Booking Summer Camps

Ideally the child / pony combination should attend 3 rallies or a camp prep day before camp so that we can ensure that they are in the most suitable ride. More information will be available from camp organisers.

Bursaries are available if there is a financial barrier to attending Summer Camp. Contact Lisa Powell for details.

Flu vaccinations

https://pcuk.org/media/qeslxj4g/the-pony-club-equine-influenza-vaccination-rule-2024-v7.pdf

Pony Club Camps and many competitions require complete up to date Flu Vaccinations. Even if you have an old pony who has had an annual booster for many years the Flu vaccination Record may not be complete. To be complete the Vaccinations must start with 3 primary injections, this may be at the start or even in the middle of the recorded injections.

Your pony cannot attend camp if there is a discrepancy on his vaccination record so please check it well before camp; at least 1 in 6 had discrepancies last year all of which could be resolved in time by checking records EARLY.

If the annual booster is late then the process must start again and include all three primary injections.

A horse/pony may compete or go to camp 7 days after the second primary vaccination, it must then receive the third primary to make the record complete there after annual injections.

1st Injection – X

2nd Injection – between 21 and 92 days after the first.

3rd injection – between 150 and 215 days after the second (7 months)

Annual booster within the 12 months of the third, it must not be after the date of the last injection ie Last injection 03/03/22 next due on or before 03/03/23.
