๐ŸŽIMPORTANT - EQUINE INFLUENZA๐ŸŽ

Cases of Equine Influenza are on the rise across the UK. Some shows hosting SEIB Search for a Star and Racehorse to Riding Horse qualifiers may require six-monthly vaccinations. If you are unsure please contact the show directly.

Please remember to always have your horse's passport present at a show in case the organiser needs to check it.

*UPDATE* from Rutland Show - โ€œAll equines must be fully vaccinated on an annual basis as per our schedule, random passport checks will be made.โ€

More success for the SEIB Insurance Brokers Search for a Star ๐ŸŒŸ team at Royal Windsor Horse Show ๐Ÿ™Œ

We couldnโ€™t be more delighted for series judge, secretary, SEIB ambassador and long-term supporter Hannah Horton and Itโ€™s Lush ๐Ÿ’œ

Congratulations Hannah and Lush ๐Ÿ†

What a photo! An emotional Hannah Horton claimed the working hunter championship at the 2026 Royal Windsor Horse Show astride her own Its Lush.

16-year-old Lush incurred a freak field injury last year and Hannah admits she thought at first that he'd broken his leg.

After a long stint of rehab, Lush made a full recovery and looked fresher than ever as he took a turn about the testing course.

Congratulations to Hannah, Lush and all of their team.
