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.  The requirement for the microchip number is new and has been introduced because both The Equine Identification (Wales) Regulations 2019 and the Equine Identification (England) Regulations 2018 require that all horses must have been microchipped by October 2020. 
• all horses/ponies need to be fully flu vaccinated in accordance with BRC Rules.   
• when competing at BRC events the horse must have had a flu vaccination within 6 months and 21 days of the competition as stated in the BRC Members Handbook Competition Rules (section G7).   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 £17 for Dressage, Showjumping and  Arena Eventing to around £48 for the Horse Trials
