I know of several horses that were at Lincoln, then OK, then on to Guymon for the rodeo. I bet one of them isn't planning on staying home anytime soon.
Unfortunate. I really wish they'd just shut everything down! |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | rockinas - 2014-05-02 5:25 PM 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.
I've stayed home since BRF and I'm not leaving any time soon either....pre-entries be ****ed! It rained, I have beautiful green pastures and fresh dug fields to ride through. I'm going to let my horses chill for a while and just ride. I'm also keeping them separate from all others. |

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?
That sucks! Prayers for you and your horse!
Thank you Nateracer! I know Little Brandy's stall is in the opposite wing of the barn from most of the training horses, so fingers crossed. She is without a doubt the best filly we have ever raised, in every way possible, and it would be an absolute killer to have her get sick or God forbid lose her. Mom took a dose of Zylexis down for her tonight. Praying very hard for her and for the sick horse. |

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. Thanks for clarifying.
Its a boarding/training barn and this particular horse was brought in for training. They do training for mostly peanut pushers (that'll get the fight switched to a different subject LOL). I'm trying to find out how long its been there and where it came from prior to coming to the barn. I hate how everyone is being so secretive so far like covering it up will make it go away. I give barrels&babies a huge kudos for coming forward and being informative! Thank you!!  |

Im going to have an anxiety attack. I had my horses at that race. It was supposed to be safe to haul again. If anything happens to either of my girls I will never ever forgive myself. |

LDH I am in the same boat! I first saw the press release and heard what barn it was at while I was still at work, and was sitting in my office shaking and sweating. Not even kidding. Boss offered to buy everyone a round at the end of the day and I gladly accepted! The next couple weeks will be nerve wracking. |

For all of us that weren't in the "hot zone" were told it was safe to go to the BRF too. I've been sticking thermometers up my horses butts twice a day since those gals lost their horses. Yeah - its a crappy deal to say the least. |

Location: Here | Runninonthebuck - 2014-05-02 4:56 PM 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.
You are wrong it mutates from the non-neurological to the neurological Please don't pass false information and so far unless you can post the link there are no east coast horses are there ? |

| A little giggle in the middle of all this seriousness... I shared the link for the SD press release on my Facebook. My (nonhorsey) cousin commented, tongue in cheek, "Sounds like the horses in SD need to start practicing safe sex!"
I'm still giggling. Can you imagine what those outside the horse industry are thinking?! |

If you go back through this thread, there was a link posted referencing cases in PA & VA. It doesn't sound like they are related to the Midwest outbreak though from what I understand. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong! |

The virus is easily spread by airborne transmission, horse-to-horse contact and by contact with nasal secretions on equipment, tack, feed and other surfaces. Caregivers can spread the virus to other horses if their hands, clothing, shoes or vehicles are contaminated.
Symptoms of the disease may include a fever, nasal discharge, wobbly gait, hind-end weakness and dribbling of urine. The neurological form, including wild strains, of the disease is often fatal.

Unfortunately they dont know enoughabout this crap. I can tell you what I know...This VIRUS does not have a calendar! So when peeps say if last person was diagnosed on May 1..then we should be able to get back on the road May 15th! not 14th or 16th. Im just baffled. Prayers to those people who have lost their partners |
