Conditions of Entry
1. Please ensure you are familiar with the RDA Competition Rules 2022, which can be accessed here: https://www.myrda.org.uk/assets/RDA-Rulebook-2022.pdf.
2. All horses travelling to the Regional Qualifier must have a valid passport from which the horse’s identification will be verified. The passport must contain all vaccination details which must be up to date, completely and clearly recorded, signed and stamped by a veterinary surgeon, who is not the owner of the animal. Passports will be checked on arrival and passports with missing, altered, unclear or incomplete vaccine records will not be accepted and entry to the event may be refused.
The horse must receive a primary course of two injections against equine influenza given no less than 21 days and no more than 92 days apart (only these first two injections need to be given before the horse may compete). In addition, a first booster injection must be given no less than 150 days and no more than 215 days after the second injection of the primary course. Subsequent booster injections must be given at intervals of not more than 365 days apart, commencing after the first booster injection.
Those horses attending the RDA National Championships must have received a subsequent vaccination in the preceding 6 months of the event.
None of these injections can be given within the seven days before either the regional or national competition. Vaccination records will be checked by a vet in attendance.
If your horse has not been vaccinated against equine influenza in accordance with the above requirements, it will not be permitted entry to the event.
Please note, vaccinations need to be up to date for ALL classes, including non-qualifying classes. A representative from our Regional Vet team will be on hand to assist and answer any queries.

The RDA does make certain, specific exceptions to the FEI’s list of controlled and banned substances with respect to the population of horses engaging in RDA activities.
