VETERAN HORSE SOCIETY

EQUINE WELFARE

All animals ridden anywhere on the Showground, rings or lorry parks (day or night), must only be ridden by a rider whose size and weight does not compromise the animal’s welfare. We are operating under the 20% rider weight guideline where the rider in full riding attire with full tack must be less than 20% of the animal’s bodyweight. This is based on a relatively fit, healthy animal, as an overweight animal is also a welfare concern.

EQUINE INFLUENZA AND TETANUS VACCINATION

Equine Influenza and Tetanus vaccinations are compulsory requirements for all horses attending the North Devon Show. The requirement for the first three EI vaccinations is as follows: the first two vaccinations 21-92 days apart, a third booster between 150-215 days, and an annual booster vaccination within 365 days thereafter. No horse should enter competitions/arrive on the showground within seven days of an EI vaccination. Tetanus vaccination and boosters should be administered in line with the requirements of the corresponding datasheet for the licensed vaccine used by the horse owner/keeper’s veterinary practice.

Foals should commence vaccinations at 6 months old. This rule may be subject to change from guidance from the FEI/BEF and any changes will be notified via the Showing Council and ASAO websites.

We urge all owners to adhere to strict biosecurity protocols at all times. Vaccinations are subject to local risk assessments by the attending veterinarians.

PLEASE NOTE THAT NEITHER VACCINATION CERTIFICATES NOR PASSPORTS SHOULD BE SENT TO THE SHOW OFFICE PRIOR TO THE EVENT. HOWEVER, RANDOM CHECKS WILL BE CARRIED OUT ON THE SHOWGROUND DURING THE SHOW

SECURITY/GATE STAFF WILL BE COLLECTING ALL EXHIBITORS ADMISSION PASSES AT ENTRANCES TO THE SHOWGROUND
