As a committee we endeavour to keep camp fresh and provide a fun and safe environment for everyone who attends, with our child members at the core of this. With that said there will be a little ‘shake up’ of camp this year! however in order to plan how that will work we are taking registrations only at this time with a refundable £25 deposit should your child no longer wish to attend once all camp information is finalised and released.
As always, your committee are on hand with any questions – please direct these to me (Secretary) in the first instance.
Many thanks,
Emily Shimell

All horse and ponies that attend camp MUST BE VACCINATED as per the rules set out below. Please provide me with a picture of your passport as soon as your horse/pony is vaccinated to cover this year to ensure that it complies and we don’t have any mishaps nearer to camp! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact myself, or Lindsay Hotchkiss who will be more than happy to advise.

The Pony Club Equine Influenza VACCINATION RULE
(No changes for 2026)
To protect the health of all horses and ponies and the biosecurity of the
venue, the following rules will apply to all Pony Club activities. Members
competing with other organisations , such as FEI , BHA and HPA , or at
certain venues, for example racecourses, will need to comply with their
vaccination requirements.
1. Passports
A valid passport (registered on the Central Equine Database) and
vaccination record:
• must accompany the horse / pony to all activities
• must be available for inspection by the event officials
• must be produced on request at any other time during the activity
2. Equine Influenza Vaccination Schedule :
No horse / pony may attend an activity, compete or be present as a
companion unless it has a Record of Vaccination against equine influenza
completed by the veterinary surgeon who gave the vaccination, signed
and stamped line by line, which complies with t he Minimum Vaccination
Requirements set out in the Equine Influenza Vaccination Schedule below .
All horses and ponies receiving a new primary course of vaccinations must
be vaccinated according to th is schedule :
• initial primary course of two vaccinations (V1 and V2) must be given: the
second vaccination (V2) must be administered within 21-60 days of the
first initial vaccination (V1)
• Horses may attend activities 7 full days after receiving the second
vaccination of the primary course (V2).
• A first booster vaccination (V3) must be administered within 120 – 180
days of the administration of the second vaccination of the primary
course.
The Pony Club Safety & Welfare Jan 202 6
• Thereafter booster vaccinations must be administered at a maximum
of 12 months intervals.
Horses and ponies must not attend activities within 7 days of receiving any
vaccination. For clarity: no horse or pony may compete on the same day as
a relevant injection is given or on any of the 6 days following such an
injection.
NB: This is the minimally appropriate booster schedule; it is highly
recommended that horses and ponies competing regularly and travelling
around the UK and abroad follow an optimal schedule and receive a
booster within 6 months +21 days prior to arrival at the event or activity , in
line with the FEI protocol.
Restart
Any horse which is found to have breached the requirements above in
relation to V1 (initial vaccination); V2 (second vaccination) and V3 (first
booster), or exceeded 12 months between subsequent boosters, must
restart and receive a minimum of V1 & V2 and h ad a 7 day post -vaccine
stand -down before being allowed entry to a n y Pony Club activity.
Historic Vaccinations
o Horses that received the primary course prior to 1 January 2024 are
permitted to have an interval of up to 92 days between the first (V1)
and second (V2) vaccination of the primary course and for the first
booster (V3) an interval of up to 7 months following the date of the
administration of vaccination V2.
o For the period 1st October 2022 to 31st December 2022, lower risk
equines may have, with veterinary advice and approval, extended
the annual booster period to 15 months if there was a genuine
veterinary shortage of vaccine. The subsequent booster should
ha ve been made within 9 months, resulting in 2 booster
vaccinations in 2 years and making the 2023 vaccine booster date
no more than 24 months from the 2021 due date. Vaccination
records which have this extension clearly approved and annotated
by the vet wil l be accepted at Pony Club and BHS Riding Club
events, but other venues and competitive bodies may insist on a
12month interval and hence if a booster is missed a restart may be
necessary.
