Valid Passport and Vaccination Record

You do still need to bring your passport to show your total vaccination records (12 month rule for boosters applies for Schooling) as we will be undertaking random inspections on both horses and passports. Regrettably if you come on site without your passport, or when checked, we discover that your passport is non-compliant you will not be able to ride the course and will be unable to issue a refund.

The minimum vaccination requirements are as follows:

  • a Primary Vaccination followed by a Secondary Vaccination given not less than 21 days and not more than 92 days after the Primary Vaccination.
  • if sufficient time has elapsed, a Booster Vaccination given not less than 150 days and not more than 215 days after the Secondary Vaccination, with further Booster Vaccinations given not more than 365 days apart.
  • the record of vaccination in the horse’s passport must be completed by a veterinary surgeon, dated, signed and stamped line by line.
