What do you mean by vacc late and restarting them?

when you first start your vacs. you have one and then 6 weeks and then another one. i think its 6 weeks? then a yearly booster. if you miss your yearly booster you have to start again or horse wont be protected. i think there is a lee way of one week but thats bout it.
 
Riding Clubs run to Jockey Club rules, so if your yearly boosters are more than 365 days apart (which with leap years/going by calendar dates they can be), you need to restart the entire course to be allowed to compete under RC rules at area trials etc. You are talking about the difference between a £30 booster and over £100 to redo the entire course.
 
If it's only out by a bit. it's not so much that the horse won't be protected, than that you won't be able to compete under certain rules (e.e. RC teams etc...)
 
I had my horse done with its first injection and then 2nd one on the 18th April 2008. It is then he needs one six months after that or yearly. If its 6 months then we are over ... bugger and will have to start again. If its yearly then we're ok till April 2009.

First one, then second four weeks later then 3rd 6 weeks later - then a yearly booster for Flu/tet.

no, that's not right at all.

it's first one, then you leave 21-92 days (so basically between 3wks and 3mths) then a 2nd one then 150-215 days (so 5-7months) then a 3rd one then it's yearly boosters.
 
star is right if you compete you will have to start the course again, once you have started you can compete as long as you don't miss the next ones.
 
Generally this will affect you if you want to compete at Riding Club Area Qualifiers, not sure about Pony Club current rules as we haven't done PC teams for a while and we only ever had to provide proof of vaccination when Pony Club Camp was held on a racecourse. British Riding Clubs' rules require that the horse is vaccinated for equine influenza in accordance with Jockey Club rules, as outlined in Star's post, with boosters at intervals of not less than 365 days. There is ZERO tolerance and even one day out means the horse cannot compete at Area events unless the course is restarted and at least the first two (21-92 days apart) have been done at least 7 clear days before the competition.

BRC Competitions that are NOT Area qualifiers (or Championships), eg local club events, do not normally apply this rigid rule.
