Location: Riding Crackhead. | Flymas Girl - 2014-05-02 4:21 PM CYA Ranch - 2014-05-02 3:07 PM I also should add that this horse from my understanding could not have caught it from any horse that had been at Brookings or Lincoln BRF. I will do my darndest to find out more specifics as this is within 15 miles of my place. 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.
The really scary thing is at the BRF there were 2 horses that were nose to nose with my 3 that are now dead. So far so good. Everyone is still healthy as a horse but if I make it through this I'm truly blessed......and I'm going to buy a lottery ticket in which Nateracer thinks she gets a share of the winnings.  |

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.
This is absolutely terrifying for me. We have a horse at that barn with one of the trainers. Will be doing a LOT of praying. Has anyone heard how long ago this horse was brought in? |

Heck yeah! We've been keeping each other sane for more than a month! That has to be worth something!  |

No clue. No horses in or out of there. I'll pray for your horse. IMO that barn is a breeding ground for funkiness. |

I know the Paul Humphrey clinic they were having there was supposed to start today. Did the press release make it out before people started showing up? I would assume they are canceling the clinic. |

From my understanding yes the clinic was canceled. I think Paul got here yesterday. |

That is very scary! I am glad to hear everything is fine so far. I pray for mine everday as I am sure you do as well. |

Location: Wisconsin | From what I am understanding the horses on the east coast have the neurological strain. The horses in the midwest and the Kentucky horse have a non-neorlogical strain. So I ammassuming they are not connected at all and really have no relevence to the midwest. I understand this is serious, but there seems to be A LOT of false information going around. |

The vet reports have said the midwest horses ARE NEUROLOGICAL! There is no false reporting as far as that matter goes and the owner of one of the horses that was lost is on the boards and if you look back enough pages you'll see her posts about it. |

They are testing negative for the KNOWN neurological strain, but are showing neurological symptoms. The vets are calling it a Wild strain. |

Thank you, that is exactly the problem. All people are reading is that they have EHV at this point and assuming it is all the same strain. The midwest horses have a mutated strain of the NON-NEOROLOGICAL form. Where the first two east coast horses were the actual neurological strain. The rodeo horse from California seems to have the mutant strain that the midwest horses do. |

 Best of the Badlands
Location: You never know where I will show up...... | HotbearLVR - 2014-05-02 4:22 PM 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.
This is a huge part of the reason why RockinAS has grounded herself for at least 2 more weeks. Possibly longer if this crap keeps going on. I have stayed home since the BRF in Lincoln. My competition horses are kept seperate from the breeding horses, but I am not taking any chances at all. |

Location: Southern Wisconsin | Just seen a horse tested positive in eastern South Dakota ( brown county) didn't say where the horse may have gotten it. Just says a 5 year old quarter horse mare. She is being treated at a local vet clinic. Can't help but wonder if it's another BRF horse? |

It's not. It's not even a barrel horse from my understanding. |

Common Sense and then some
Location: So. California | Calibarrelrcr - 2014-05-02 2:16 PM 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:
http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/ahfss/animal_health/equine_herpes_virus.html
Was this horse anywhere in the midwest in the last 30 days? The report says they are not sure what the California horse has, but in an abundance of caution have it quarantined.
Many prayers for the horse/owner and that it is not the crud from the midwest...
