EI Interim Document - download

User Instructions - Interim EI Record

For vaccinated horses, this is to be filled out when your horse is vaccinated, for most people in the purple and red zones this will be when the vet administers the second vaccination.

The entire Performance and Pleasure horse industry may use this form to record their horses EI status.

Please print off two forms for each horse.

Retain the original for your own records and send a copy to the horse society of your choice - EFA NSW members should send their copy to the EFA NSW.

EFA NSW will keep the copy and allocate you with an EI document number and corresponding bridle number for EFA registered horses. This is because we anticipate that early competitions will require each horse to have an identified EI status. For unregistered horses who wish to compete in EFA events, the event will be allocated a batch of EI document numbers that can be added to your record at the event and then this number will be lodged with the EFA office.

Please understand that this situation may not remain the same. If EI is found to be endemic or if a National Vaccination Program goes ahead the paper work will change.

There will be no charge for this service at this stage.

This is an INTERIM MEASURE ONLY designed to aid a speedy return to competition opportunities.

For those who have infected properties/horses and have notified the DPI it is important that you obtain some sort of proof that they have identified your property or horse as being EI infected or quarantined. You should obtain from them an ANEMIS number if possible for inclusion on the EI record document. This will help us to determine if your horse has natural immunity, although please note, it still may not be sufficient if blood tests were not taken at the time of quarantine and a further blood test may be required.

Click here for a downloadable copy of EI document – you MUST download and fill in two forms for each horse. Retain one and send the other to your society, i.e. EFA NSW
