These provisions include additional water around the site, shortening of competition phases if appropriate and minimising the time on site. Competitors are best placed to know if the conditions will be suitable for their horse or pony, including travel to and from the event. We advise that everyone travels with extra water, buckets and sponges and leave dogs at home if possible. Thank you to all of our hard-working volunteers for the huge amount of careful planning and effort that<br>goes into making events as enjoyable and safe as possible for our members and their horses and ponies.<\/em><br><a href=\"https:\/\/branches.pcuk.org\/oldberkshire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/469\/2026\/06\/Hot-weather-info.pdf\"><strong>Download hot weather advice here<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Equine Flu &amp; Strangles<\/strong><br><br>Equine Flu and Strangles are prevalent on a national scale currently. \u00a0Please be sure to bring your own water and grooming kit etc plus hay in the trailer to any events or rallies. \u00a0Do not share anything horsey unless absolutely necessary.
