Dear Mounted Historic Reenacctors:

 

Due to the equine herpes virus which prohibited many equestrian events in the late winter and early spring in our area, the Ft. Pocahontas committee must insist on the following procedures for the cavalry and all units with horses:

 

1)       Updated coggins

2)       List of current vaccines (with dates)

3)       Each horse must have its own water container (or a separate container for each unit). No communal water or food troughs will be made available and it is advised that watering containers should not be shared between units’ horses.

4)       All reenactors who will be riding or bringing horses on site MUST pre-register.  There will be no exceptions and all horses & riders will be turned away who are not registered in advance.

5)       Those cavalry reenactors who are not mounted may register on site.

 

 

The pre-registration procedure is intended to protect the horses and our property – which often has equestrian events.  Thank you for your understanding and compliance. 

 

Please feel free to let other cavalry units know and definitely ask them to let me know if they have any questions.

 

Best regards,

Kay Tyler

Event Administrator
