EHV Protocols

We have some important information to share with you regarding our EHV protocols to promote safety for all horses. Please note that there are inherent risks when traveling and competing with horses. It is critical to mitigate these risks by following Best Practices.
Our Equine Health Coordinator is available to answer any questions related to our horse health policies at equinehealth@westpalmsevents.com. Our policies are available on our website, www.westpalmsevents.com, under the “Biosecurity and Horse Health” button. You can also click the buttons below to download and print forms. 
You will be required to send in a horse health declaration form and proof of vaccination 48 HOURS PRIOR TO ARRIVAL. In addition, you will be required to present a 7-day temperature log AT THE CHECK-IN GATE before horses can enter the showgrounds. Once horses arrive on-site, you must record temperatures twice daily and post them visibly on each stall.
