Update regarding current transport recommendations and restrictions as relates to the ongoing EHV-1/EHM Outbreak:
As of 11/21/25 there are currently 16 confirmed EHV cases associated with the Waco, TX event in early November. There are confirmed cases in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Colorado and New Mexico at this point.
Given the current situation and growing number of cases, travel requirements have been updated in nearly every state and the Oregon Department of Agriculture has released new rules for Oregon equine events to mitigate EHV risk.
As of now, all EECVI’s (6 month health certificates) have been temporarily suspended. Currently, CVI’s (30 day health certificates) ARE still accepted, but there are additional restrictions in place for many states. If you have upcoming travel planned for your horse, please confirm with the state you plan to travel to what their updated requirements are, and plan to schedule an appointment for us to perform an updated health certificate exam within 5 days of travel (in most cases). As this is an evolving situation, we will continue to provide relevant updates and recommendations.
As a courtesy, for any of our clients that were planning to travel with a current 6 month health certificate from us, we will be offering a discounted 30 day health certificate fee.
As always, please feel free to reach out to us with any questions you may have.
