A reminder that ALL horses will be required to be on a 6 monthly vaccination schedule in order to be cleared to race for the 2023 season onwards.

An initial primary course of three vaccinations must be given (V1, V2 and V3): the second vaccination (V2) must now be administered within 21-60 days of the first vaccination.

Horses must not attend any official BHRC fixture/venue until 7 days after the second vaccination of the primary course.

Vaccine 3 (V3) must then be administered within 120-180 days of the administration of the second vaccination (V2).

Boosters should be administered no more than 6 calendar months apart, according to calendar months rather than a fixed number of days. For example, a horse that is fully vaccinated on 01 January would require a booster on or before 01 July.

These rules also apply to children’s ponies taking part in exhibitions.
