Lexington, Ky. – Last spring, California’s show season was cut short due to an outbreak of equine herpes virus (EHV) cases across the state. While it was an inconvenience for some, others suffered the loss of their equine partners. Industry experts have been reviewing the events, revising protocols, and exploring new technologies to learn from this experience and hopefully mitigate future outbreaks.

EHV is endemic in the equine population and outbreaks can occur wherever horses congregate. Adherence to biosecurity principles and monitoring horses for signs of disease are essential to mitigating the spread of all respiratory illness, especially EHV. Please join us on Tuesday, November 15, 2022, at 5 p.m. ET for a webinar to discuss the steps being taken to protect horses. Register here.
