Eventing’s world number one and two are on the move in early 2023 – Tim and Jonelle Price are relocating to a new yard to Dorset. The New Zealanders are moving from their current base at Mere Farm, Wiltshire, into a new yard on the Chedington Estate, owned by Dr Geoffrey Guy, where they will be based alongside Australian eventer-turned-showjumper Chris Burton.
The equine flu vaccination shortage in the UK is thought to have been resolved – just as recent outbreaks show the need for disease control measures. There were fears of a shortage this summer, owing to issues experienced by a supplier. But the British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) told H&H it is expected that the vaccination that was temporarily unavailable will become available next week, and there should already be enough here as alternative vaccines have been imported from the US.
A number of cases of equine flu have been reported, some linked to a Shetland pony sale in Worcestershire (16-18 October) and others in horses recently imported from Ireland. The latter include “multiple cases” reported on Friday (4 November).
