There are confirmed cases of EHV-1(Equine Herpes Virus) connected to recent events in Texas and Oklahoma. The AAEP flyer below gives signs to be on the lookout for if you suspect your horse has been exposed to EHV.

What is Equine Herpesvirus (EHV)?

You've probably heard it called Rhinopneumonitis, a respiratory tract disease that results in "snotty noses," but EHV is more than that. Depending on the strain, this virus can also cause abortion in broodmares, and equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy (EHM) — the often-deadly neurologic form of the disease.

Because EHV is endemic in many equine populations, most mature horses have developed some immunity through repeated natural infection. However, they remain a source of infection for other susceptible horses, like weaned foals and yearlings, who usually display symptoms of the respiratory form of the disease in autumn and winter. Performance and show horses are also more vulnerable to the disease, as they commingle with unfamiliar equines in close quarters while under stress from travel and competition.

Proper biosecurity protocols can help reduce EHV outbreaks and other disease transmission. A variety of vaccines are also available for protection against both the respiratory and abortive form of the disease, but there is no equine licensed vaccine at this time that has a label claim for protection against the neurologic form (EHM).

Consult your primary equine veterinarian to learn more about this disease and work with them to determine the optimal vaccine protocol for your horses.

You can learn more about all three forms on the Equine Disease Communication Center's website here: https://equinediseasecc.org/infectious-diseases

This is a a great opportunity for our Tennessee equine businesses. The window for the TAEP application is very short so start looking into the process now.

NASHVILLE – Equine businesses across Tennessee can now apply for support through the Tennessee Department of Agriculture’s premier cost-share initiative, the Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement Program (TAEP). The application period for TAEP is October 1–7, 2025.

For the first time, horses, donkeys, and mules may qualify under the Hay Storage, Livestock Equipment, and Livestock Solutions programs. To be eligible, applicants must operate a commercial equine business involved in breeding, training, and/or boarding, with a minimum of 20 head. Horses, donkeys, and mules may be combined to meet this requirement.

“All Tennessee producers contribute to the strength of our state’s agricultural economy,” Commissioner Charlie Hatcher, D.V.M., said. “By extending TAEP eligibility to equine businesses, we are recognizing their vital role in our communities and making sure they have the resources to grow and remain competitive.”
