Important information for team members
Please note that:

• for all Area competitions we need details of your horse such as its name on the passport, the passport number and the horse's microchip number so it would be useful if you could fill in the Data Entry Form  and email it to the training coordinator.   
• all horses/ponies need to be fully flu vaccinated in accordance with BRC Rules.   The required annual booster injections should be at intervals of not more than a year apart and no injection to have been given in the 6 days prior to the competition.    Please ask if you are in any doubt.
• ​Hats and Body Protectors, if required, must comply with BRC standards.  These can be seen by clicking on the links.
• Whips for all jumping qualifiers must comply with the BRC Members Handbook Competition Rules  (Appendix A4 Dress Code).
• Further details are in the BRC Handbook, and any subsequent amendments, which can be downloaded from the BRC website 
• Pre-entry fees are currently paid by the Club but all other entry fees for each qualifying competition will need to be covered by the competitor.
  These entry fees range from around £25 for Dressage and Show jumping, £35 for Combined Training and Arena Eventing and approximately £80 for the Horse Trials. This includes a contribution to the Pre -entry fees to BRC which the club subsidises when possible.
