⚠️ EHV-1 Awareness for Woodside Clients

You may be seeing reports of recent EHV-1 cases linked to horses returning from an event in Texas. While Texas feels far away, EHV-1 spreads primarily through TRAVEL, which is why awareness is important—even here in Virginia.

We are not seeing cases locally, but this is a good reminder to stay proactive and keep good bio security in mind

What can you do?

1. Isolate Recently Traveled Horses

If your horse has:
Been to a show, clinic, or event
Traveled out of state
Been around horses that traveled
Please keep them separate from the main barn for 14 days.

No shared water, equipment, or turnout.

2. Take Temperatures Twice Daily

Fever (101.5°F+) is usually the first sign.
Call your vet if you see any fever or changes in behavior

3. Watch for Early Symptoms

Contact your veterinarian immediately for:
Fever
Hind-end weakness or incoordination
Decreased appetite or lethargy
Difficulty urinating or odd stance

4. Strengthen Biosecurity

Avoid sharing buckets or grooming tools, disinfect equipment, and keep new/traveled horses monitored separately.

Woodside is monitoring the situation closely and will update clients as new information comes out. If your horse has recently traveled or been exposed to traveling horses, please reach out—we’re here to help guide you on monitoring and isolation.

You can also follow the Equine Disease Communication Center for updates on known cases.
