🚨 DON'T GET LEFT BEHIND IN 2026 -FEI RIDERS & OWNERS – QUICK REMINDER!🚨

Is your horse FEI registered?
If YES 👉 please tell us at the time of vaccination 🩺🐎

📱 Equine Influenza vaccinations MUST be recorded in the FEI HorseApp
✔️ In addition to the passport
✔️ By a vet
✔️ On the day of vaccination & in the horse’s presence

⏰ What’s changing?
• January 2026 – Digital registration becomes mandatory
• Jan–June 2026 – Education phase (no fines, just reminders)
• From 1 July 2026 – ❌ No HorseApp record = 💸 fines at FEI events

👉 To keep everything smooth, compliant, and stress-free at competitions, please remind us if your horse is FEI registered when booking or attending vaccinations.

Let’s keep your horse competition-ready and avoid any last-minute surprises! 💙🐎
