Roberto Cuoghi and the Italian Reining Horse Association have been working tirelessly to monitor the situation with the EHV-1 outbreak and COVID-19 pandemic. The health and well-being of every person and horse is of the utmost priority for the Italian Reining Horse Association, the European Executive Board, and NRHA. Due to this reason, those persons who are not competing, part of a competitor's team, or an owner will not be allowed to attend as the event will be closed to the public.  
 
Roberto Cuoghi has hired a professional cleaning company to come in and sterilize the facility. Every horse entering the facility must have a negative EHV-1 test within 5 days of arrival and every person entering the facility must have a negative COVID-19 test within 3 days of arrival. In addition, if any person or horse in your home facility is positive for either EHV-1 or COVID-19 you will not be allowed to attend.

A team of veterinarians will also be present at the entrance to monitor the health of the horses. See protocol HERE
 
Prior to leaving, please make sure you read the full requirements for coming to the European Futurity.

The protocol can be found here and remains the same with the addition of personnel responsible for sanitizing the wash stalls after each use. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact the organizers. Furthermore, foreign horses will be stabled separately from other horses.

If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to contact show management.

Mr Gary Carpenter, NRHA Commissioner, who has been monitoring the situation from the beginning, concludes: “We cannot thank Mr. Cuoghi and the Italian Reining Horse association enough for managing this event in these unprecedented times, and we look forward to a successful Futurity!”
