Location: Midwest | SG. - 2014-04-10 10:08 AM Just Bring It - 2014-04-10 9:57 AM I am not hauling and I am in ND. But I am on the SE side. Most everyone I know on the eastern side of the state is not hauling. I do know a few people still hauling to open ridings but otherwise most everyone is keeping put and all barrel races and clinics have been cancelled or postponed. There have been a few cases found in other states that are quite a ways away from MN so it is too early to say it is an isolated incident. I heard yesterday of a case now in SD. I have not heard much more than that...I don't even know where at and if it is a barrel horse or where it has been.
I wonder if it came from the guy hauling out of a hotzone in MN to SD... What a not smart thing to do
I thought I read on one of the updates that the Iowa horse was stabled in MN and diagnosed after moving to a boarding stable in IA, so it was likely exposed while still in MN |

There was a case in CO as well and I'm not sure how that ties in with the MN cases. I haven't heard if they have that tracked down yet or not. |

The Iowa case traveled to MN and back in the same weekend (same day I believe) and returned to the stable it had been boarded at. No horses have left since it's return and no other cases have been found in Iowa.
Because of the nature of EHV and the fact that carriers can start to shed again at any point in their life it's quite possible that not all of the cases have a common thread. Sure some of the MN cases are related certainly, but it's entirely possible that the horses who had not traveled are victims of coincednece. There's an ehv outbreak somewhere every spring, just like there's a flu season every year.
People stressing terribly about it had better be careful, the chicken pox virus they likely carry might flair up and give them shingles...I hear that isn't pleasant.
I'm not trying to downplay it, but some people are acting like this is something the equine community has never experienced before. |

 There are no Rumors. There was a guy that hauled out of MN in a hot zone to SD to a barrel race.
So how is that a RUMOR??? I am confused |

GREAT to hear! I read an article yesterday that said there was a case. So glad to hear that is not the case. That freaked me out more than the MN cases since I live closer to SD and travel that way a lot and was super bummed that it had spread over to this area. I just want this to pass so we can go on with our barrel racing lives. :) |

Article seems to be a misquote. Glad we can clear that up and move on. |

| Here is the press release directly from the SD Animal Industry Board website. I believe the news article misinterpreted/misquoted the press release, and caused a lot of worry as a result. I'm in NE SD, and my vet hasn't heard anything about a case being confirmed in SD.

Respiratory, yes. Nuerological, doubt it. All these confirmed cases are nuero. |

Think of the horses that go down or die in pastures. Not everyone uses vets or even want to pay for the testing... lots of people just put a horse down without testing it. Especially "backyard" type horses. Those types often also get hauled around for jackpots, trail rides, etc etc....
This disease shows up every year. In fact, one of the horses in my area that came up positive last year was this type of horse. I am pretty sure the only reason it was ever confirmed was because it was boarded... it was not vaccinated and had been to our local jackpots. No other horses got it.
Basically he's saying that everyone has a chance of getting this every year..
Is this "neuro" strain similar to the mutation of HSV in humans that is thought to be linked to Bell's palsy? |

Didn't say your post was a rumor, I can just see people taking that info and running with it. How many trailers do you think crossed the MN/SD boarder last weekend? Not just one. . . Don't think its fair to speculate about one person. He doesn't live in the hot zone anyway.
Like it was posted already, there isn't a case in SD. It was misinformation.

I talked to a friend in SD and he said Keloland reported the State Vet said it was in SD. However my friend contacted the state vet and he said it was a misquote. The correct quote was something along the lines of EHV historically being found in SD.

| Remembering a few years ago at a similar time of year -- is there any relationship with the end of winter weather that triggers the onset?
I remember that there were several no-shows at Ft. Smith that year, which is just around the corner. |

People beginning to haul and most events especially up here this time of year are indoors with close quarters. But I know this time of year my horses go through a blah phase. It must have something to do with the change of weather. It can be really hard on them....below 0 one day then 40 the next and down to below freezing at night again then up to 60. It really messes with them. Then add in the stress of starting to get out and ridden again after time off. It can all take its toll. I'm not saying that is why this seems to pop up this time of year but it could definitely have something to do with it. |

Location: North Dakota | I also read that the virus likes the wet and cold conditions such as springs like this one. Hopefully with the warmer weather arriving it will start to settle down. |

I guess there was an MRA in SD a couple weeks ago and then I know a few SD runners were at that run at Arrowhead. I wish more info would come out about it. But maybe it isn't confirmed yet so they are waiting.
There have not been any runs at Arrowhead this year? |
