Shires Medical Card Armband

Product Information

No horse may compete (which includes entering the competition stables at an event) unless it has a current vaccination against equine influenza which complies with the conditions set out in rule 10.2 of the 2015 BE Members Handbook. Boosters should be administered no more than six months apart, according to calendar months rather than a fixed number of days. For example, a pony that is fully vaccinated on 01 January will require a booster on or before 01 July. Let your arm relax and measure (you may need help to do this) around your bicep, you should select the size that is just smaller than your measurement to ensure a snug fit, the elastic will the expand with your arm movement. To be clear: all horses must have a compliant vaccination record by 15 January 2023 (i.e.) all horses must have been administered a booster within six months of 15 January 2023. The new insert will clearly display these crucial details on the front of the card allowing medical professionals to access the information with ease in the case of an accident.
