Richmond Equestrian Centre have taken the decision to cancel their BD shows on 18 and 12 January as there is currently a confirmed outbreak of Strangles in the Richmond / Catterick Area, where two yards are closed. In addition two other local stables have taken the decisions to close as a precaution but Richmond EC DOESN NOT have strangles.
The organiser is currently in consultation with Animal Health Trust to assess the risk to competitors. They have however taken the decision to cancel the BD competitions taking place on 18 and 28 January as a precautionary measure. They believe this to be a prudent, wise and a responsible decision for the internal stakeholder's at REC, the competitors/connections and the wider industry within the north east. The organiser apologises for any inconvenience caused.
Further in formation will be made available in due course
