Events and schedules
We are always pleased for people to come forward and represent the club at area competitions. Horses are required to have an up-to-date flu vaccination certificate — please see the vaccination checker procedure (PDF) and injection date checklist (PDF). If you’d like to have a go or would like to find out more details then please contact the team managers.
This document will give riders an idea about what is involved at BRC competitions regarding heights, tests and horse eligibility.
