⚠️ UPDATE: EQUINE FLU ⚠️

Following a meeting between several equestrian bodies we would like to remind members of the current situation regarding Equine Influenza in the UK.
 
Vets are reporting a higher than usual number of cases and so there is an increased risk for both vaccinated and unvaccinated horses. We will continue to communicate with clubs about new outbreaks, but members and grooms should remain vigilant, stay aware of the symptoms, keep checking temperatures, and ensure that vaccinations are up to date.

We have asked clubs to increase passport and vaccination checks, and the HPA will also be carrying out spot checks around the country. Any horse not meeting the HPA’s vaccination requirements will not be permitted to play and must leave the ground immediately.

Warning signs of equine flu include:
❌ An increased temperature
❌ Frequent dry, harsh cough
❌ Nasal discharge, which may start clear and become yellow or green
❌ Loss of appetite or difficulty eating
❌ Lethargy
❌ Swollen or painful glands around the jaw

You can also stay informed about new cases via the Equine Infectious Disease Surveillance (EIDS) website.

🌞 Temperatures are rising across the UK this weekend, with forecasts into the 30s - so be on the alert for heatstroke in horses, hounds, and humans at polo and keep the HPA’s rules and guidance in mind:

📘 Read the Extreme Heat Guidance available in the HPA Welfare Booklet, available online and in print
🐎 Try to travel and play early or late to avoid the hottest part of the day
🚛 Do not travel in temperatures over 30°C unless the vehicle is temperature-controlled
🪟 Open all windows and reduce the number of horses travelling together for increased airflow
🪣 Carry extra water on board in case of a breakdown or traffic emergency
🧽 Use aggressive cooling measures on horses after play and monitor carefully
🫗 Make sure fresh water is available at all times
🌳 Keep horses in the shade as much as possible
🐶 Do not leave dogs in cars or horseboxes
🧴 Apply suncream to sensitive areas
🧃 Remember to hydrate people too!

⚠️ If the temperature is 28°C or above, or there is an amber  weather warning in place, free changes are to be given during play.
