⚠️🐴 EHV OUTBREAK: What Every Horse Owner Needs to Know
If you haven't heard, a WPRA event in Waco, Texas has been identified as the source of a growing EHV-1 outbreak — including several neurological cases (EHM). Horses from across the region attended, and since then, multiple barns have reported positives.
This article breaks down:
• how the virus spread
• what symptoms to watch for
• why some horses show no signs at all
• the risks of neurological involvement
• what veterinarians and the Texas Animal Health Commission are doing now
• what YOU can do to protect your barn
Even if your horse wasn’t at this event, this outbreak is a wake-up call. High-traffic shows, shared arenas, and travel stress make EHV a threat that can spread quickly and silently.
