TQ17 Biosecurity Statement from AERA – 28th November
TQ17 – Wirrina South Australia – partial bio security plan.
Brief Statement from the AERA.
The following motion put to AERA by SAERA was recently adopted by the
AERA.
SAERA proposes that all horses attending TQ17, whose property of origin lies
within a known Hendra risk area as identified in the AERA Bio security
document, present at the event with a current Hendra vaccination certificate,
in addition to any other bio security measures which will form part of the TQ17
biosecurity document.
It should be noted until this motion was secured no off event hospital
treatment was available for ANY horse attending TQ17 regardless of its
property of origin. This is not a risk the SAERA was prepared to take. Further,
extensive reporting records that of 232 starters at this year’s TQ16 in Victoria,
7 horses only from the AERA identified risk areas presented at the event
unvaccinated.
SAERA and TQ17 would have liked the opportunity to present the complete
event biosecurity plan to riders nationally however the plan could not be
finalised until the outcome of the motion put to AERA on 19 November was
known. The full event biosecurity document will be released in due course.
In the interests of full disclosure and enabling planning of vaccination around
the upcoming season break AERA has decided to advise the Hendra
vaccination status of TQ17 immediately. TO BE CLEAR, HORSES
PRESENTING TO TQ17 WHOSE PROPERTY OF ORIGIN IS IN THE
FOLLOWING LIST must be vaccinated to attend the event.
Further AERA reserves the right to revisit the list below should the Hendra
situation change in coming months.
