Vaccinations
PASSPORTS MUST BE SHOWN TO THE SECRETARY BEFORE UNLOADING
HORSES! With regards to the ‘Equine Flu’ problem the
Committee has agreed that ALL horses and ponies attending ODRC Shows and
Clinics/Rallies need to have up to date 12 month flu vaccinations. If your
horse has had to re-start his jabs then he will need to have received the first
2 in order to attend. You will be required to produce your horse’s passport to
the secretary before unloading your horse(s). Failure to produce the passport
or a finding of outdated vaccinations will result in you being asked to leave.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
