Checking of Passports and Equine Influenza Vaccinations
Each horse’s passport/flu certificate must accompany the horse on the day of the competition and must be presented to the Secretary on arrival at the competition. Failure to have a valid flu certificate on the day will result in elimination of that competitor.
Checking of Hats and Hat Tags
For 2018 all BRC members will be required to have their hats tagged with a new AQUA coloured hat tag before competing in any BRC Qualifiers or Championships. (This Aqua tag will apply to BRC, BE and Pony Club events.) 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, and will place an aqua BRC tag on it. It is a good idea to allow a little extra time when arriving at a competition for this to be done. Please note, you will not be allowed to ride anywhere at that event if your hat has not been tagged. It is the competitor’s responsibility to ensure their hat meets the required standard.

Refreshments will be available from Skippers Snacks.
