I hope they post pone the NBHA show in Gifford. The virus lives for 30 days when it is not exposed to the sun. Plus the virus is obviously in the area. What exposed horses will be coming to the show?

Looks like they have postponed the NBHA Great Lakes show. But there are several other shows going on in the area that I haven't heard if they will be postponing as well or not. I too am in the area but my horses haven't been off the property all year... was hoping to show in two weeks at Flickerwood. Anyone have any idea where all this has spread to or if anywhere is safe?

A big saddlebred/hackney barn south of Des Moines has lost 4. They were at the Springfest show at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. 2 days after that show ended the Mayflower QH show moved in. Not sure if/what sanitary procedures are used when cleaning up from one show to the next over there...

The outbreak stemmend from reiners in Frankfort, IL. One horse was euthanized and the other was treated successfully.
That barn attended a show at Gifford and one at C bar C. C bar C disenfects after every show, but Gifford does not- so not they are closed for 21 days to clean and disenfect the facility. They are rescheduling the NBHA Great Lakes show at Gifford as well as a few others that fall during the "closed" time period.

We've got three separate barns in our area that attended gordyville. They're quarantined for 14 days. This is way too close to home for my liking! I'm not very comforted to know not all of these big venues disinfect after shows!

On a vet site it said it's important to get rid of all material and then most disinfectants will kill it. I read it a few days ago. I'll see if I can find it.

EHV in the Environment ? Viable for about 7 days in normal conditions ? May survive up to 1 month ? Clean equipment before disinfecting ? EHV is sensitive to most disinfectants ? Hand washing/sanitizer

C Bar C posted that in addition to disinfecting the stalls and wash racks, they were also going to do the arena fence, and all walls and walkways as well.
