The Horse Riding Clubs Association of Victoria currently has 183 member Clubs with over 4000 individual members spread across Victoria and parts of NSW. The HRCAV caters for a wide range of riders who enjoy the social aspect of Club membership as well as access to the extensive competition system. There is a Club within reach of most Victorians where you can join like minded riders for social activities, lessons/rallies or competition. The HRCAV caters for beginner riders right through to experienced competitors with a level assessment system that ensures that you will compete against others of similar experience and ability. See our Club links page for information on individual Clubs or click here for a list of Club contacts.

EQUINE INFLUENZA - HRCAV POSITION - as at 27/3/08

With the announcement from QLD that testing shows no indication of any residual Equine Influenza (EI) and the eradication of the disease from NSW, the HRCAV has decided to remove most of the remaining bio security requirements. The EI experience has shown that it is important that horses at events can be traced should a disease outbreak occur and as such, our entry forms will continue to include provision to record ‘tracing information’. A brief disclaimer has been added to the base of the entry form which must be signed by members to acknowledge that they understand that standstills can occur which may leave them and their horse stranded and that they are expected to cover any costs involved. All other bio security requirements previously advised have been rescinded.

The new standard individual and team entry forms will be included in Chaff Chat from April onwards and can be downloaded here.
