🚨 Vet Reg Reminders for Ballindenisk International 🚨

As you will have noticed by now, there are new FEI regulations regarding Equine Influenza vaccinations, which must now be entered into the FEI Horse App. The previously administered historical vaccinations may be entered by the owner, who takes a photo of the horse’s vaccination page from his passport & submits it to the FEI through the app. Booster doses (after Jan 2025) administered by your vet must be entered in both the passport and the app, by the vet, at the time of administration.

Therefore, please make sure that your vet is aware of this requirement before vaccinating your horse. It the vet is not already FEI approved, they will have to submit a form & download the app before getting access to the horse’s record. All information, including ‘how-to’ videos, is available on the FEI website.

DO NOT leave this until the last moment…

Other points to note:
✔️ Make sure to bring the horse, the passport and thermometer to the arrivals area.
✔️ Horse must be under enough control to take its temperature ie; bridle should be worn and 2 people needed for the process!
✔️ Be aware that arrivals area will be closed from 3.15 until 5pm on Wednesday, as vets will be at trot-up.
✔️ Long Format horses must be checked in before going to trot-up and riders may be penalised or eliminated if this is not carried out!
✔️ Short Format horses must be checked in once, even if not stabling on site, so make sure to allow enough time before your dressage.
✔️ Another change this year is that horse’s heart must be checked on arrival, so please be patient.
✔️ Rugs and bandages should be removed before check-in.
✔️ Finally, please note that check-in will be closed at 7pm each evening.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE FROM THE VETERINARY TEAM!!

Equine Care Group was present at the Longines League of Nations in Ocala, providing high-level veterinary support to the competing equine athletes. 

Dr. Marcus Swail from Equivet Ireland, team vet of the Irish Jumping team and Dr. Ugo Carozzo from Clinica Equina San Biagio, team vet of the Italian jumping team, ensured continuous on-site care throughout the event, supporting both performance and welfare at the highest international standard.

We are proud that they are both part of our Ambulatory Care division as collaboration and knowledge sharing are at the core of ECG’s mission. Events like these offer a unique opportunity to work alongside international teams and industry professionals, further strengthening the collective expertise within the equine veterinary community.

🚨FEI VACCINE CHANGES!

From today it is a requirement that ALL FEI registered horses need to have their influenza vaccinations recorded on the FEI HorseApp at the time of vaccination by your vet when they attend the horse. Please let us know at time of vaccine if your horse has an FEI Passport as both completion of the passport and updating of the FEI Horse App must now be completed.

To make this process as easy as it can be, please could you ensure that:

1) Passport is present at the time of vaccination

2) Please remove rugs prior to vaccination as it is necessary for the vet to photograph both sides of the horse to confirm identification

Athletes, Grooms, Owners or Trainers:
After updating your app to the most recent version please enter the previous vaccinations onto the FEI HorseApp prior to your horses vaccination date. This will save considerable time for when the first vaccination is given and recorded after 3/2/25.
