BRC Rulebook 2016

Change to BRC Flu Vac Rules - Sept 2021

“As part of the BHS, horse welfare is obviously paramount, however in the current climate the risk of a flu outbreak is at this time minimal.

BRC are therefore comfortable to remove the requirement of a vaccination within 6 months and 21 days of a qualifier or championship. This will be with immediate effect, however we will continue to strongly recommend a 6 month vaccination when attending BRC qualifiers and championships and maintaining good biosecurity protocols.

In order to compete in a BRC qualifier and/or championships the annual vaccinations (12 month) and initial course must be correct as per G7 of the Handbook.

BRC reserve the right to amend these vaccination rules should another outbreak occur”.

BRC Hat Guidelines 2016 - Information For Competitors

For 2016, all members will be required to have their hats tagged with a new ORANGE hat tag before competing in any BRC Qualifiers or Championships. When you arrive at the competition, take your hat with you when you go to declare. The Official Steward will then check that your hat complies with an accepted standard. For more information regarding the new standards, check the British Riding Club website. Their guidelines are also HERE.

Further information regarding protective headgear can also be found on pages 18 and 19 of the British Riding Clubs 2016 Rulebook or CLICK HERE.

Equine Influenza

Please take special note of the rules that apply to Equine Influenza vaccination. These rules are applied very strictly at Area and Championship competitions and it is a good idea to check, well in advance of competing, that your horse’s vaccination certificate is up to date and that all the individual dates on the certificate comply with the current vaccination rulings.
