Announcement with regards to the EHV-1 outbreak
We are currently in full consultation with both British Showjumping & British Dressage with regarding to the forthcoming Blue Chip Winter Show Jumping Championships 3 7 April and the NAF Five Star Winter Dressage Championships 10 14 April held at Hartpury College and will be following their policy regarding EHV-1 and the advice given by their vets. The Governing Bodies are in on- going consultation with their senior vets and in daily contact with the vets treating the outbreaks.
The outbreak at Badminton is approximately 35 miles from Hartpury College. The case at the dressage yard 2 weeks ago, which is also approximately 35 miles from Hartpury College, we understand has been contained. There have been no cases of EHV-1 at Hartpury College and we have no evidence that any horse has visited at Hartpury whilst suffering from EHV-1.
As with all competitors the health and wellbeing of horses has to be the first decision and we will follow the policy set down by the Governing Bodies and their vets. Once the vets have decided if any precautions and / or Bio Security should be implemented at the Championships then a further announcement will be able to be made.
Any consideration to amend the refund or cancellation policy as stated in the General Rules and Regulations for the Championships will be made subject to the final information and guidelines provided by the Governing Bodies and their Vets.
This is an on-going process and we will be able to make a further statement as further information becomes available.
