Member Posts: 27	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?

Married to a Louie Lover Posts: 3303	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...

Hungarian Midget Woman Location: Midwest	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.

C bar c uses symbiot ag, or something like that. They spray all the stalls and wash racks. You can also use 70% bleach, though I'm it sure if that kills ehv1. Another option is novalsyn

Crazy Doggy Mommy Posts: 1419 Location: Where Governor's make the liscense plates	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!

Member Posts: 27	So I just read up on Stall Safe http://absorbine.com/our-story/news-press-releases/new-from-absorbi... It says it does cover the Bovine version but doesn't say it actually kills Equine Rhino...

I Prefer to Live in Fantasy Land Posts: 64864 Location: In the Hills of Texas	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.

I Prefer to Live in Fantasy Land Posts: 64864 Location: In the Hills of Texas	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
