Day 2 of midnight hot mash + extra hay.
Freezing? Yes.
Worth it? Absolutely.

Only a few nights a year I’m out here playing midnight snack fairy, and I complain every time, but hearing everyone quietly munching away, warm, content, and full-bellied makes it 100% worth it. 💙🐴🌙

What is Equine Herpesvirus (EHV)?

You've probably heard it called Rhinopneumonitis, a respiratory tract disease that results in "snotty noses," but EHV is more than that. Depending on the strain, this virus can also cause abortion in broodmares, and equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy (EHM) — the often-deadly neurologic form of the disease.

Because EHV is endemic in many equine populations, most mature horses have developed some immunity through repeated natural infection. However, they remain a source of infection for other susceptible horses, like weaned foals and yearlings, who usually display symptoms of the respiratory form of the disease in autumn and winter. Performance and show horses are also more vulnerable to the disease, as they commingle with unfamiliar equines in close quarters while under stress from travel and competition.

Proper biosecurity protocols can help reduce EHV outbreaks and other disease transmission. A variety of vaccines are also available for protection against both the respiratory and abortive form of the disease, but there is no equine licensed vaccine at this time that has a label claim for protection against the neurologic form (EHM).

Consult your primary equine veterinarian to learn more about this disease and work with them to determine the optimal vaccine protocol for your horses.

You can learn more about all three forms on the Equine Disease Communication Center's website here: https://equinediseasecc.org/infectious-diseases

Bio-Security Update for All Boarders & Lesson Students

There was an EHV-1 outbreak at a major barrel race in Texas last month. A Paint show used the same facility right after, and now multiple AQHA World horses could have been exposed. Many of those horses traveled from out of state, including Florida.
There are currently no confirmed cases in Florida, but it is very likely we will see some soon.

Effective immediately:
• No horses may leave the property and return
• No new horses may come onto the property
• Wash hands often and limit horse-to-horse contact
• Avoid visiting other farms. If you do, disinfect shoes, wash hands, and change clothes before coming here

This is not to cause panic—just to protect our herd.

Vaccines:
Please check that your horse is UTD on vaccines.
If it has been more than 6 months since their last EHV/Rhino booster, please revaccinate. The vaccine won’t prevent infection but will reduce severity and help limit spread.

About EHV-1:
EHV-1 spreads easily through direct contact, shared equipment, contaminated hands/clothing, and even droplets in barns or show environments.
It causes fever, respiratory signs, lethargy, and in some cases neurologic disease (EHM).
The neurologic form has already killed over 30 horses in this outbreak, which is why we are taking this very seriously.

Thank you for helping protect our horses and our barn community.
