Stallion registration rules amended
British Showjumping amends rules

Owners of stallions will now have a year to get their animals graded, following an amendment to stallion registration rules by British Showjumping (BS). Stallions can be registered in their initial year at the same cost as a mare or gelding (£73 - £161).

However, if they are not graded within a year, owners will have to pay an annual surcharge of £500 for stallions of 4 or 5 years old, or £1000 for those of 6 years or older when reregistering.

Previously, stallion owners were required to pay a surcharge from initial registration, but this has been altered "to allow stallions to gain experience in a controlled competition environment before grading," according to a BS spokesperson.

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
