SCOTTISH COMPETITORS - EQUINE FLU

Please note Show Centres will be asking to check passports before your horses or ponies are unloaded at British Showjumping shows in Scotland from now. If you do not have your passport with up to date vaccination details you will be asked to leave the showground immediately.

Please keep an eye on the Show Centre websites and facebook pages for updates and/or contact them directly to check the bio security measures each are taking before attending your chosen show.

As has been demonstrated in this outbreak, vaccinations are vital in tackling the spread of the disease so all owners MUST ensure their vaccination records are up to date. If it’s been longer than 6 months since the last vaccination, we strongly recommend discussing a booster with their veterinary surgeon.

The vaccination rule is below:

British Showjumping Flu Vaccination Rule 42.5
Flu vaccinations are mandatory for all registered horses and ponies and they must be in possession of a valid flu vaccination certificate. It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that the horse's vaccinations are up to date and correctly recorded on the diagrammatic vaccination record. Spot checks will be regularly carried out at shows. The horse/pony must have received two injections for primary vaccination against equine influenza given no less than 21 days and no more than 92 days apart. Only these two injections need to have been given before a horse/pony can compete in competitions. In addition, a first booster injection must be given no less than 150 days and no more than 215 days after the second injection of the primary vaccination. Subsequently, booster injections must be given at intervals of not more than one year apart.
