.Equine Influenza
In normal circumstances there are no checks required connected with vaccinations when anyone attends an ODRC event.

These are temporary measures until such time the situation with the Equine Influenza has passed.
If the situation has not changed you will be required to bring your horse's passport/vaccination record in order that your vaccination record be checked. Notification will be sent to members via email and for all via this website and the ODRC Group FB Page if the rules change.
