What you need to know when planning to attend a DRHC event: At any and all club equine events, the Dog River Horse Club, Inc. requires a negative Coggins report, dated within twelve (12) months of the event, for each participating horse. Upon entry, copies of Coggins will be recorded so that the rider will not need to bring documentation to all future events for the remainder of that year as long as the same horse is used. We thank you for your cooperation.
