SHOWS & TRANSPORT
Transport
Some people have their own trailers, but most transport to and from shows is by lorry, unless you live close enough to have the horse ridden to the show venue. The HAK can assist with a contact list of Horse Lorry owners.
If you want to go to an upcountry show or event and you don’t have your own transport for your horse, you will need to book a place on a lorry in good time as available lorries fill up quickly.
Ensure that your horse’s legs are properly protected – locally made foam can be used with bandages – and a tail bandage is also advisable. In cold weather, or for a long journey, a light rug should be put on the horse.
The Show Office
At most shows the Office is opened the afternoon preceding the start of the show.
You will be asked to bring your Rabies certificate for each horse/pony, for every show held during the calendar year, if this has not already been seen or where the vaccination date needs updating in our system. If your horse’s vaccination for Rabies is not up to date, your horse/pony will not be allowed on the premises or to compete in the show.
For all Shows that are held at the Ngong Race Couse each horse/pony must be innoculated with the Equine Flu Vaccination and the record is to be brought to the Vet on duty at the Show Office. The Equine Flu Innoculation must be done 6 monthly, as per the JCK (Jockey Club of Kenya) rules.
