My vet advised non-equine events (festivals and private parties and events) are perfectly safe for our ponies and horses so we are still accepting bookings and plan to be present for all of our commitments!
We may not bring horses to the parades as planned, but I may be able to if other equines present have not been in any of the affected areas and are not in proximity to any potentially exposed equines.
Animal Health Alert: Florida is monitoring the confirmed exposure of Equine Herpesvirus Myeloencephalopathy at a WPRA event held Nov. 5-9 in Waco, Texas, and the Barrel Futurities of America event held Nov. 17-18 in Guthrie, Oklahoma.
No cases of EHV-1 associated with this outbreak have been identified in Florida.
