Members & OTHER Horse Owners in the Purple Zone are urged to take advantage of this opportunity provided to us, it is important that sufficient horses attend & this program of eradication is supported so that our Shows can return to normal. Bookings essential.
Horse Registration Papers must be produced to verify each horse.
The Council has arranged for DPI Clinics to be held for these horses at:

It is realised that there is not much notice but we only prolong the risk of infection if vaccinations are left to until after the holidays.
Horses are not allowed from recent IP's (properties that have had EI for 14 days or less)
Some surveillance testing may be carried out at these "drive thru" clinics
RECOVERED HORSES:
It is realised that there is not much notice but we only prolong the risk of infection if vaccinations are left to until after the holidays.
Surveillance testing will incorporate both sorts of tests - serology (blood), and PCR (nasal swabs) - the necessary test for proof of immunity is the serology test, this test also distinguishes naturally infected horses from vaccinated ones.
DPI would rather vaccinate the horse - if there is any doubt as to its status (recovered or "clean") - than not!
Provided it is disclosed on the day that the horse is a recovered horse, the DPI will carry out Serology Testing on these horses at their cost under the surveillance testing program. However if it is later found this fact was not disclosed by the owner, knowing that it was a recovered horse, the cost of this serology testing will be laid back against the owner.
