As a result of the current Equine Flu situation, a number of BE event venues have made the decision to put in extra precautionary measures and protocols with regards to flu vaccinations. British Eventing members will therefore need to ensure that they are abiding with these extra protocols if they are planning on competing at these venues.
Ahead of the transition to the new website a scheduled migration of data will be taking place tomorrow evening. As a result of this work being carried out training course bookings will be unavailable from 5.30pm on Thursday 14th February for up to 24 hours.
In light of the recent additional vaccination policy requirements published by Hartpury College this morning: if your horse has had a booster recently then you must leave 6 days clear before arriving at the venue (Hartpury College), we have regrettably taken the decision to postpone the Jump Training Championships.
Athlete/Horse combinations will obtain a regular qualifying result as usual if minimum eligibility requirements are met.
Course designer Helen West will implement significant changes at Nunney International Horse Trials this year.
The British Equestrian Federation (BEF) notes the latest update from the Animal Health Trust (AHT) that there have been three further positive tests for equine flu in Kent, Derbyshire and central Scotland.
Statement from the British Equestrian Federation on Equine Flu:
