Due to the current EHV-1 outbreak we will not be accepting any horses at this time. We feel that all of our horses are safe & we want to make sure it stays that way during this time of uncertainty.
Prayers for all involved 🙏🙏🙏
🚨 EHV-1/EHM Cases Reported in Texas
Several recent cases of EHV-1/EHM have been confirmed in Texas following a major event. EHV-1 is a contagious viral disease that can cause respiratory illness, neurologic symptoms (EHM), late-term abortions, and neonatal foal loss.
Watch for signs:
• Fever over 101.5°F
• Coughing or nasal/ocular discharge
• Lethargy, anorexia, limb swelling
• Neurologic signs: ataxia, urine dribbling, loss of tail tone, trouble standing
How it spreads: Respiratory droplets, direct contact with infected horses, or contaminated mucus. Shedding can continue for 14–28 days.
What to do:
• Contact your veterinarian immediately if symptoms appear
• Practice strict biosecurity—disinfect equipment, avoid sharing tack, limit travel for 3–4 weeks
• If exposed at an event, isolate and monitor temperatures daily
