Our friends at Boehringer Ingelheim dropped off these frequently asked questions and answers about Equine Herpes Myeloencephalopathy(EHM) which may help you understand more about this disease.

Copied are good guidelines for biosecurity measures we all can practice. As one big horse community we should pull together to get through this recent equine health challenge. Good biosecurity practice and maintaining our horses in excellent health is pretty much all us horse lovers, owners, trainers and barn owners can do for our equine partners and our fellow horsemen and women. Some events and shows will cancel, some will remain open. Many of us will keep our horses home... some will continue to travel. We are relying on recommendations by our State veterinarian's protocol for guidance as the next month unfolds. We will continue to post information to help in your decision making. Whatever you decide to do monitor and be safe!
