS (at the moment, we may change this according to the situation so please stay aware)!
We will also be carrying out random passport and vaccination checks at unaffiliated events, so please ensure your horse’s passport is with you and vaccinations are up to date.
By attending our venue, competitors confirm that:
• the horse is compliant with current vaccination requirements
• the horse has not shown signs of respiratory illness within the previous 14 days
• the horse has not been in contact with suspected or confirmed Equine Influenza cases within the previous 14 days
Any horse showing signs of illness, including coughing, nasal discharge, raised temperature, lethargy or swollen glands, must not attend the venue.
We also ask all competitors to follow sensible biosecurity measures:
• do not share water buckets or equipment
• avoid nose-to-nose contact between horses
• maintain good hygiene around tack, equipment and vehicles
• minimise time spent on site where possible
These measures are being introduced to help protect the health and welfare of all horses and to ensure competitions can continue safely.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. 🐎
