📢 Protect your horse, protect the herd.
With Equine Influenza cases currently on the rise across the country, now is the time to act. Vaccination is more than just a requirement for competition—it is the single most effective defence we have for your horse and the wider national population.
Given the high number of outbreaks, BEF strongly recommends moving to a six-monthly booster schedule, especially if you are planning to attend shows or clinics where your horse will mingle with others.
If your annual booster isn’t due yet but it has been more than six months since the last jab, consider bringing it forward now to ensure peak protection during this high-risk period.
Why move to six-monthly boosters?
✅ Higher Antibody Levels: Maintains a stronger internal shield against infection.
✅ Reduced Clinical Signs: If they do catch it, the impact is significantly less severe.
✅ Halt the Spread: Helps break the chain of transmission within the equine community.

If you’re outdoors for long periods on the yard, it’s important to remember to apply suntan lotion regularly.
Even more so if you are teaching or riding in an arena where the surface may exacerbate the effects of the sun. Sunburn is not only uncomfortable, but excessive exposure to heat and the sun can increase the risk of skin cancer and make you more susceptible to other heat related illnesses such as sun stroke. It’s better to stay covered up where possible, and light coloured and lightweight clothing can help reflect the sun and keep you cool.
And don’t forget the horses too! Applying sunscreen to ‘pink bits’ such as noses can help prevent them getting sun burned as well!

Whilst it can be tempting in warm weather🌞 to be on the yard or ride in more summery attire, it`s vitally important to ensure you still wear sensible protective gear such as closed-toed shoes🥾, riding hats and body protectors when in the saddle, and long sleeves 🎒and trousers 👖where possible.
Even being on the yard undertaking basic stable tasks it’s better to be properly protected to avoid any accidents or injuries. Think about wearing light-coloured, loose clothing. It seems basic advice, but the most common summer accidents are caused by inappropriate footwear, or a lack of safety equipment and appropriate clothing whilst riding or handling horses.
Consider having rules in place about this to protect all on your yard.📝
