Flu vaccinations – please ensure your vaccinations adhere to these rules, you (and possibly your team) will be eliminated if they do not.
This rule applies in respect of any horse (or other equid) which attends a BRC area qualifier and/or championship.Any horse attending a BRC area qualifier and/or championship as a companion (i.e. is not competing) must have written permission before attending the competition.The horse must have been vaccinated against equine influenza by a veterinary surgeon, in accordance with the following rules:Vaccination courses started before 1 January 2024 may follow either of the intervals set out in this section. However, any errors with first booster (V3) (which should be given either between 150 – 215 days, or 120 – 180 days after the second primary injection) or annual booster given BEFORE 1 January 2021 may be ignored provided that:• the first two primary injections are correct i.e. the second given between 21 and 92 days after the first• all annual boosters given AFTER 1 January 2021 are correct.No injection should have been given on any of the 6 days before the competition and/or entry to competition stables. For example: if the horse is vaccinated on the Monday, the horse will not be eligible to enter championship stables, or compete until the following Monday.

Horses may compete providing that they have had the first two primary injections providing the second vaccination (V2) is not in any of the 6 preceding days of entry to the competition or competition stabling.

The vaccination section of the horse’s passport, and any alterations made, must have been completed and signed or stamped by a Veterinary Surgeon.

SWDRC reserve the right to prohibit anyone with any outstanding fees owed to the club from participating in future Team events or attending Clinics.SWDRC Team Withdrawal Policy
Once a member has received confirmation of a team place from a team manager, we are unable to refund any team contributions paid under any circumstances, and any unpaid fees must still be paid. SWDRC reserve the right to prohibit anyone with any outstanding fees owed to the club from participating in future Team events or attending Clinics.

SWDRC Team Championship Policy
Should a team qualify for a National Championship, SWDRC reserve the right to withdraw and/or replace any original team member for the Championships whose performance at Area level was below that which is required to compete at National level.

SWDRC Team Championship Entry Fee Policy
Should a team/individual qualify for a National Championship, SWDRC will endeavour to subsidise the Championship entry fees. However, due to the unprecedented success of the club’s teams in recent years team members will be asked to make a small contribution towards Championship entry fees to ensure teams remain financially viable for the club. Competitors receiving ‘wildcard’ invitations to Championships may be asked to pay the full Championship entry fee.
