Hey all. It’s finally been confirmed that there is a positive EHM horse in South Dakota. That being said we knew it would happen eventually. As I’m sure you’re wondering, we are indeed tightening up our bio security protocols and have been on high alert since we heard about the outbreak.
We would appreciate if you are open and honest if you have any potential exposure in your horses before you come in for an already scheduled appointment or schedule an appointment.
Twice a day temperatures are recommended for any potential exposure and of course quarantining. Please feel free to call with questions about at home protocols and risk factors.
We ask that you not unload your horses upon arrival. Please check in first at the receptionist desk and wait for further instructions.
Now all that being said we realize that life goes on and horses and owners require veterinary assistance whether due to illness, injury or routine medical procedures.
We will be limiting the number of horses in clinic at any single time and request that you not touch other horses in clinic and wash your hands frequently before and after your appointment.
We would appreciate pre departure (from home) temperatures before your appointment.
Picture is not a EHM horse.

EHV-1/EHM

As the situation is on-going, and travel back from the BFA and other events is occurring continued biosecurity is essential to minimize spread. These horses should be isolated for the next 14-21 days.

Quarantine:
All horses returning from events with known EHV-1/EHM cases should follow strict isolation protocol. They should be at least 30 feet away from any other horse (clusters of horses having traveled together may be quarantined in tight knit groups), no nose to nose contact with other horses, no sharing of buckets, tack, pitch forks, halters and lead ropes, etc between quarantined horses and other horses. Change your clothes or wear disposable personal protective equipment (PPE) including shoe covers while handling quarantine horses. Horses should have their temperature checked twice a day (fever if >101.5F; normal if

🚨 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
