2. Please do not embarrass organisers by bringing an equine to the event without an up-to-date passport, you WILL NOT be allowed to compete.
3. If your horse has shown any of the signs listed below before the event, please do not bring them to the event.

It is YOUR choice whether you want to compete, please be extremely aware & conscientious about animal contact and sharing equipment.
