Competition yard handover template

A practical handover for eventing, dressage, showjumping, polo and endurance teams at home and away.

Keep home and away responsibilities clear

Write down which horses and people are travelling and who remains responsible for the home yard. Name one owner for each outstanding task, with a due time and a way to confirm completion.

Check the event’s requirements

Use the current organiser and governing-body requirements for entries, horse identification, welfare, transport and competition paperwork. This template is an operational note, not a substitute for those requirements.
