No Smiths for me

[Saf]

Hi

My horse is in the blue zone for F&M so no Smiths for me, I totally understand but was wondering

Can I sue the Pribright lab for entry fees? Just a thought?
The organisers were fantastic said they would love to give us all our entry money back but as the numbers are high and they are also paying for the disinfectant will not be able to help but will write us all a letter incase we can somehow claim?

Good luck to all competing, I'm very jealous

So sad for you but also very sad for all your local farmers. Please God, let it not spread.

Yes its just horrid, the more I think about it the more the whole country should come to a stand still even if just for a week to see what happens, I would hate to see a repeat of 2001

What a bummer, if it's not the weather or an off colour horse it's something else

Fingers crossed this will be a one off and not the scenario for everyone as in 2001...

You could send them a polite (*cough*) letter asking for your entry fees. I'm sorry you couldn't go it's not so bad when the whole event is cancelled but when it's just you (or so it seems) it's hard

Hi Saf...

Where are you? Friends horses are in an exclusion zone too, and they've got cattle on thier yard. :-(

It is horrid, and thankfully for me, the cattle on my yard have been taken some months ago for slaughter so we're not in a mixed yard anymore....

It's a sh*tter, but oh so scary and I don't want a repeat of 2001. Lets hope not.

Oh bummer poor you. Is there a map of the area of the exclusion zone? We're about 15 mins drive away from you but am assuming we're outside the restriction zone. Fingers crossed you're allowed to move soon. Is Merrist Wood affected too then?

This is the link to the map, just zoom in

Yes Merrist have cancelled the pony club camp not sure what else?

Oooh we're just outside all the zones. So...I see the A3 runs through the protection zone. Does that mean that you can't drive your lorry (with horse) along the A3?

I really hope you get your movement restriction lifted soon and that you get your entry fee back.
