Notes

EQUINE FLU VACCINATIONS - Due to the recent Equine Flu Outbreak, Floors Castle International Horse Trials have put a vaccination policy in place for all classes and companion horses: In order to be allowed to compete, ALL horses (including companion horses) must have received a primary course of flu vaccinations (a primary course is an initial vaccination followed by a second vaccination after no less than 21 days and no more than 92 days, with the second of these vaccinations having been given no later than 7 days prior to the start of the competition.) Where the second vaccination of the primary course was completed more than 6 months prior to the start of the competition, every horse must have received continuous booster vaccinations, with the FIRST booster vaccine having been given between 150 and 215 days after the second vaccine of the primary course, and EVERY subsequent booster having being given within 1 year of the previous booster (for example a horse vaccinated on 21/2/16 must have received its next booster on or before 21/02/17). Vaccinations given on the day of the event will NOT be considered as forming ANY part of the animal's vaccination history. A significant number of passports will be checked and any horse found without a satisfactory vaccination record will be sent home. Please note that in addition to this, EVERY horse that is to be stabled at Kelso Racecourse must have received a vaccination WITHIN SIX MONTHS of the date they enter the racecourse stables. • The course will only be available to walk on the day of the competition. • Riders of all ages and horses of any height may compete • The competition will run over a course of show jumps followed by a section of natural fences. This may include some solid jumps. The cross country section will be timed. • The winner will be the rider on the fewest faults and closest to the optimum time. • The course will be split into 2 halves, the first will not be timed, and the second will be timed (1 time faults will be given for each commenced second over the optimum time, based on a speed that will be announced on the day of the event). • 4 penalties will be added for each knock-down. • 4 penalties for 1st refusal, 8 penalties for 2nd refusal, 3rd refusal = elimination. Fall of rider = elimination. • Riders must dress in either full Cross Country Colours or Show Jumping attire but body protectors must be worn and hats without fixed peaks. • No stop watches will be permitted.
