Biosecurity Information
Our Region hosts activities at several local facilities. Collectively, we are committed to the health and safety of all of our horses and to educating our riders in Biosecurity Protocols. Proof of vaccination is required for Influenza and Rhinopneumonitis (EHV-1/4) no less than 7 days and no more than 6 months before visiting.
Other details that are specific to each facility are included below.
The Region will collect Coggins tests with club team entries and verify their validity. For horses traveling from out of state, Certificates of Veterinary Inspection/Health Certificates are required by State Law and are location specific. The state considers the document to be valid for 30 days, but facilities may have varying requirements. Please review the requirements below carefully and be sure to plan ahead as needed.
