The short answer to protecting your horse in the current EHM outbreak: ZERO exposure to outside horses. That’s still the only 100% effective protection.
Key facts:
• There is NO vaccine that fully prevents the neurologic form of EHV-1 (EHM).
• Regular rhino/flu vaccines help reduce shedding and severity of the respiratory strains, but they do not stop this neurologic mutant.
• Pneumabort-K is still a great tool, especially if herpes is your only worry (and very useful in pregnant mares).

Treatment = supportive care only. No magic antiviral bullet exists for EHM once it’s in the brain/spinal cord. Outcome depends on the individual horse’s immune response.

Husbandry is everything right now:
• Avoid ALL off-property contact if possible
• If you must be around other horses → minimize time & maximize space
• Take temperatures twice daily – anything over 101.5°F = call your vet immediately and isolate

I’ve been blown away by my clients who have voluntarily spoken up about possible exposures from:
• Levelland barrel race
• Vernon College
• Ride-shares with horses that tied to the WPRA Finals

THIS is how we stop it – by being brutally honest and responsible. This is stewardship.
We all remember the Ogden, Utah outbreak in 2011 that shut the entire western U.S. down for a summer. We’ve learned a ton since then, but the virus hasn’t. It still only takes one sniff at a trailer or one shared water bucket.

So let’s do this together: Keep your horses home, keep your thermometers busy, and keep talking openly if you think you might have been exposed.

This is the best flooring we have ever used. Even after hundreds of shod horses, soap, alcohol, and manure across the floor and it remains safe and easily maintained.
