IMPORTANT -
Due to an increase in equine flu cases in other parts of the country EGBSW have had to introduce a temporary restriction on which horses can attend our rides. Unfortunately we can only accept entries for horses that have completed a course of vaccinations. This means that they must have received two primary vaccinations which are given not less than 21 days & not more than 92 days apart. There must then be 7 clear days after the second vaccination before you can attend a ride.
If sufficient time has elapsed the horse must then have received a booster vaccination not less than 150 days or not more than 215 days after the second primary vaccination. These are the normal rules for a course of vaccinations.
Please note, we will be accepting horses that have had both of their primary vaccinations but not yet had a booster but sadly we cannot accept horses that have had only their first primary vaccination.
Can all riders who have entered a ride e mail a photo or photocopy of the vaccination record to the ride organiser & it is essential that you take the passport with you to the ride as it will be checked before you are allowed to unload your horses.
Anyone who has entered a ride that can now not attend can get a full refund. Details of how to get a refund are a
available on our ride pages.
We hope this will be just a short term precaution & the rides will soon be back to normal. We recognise this will cause inconvenience but the welfare of all our horses is paramount.

New Rule introduced for 2019: Members must help at at least one EGB SW ride
to be eligible for South West Trophies.
You can help on the day of the ride or to set up venue/route the day before... other help such as bib-washing will also be considered. If you volunteered to help at a ride which has subsequently been cancelled, you will still be credited as a helper as long as you had informed the ride organiser of your offer to help before cancellation. Young riders can appoint a proxy to help on their behalf.
