Equine Influenza

Equine Influenza (EI) vaccination is a compulsory requirement for all horses attending the Totnes and District Show. The requirement for the first
3 vaccinations are as follows: The first 2 vaccinations 21 – 92 days apart (but ideally between 4-6 weeks apart), a 3rd booster within 7 months of the 2nd. 
Annual boosters must be given within 365 days thereafter, but six monthly boosters are recommended. No horse should enter a competition within
7 days of an EI vaccine. Foals should start vaccination from 5 months of age. Vaccination against tetanus is strongly recommended for all equines.

No horse should enter the show ground if showing any signs of infection or disease. We ask all owners to adhere to strict biosecurity protocols at all times:
horses will be infectious with certain diseases before they show symptoms.
