2 CALIFORNIA EQUINE ALERTS FOR Y'ALL:

June 29, 2026: Six (6) Quarter Horses in Santa Clara County were confirmed positive for Equine infectious Anemia (EIA). A confirmed EIA positive equid must be euthanized or quarantined for life 200 yards away from any EIA negative equid as per USDA EIA program rules. Euthanasia was elected for these cases and was witnessed by CDFA veterinarians on June 26, 2026. Fifty (50) potentially exposed horses on the home premises have initially tested negative for EIA and will remain under quarantine until their sixty (60) day retest as per CDFA and USDA program requirements. CDFA has been on site with continued monitoring of the situation. Epidemiological tracing is ongoing, but these cases are linked to recent EIA cases in California

June 17, 2024: A 20-year-old Draft cross gelding and one additional gelding from eastern El Dorado County displaying neurologic signs were confirmed positive for Equine Herpesvirus Myeloencephalopathy (EHM) secondary to Equine Herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) on June 14th. The geldings remain under close veterinary observation and ongoing care. Four (4) additional horses on the premises were euthanized within the last week due to unresolving neurologic signs leading to declining clinical status, but were not tested for EHV-1. Twenty-eight (28) exposed horses at the home premises were quarantined on June 10th with enhanced biosecurity measures implemented. There has been no recent history of travel on or off these premises. CDFA was onsite, and will continue to actively monitor the situation.

We are so excited to offer rehab with AT FARM Veterinary Services! We’ve taken in some special cases together over the last few years and have finally decided to make it official.

Note: This is not just for horses that have been injured! If you have a horse that has been struggling with chronic pain anywhere in their body or just not performing as well as they should be able, this is an amazing opportunity for daily, focused work to get their bodies working to the top of their ability! Fitness, nutrition, suppleness and flexibility, and mental and emotional health are all taken into account!
