Please see this page for all details relating to Equine Influenza Vaccination Requirements for The 2026 Pony Club Regional Championships 28th-31st August.
With the increased number of reported Equine Flu cases across the country, Members are reminded that horses and ponies must be vaccinated in accordance with The Pony Club Equine Influenza Vaccination Policy to attend any Pony Club activities.
The NAF Pony Club Regional Championships:
For The Pony Club Regional Championships at Rectory Farm, it is strongly recommended that horses and ponies should have either received a booster or the primary course V1 and V2, within 6-months and 21 days prior to arrival at the event in line with the FEI protocol.
All vaccinations must be given at least 7 clear days before arrival at the Championships.
What this means in practice:
If your horse or pony is already vaccinated within the 6-month and 21-day window, NO ACTION is required.
If the last vaccination falls outside the 6-month and 21-day window, a booster should be given before attending.
You will not be permitted to stay at the event if:
The vaccination status does not meet The Pony Club’s Vaccination Rule
The V1, V2 and V3 vaccination intervals are not correct for the time period in which they were administered.
The passport and the microchip do not match.
The passport is not available for inspection. Photocopies or screenshots are not accepted. (Replacement Passports are permitted)
The Pony Club Flu Vaccination Advice
* Important: August vaccinations must still be given at least 7 clear days before arrival at any event.
** If your horse or pony was vaccinated in February 2026, it may be too early to meet the 6‑month and 21-day interval. This depends on the exact vaccination date and the date you attend the Championships. If you are unsure, please email [email protected] for advice.
Key Points to Remember:
Vaccination is strongly recommended to be within 6-months and 21-days of attendance date
Must be given at least 7 clear days before attending
If in doubt, book a vaccination now to ensure maximum protection
Please remember that it is a legal requirement for all horses and ponies to travel with their passport.
