Important HISA deadline approaching for tests, vaccines
The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority has reminded all horsemen that Jan. 1, 2023, is the deadline to have all required vaccines and tests recorded on the HISA portal for all covered horses.
On this date, HISA will start enforcing the regulation. As required by HISA Rule 2134, a horse will be prevented from racing if the vaccines and tests are not listed on a horse's health records or not up to date. Along with a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection and a Coggins test, required vaccines are encephalitides, rabies, tetanus, influenza and rhinopneumonitis.
