In 2020, all BC events will follow the FEI ‘flu vaccination’ rule.
The following SCDA events will also comply with FEI rules and require six month boosters:
- Training events at Seacliff, The Pines, and Townfoot
- Dunbog
- Hopetoun (May BC event and July Club event)
- Raehills
- Townfoot
However, the following venues will only require annual vaccinations:
- Cothal
- Coxhill
- Fountain
- Lourin
With our mix of venues, where we are all guests, and yards that our equines come from, it is sensible to protect our equines’ welfare as best we can.
Please comply with the yard regulations so that our venues are as protected as much as possible.
To aid organisers please send a photo of your vaccination pages and the front cover of your passport to the SCDA secretary as soon as your equine complies with this protocol
