Location: Texas! | BR-DVM - 2014-05-02 1:32 PM Health paper forms and coggins forms are no longer free. And although The test cost from the lab are one thing. The time it takes for us to do All the required paperwork and send In the state copies etc. Adds up In not only postage and costs of forms but also are time. As much As I would love to sell my services for what the cost me I can't and Actually make a living. That would be like you going to your job For 40 hrs aweek ( which would be a vacation for most vets) for exactly What it cost you to get there each week. I hate it when you guys thinks We are all out to he rich and cheat you. My soap box for he day. Good day
I wasn't trying to say vets are screwing us and love the free money from coggins just that it's not the government making big bucks off the mandate of coggins and HC. I know to takes time away from them doing their job as well as usually pay to a tech to help drive to the lab etc. |

I have the perfect solution: Equine total body condoms.
So would you buy those in the health aisle or the pet aisle. And would they come in male and female versions???? Hmmmm....  |

Location: Small Town Iowa | I have had a lot of discussion around home with some pretty narrow minded people about this. And they are acting like this is only a barrel horse problem. I have read on the PA case and the Canadian case, and I just want to add that the PA case came from an eventing barn and the Canada case came from a race track. I know that this is more than a "barrel horse problem" I am just so tired of the non-barrel people thinking that they are immune to this. And I think people should quite hauling for 30 days, but as long as shows go on there will be people entering. It's like head lice in kids, if the neighbor kid has lice are you gonna send yours over to play with him? Probably not, so even though these horses look and act fine, doesn't meant that they aren't shedding for the 28 days. Common sense. Sorry but that is my rant for the day. |

Location: South Dakota | In case people did not see it on facebook about the Marcie Locken Memorial barrel race in Rapid City:
!!!!!!!!!!!! With the confirmed EHV case in SD, the Kjerstad Event Center asked that we NOT have the race this weekend to help contain this. We are working on a reschedule date in July and will keep you posted. I will be working on refunding everyone their money. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING! If you have any questions, please let me know.

Location: Riding Crackhead. | Concerning the report in Brown County South Dakota. The first thing I want to say is its not a barrel horse!!! There is a boarding facility on the south side of Aberdeen that takes in horses for training show horses. The 5 yr old mare was brought in to the facility for training purposes. At this point I have no idea where it came from prior to coming to the facility. I've been on the phone most of the day trying to get answers. One person told me that it was the respiratory not neuro but according to the release from the State Vet, and I quote, "mare became ill with neurologic signs, including incoordination and difficulty walking". I will say this, there is a gal that boards and works out of this facility and a lot of her students also board at this facility. These people WERE at the Brookings, SD barrel race. |

Location: North of the 49th Parallel | Has this one been posted yet? Wonder if said horse was at the BRF before hitting the pro rodeos? http://www.prorodeo.com/news-display/2014/05/02/ehv-1-confirmed-in-barrel-horse-that-was-at-the-clovis-calif.-and-springville-calif.-prca-rodeos |

Location: California | No, this horse was not at the BRF.
And the report from the CDFA is kind of confusing because they state "May 1, 2014: No additional cases." but then says "Based on the low viral load and atypical clinical signs, it is possible that EHV-1 is not the cause of disease in this horse. Out of an abundance of caution, the horse has been classified as case of EHM by CDFA and remains isolated under quarantine."
Full report:

I will be thinking of you. That is scary close. I have not been anywhere since fall but I board and there have been so many horses in and out and there is a clinic there this weekend with lots of people from all over. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | It feels like we are being surrounded by this stuff. I just hope this isn't some kind of bad, prolonged outbreak, the likes of which we haven't seen. Last week one from Wisconsin died from this thing. Yesterday came the report from across the border in Canada. Now this.
I have to think that the issue will solve itself when it really warms up. It looks like we will see some 60 degree days next week, but nights still in the 30s and continued rain off and on. What we need is a good week or two of dry sunny 70 degree days. Until then these cases will just keep popping up....hopefully just islolated, and not in clusters. To be honest, I'm not sure which is going to be better here this weekend at the R4R.....tie up outside in windy, cool, damp, rainy weather throughout the day, or keep them dry and warm inside, but in close quarters. Nobody knows. We can only do so much. Poor Verna.....I wouldn't trade places with her for anything. She's going to be worried sick for the next 3 weeks, I bet. The fact is there will always be people who will haul come hell or high water, and there will always be jackpots, shows, and rodeos, unless there is a strict statewide restriction, but even then there will probably be something.
Heck just last week I was riding one of my mares and she seemed sluggish and heavy. I was worried, so I just put her away. She's fine now, but this has been weighing heavy on everyone's mind. Carol is hauling up here from Texas with 4 horses in 3-4 weeks. If anything happens to one of those nice horses I'll never forgive myself. That is another reason why I decided not to go a couple days ago. I would just hate to hear of any of our BBs who breed raise nice horses get a couple with this crap. For example, what if RockinAS got this sh!t in her herd? She wouldn't get a decent night's sleep for a month. Just so much uncertainty with this recent stuff. Even the vets are puzzled. |

What I am not sure about, Val, is whether any of the horses from this facility are still "cooking" the disease and it hasn't manifest itself yet, and if that's the case, could others be exposed because of a horse with the virus who hasn't yet developed symptoms. Do you see what I mean? |
