10.2 Vaccinations – National Competitions
10.2.1 No Horse may take part in a BE National Event (which includes entering competition stables) unless it has a current vaccination against equine influenza which complies with the following conditions:
• Prior to 2024 an initial Primary Course of two vaccinations (V1 and V2) must be given with the second vaccination being administered within 21 - 92 days of the first vaccination.
• The first booster (V3) must be administered within 7 calendar months of the date of the second vaccination (V2) of the primary course.
*New for 2024*
Any horse receiving a new Primary course as of 1st January 2024 must be vaccinated as follows;
• V1 - (initial vaccination)
• V2 - (second vaccination) must be administered 21 - 60 days after V1.
• V3 - (first booster) must be administered within 6 months and 21 days of V2.
• Subsequent booster vaccinations must be given at intervals of not more than 12-months.
• However, in order to compete a horse must be vaccinated in accordance with the above rules and MUST also have had a vaccination within 6 calendar months and 21 days of the competition, BUT;
• A horse may not compete if it has been given a relevant injection on any of the seven days before it is to compete at the event. Thus, a horse vaccinated on Friday 1st, may not compete before Saturday 8th.
*Please note:
• the 12-month period was never extended under BE rules to 15 months during the vaccination shortage period (Oct 2022-Dec 2022) therefore any horse missing their 12-month booster during this period should have restarted their primary course.
• Horses that have received the Primary course prior to 1 January 2005 are not required to fulfil the requirements for the first booster (V3), providing there has not been an interval of more than 12 months between each of their subsequent annual booster vaccinations.
• All proprietary Influenza vaccines are accepted, provided the route of administration complies with the manufacturer’s instructions (ie intramuscular injection or intranasal).

12. Conflict of Interest: Within the equestrian community there may be times when conflicts occur. For guidance, it has been determined that a perceived/potential conflict of interest could arise in the event that an appointed judge has a previous or current connection to a horse entered in the competition. Examples of such connections and interests include, but not limited to, the following. The judge has; bred or previously owned the horse or acted as an agent in its sale; previously competed, trained or kept the horse at livery; previously or currently had a financial or other interest in the horse. In the event that a judge/owner/rider (or
their agent) knows of, or should know of, any potential and/or perceived conflict of interest in a horse entered in the competition they must declare this to the Organiser as soon as it is known. Steps will be taken to manage it as practically as possible. Any potential conflicts will be written and displayed next to the scoreboard. Conflicts at the Final will be avoided and managed by Burghley Horse Trials.
13. It is a condition of entry that all riders, owners, grooms, and their connections/relatives, must conduct themselves and communicate in a respectful manner towards the public, officials, and all other parties present or entered in the competition. Such behaviour includes respect for the Judges and their decisions, which are final. Offensive behaviour, and/or other violations of this condition, may lead to sanctions such as disqualification and future bans.
