EFA NSW

20th November 2007


The EFA NSW has been advised by the CVO of the NSW DPI that vaccinations will only be approved for EFA horses holding perfomance cards in the green and amber zone if those horses are going to compete in the purple zone in the first half of the 2008. Other horses on properties may not be vaccinated at this time.

The DPI is currently working on protocols to enable horses from green and amber zones to compete in the purple zone, the EFA will update this information as soon as it comes to hand.
