BIOSECURITY REQUIREMENTS TO ENTER HITS DEL MAR DRESSAGE

**MUST BE SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY AT LEAST 24 HOURS PRIOR TO ARRIVAL**

HITS Del Mar takes all precautions regarding the health, welfare and safety of all exhibitors, both equine and human. We are counting on everyone's cooperation with the protocols we have put in place to run a safe horse show for all.

THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE MANDATORY.

1) VACCINATION RECORD: Proof of vaccination for both Equine Influenza and Rhinopneumonitis within six months of entering the grounds must be submitted. If submitted on a letter from a veterinarian, it must show the date given as well as the date of vaccine administration. If given by someone other than a vet, proof must be submitted on a USEF vaccination form-available on the USEF website-and must include the type of vaccine, serial number and date given. This can be uploaded at time of entry on equestrian-hub.com OR emailed to DelMarHealth@HITSShows.com.

2) DECLARATION OF HEALTH: The declaration below must be signed to confirm that all horses entering the grounds have been in good health, with no sign of infectious disease and have not had a fever above 101.5 within the past 14 days. Signing this form confirms that the horses listed are not demonstrating any signs of EHV-1, have not had any exposure to EHV-1 in 21 days and are not coming from a property with known EHV-1 positive cases. YOU MAY COMPLETE ELECTRONICALLY BELOW. 

3) COGGINS: Coggins is only required from horses arriving from out of the state of California.

Failure to submit the required documentation will result in horses not being permitted on the showgrounds.

Any questions regarding biosecurity protocols should be submitted to DelMarHealth@HITSShows.com.

NOTE: THIS BIOSECURITY PROTOCOL IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE!

ADDITIONAL BIOSECURITY GUIDELINES

1) USEF now mandates the reporting of a fever in any horse at a USEF competition. If a temperature greater than 101.5° F is detected, it must be reported to the show veterinarian and competition manager, per USEF rule GR873.1.

2) With screwworm recently detected in Mexico, it's vital that we all do our part to ensure it does not spread here in the U.S. To familiarize yourself with screwworm and the clinical signs click here: Screw Worm Information
