Hats

All hats must have a visible aqua BRC/BE/PC hat tag in place before they are worn on the showground to show that they meet the current safety standards. There will be a trained official available on the day to do this for you if your hat does not currently have one. For up to date hat rules please see the current BRC Handbook.

Body Protectors

A body protector is obligatory in all cross-country competitions. Please see the current BRC Handbook for details on up to date standards. http://www.bhs.org.uk/enjoy-riding/british-riding-clubs/brc-rulebook

Riders wearing Exo Body Cage protectors must inform the secretary at all events.

Flu Vaccinations & Microchips

Your horse must have up to date influenza vaccinations in line with rule G7 in the current BRC Handbook. There is also a checking device on the BRC website. If you are unsure, please call BRC on 02476 840518. As of 1 October 2020, it is compulsory for all horses to be microchipped. It is the rider’s responsibility to ensure the horse is chipped and it is traceable.
