ATTENTION:
To all my horse friends, roping buddies, barrel racers, breakaway ropers, and clients.
This neurologic rhino outbreak is serious. Stay home till things are under control. There is now a 3rd property involved. There is a mix of western performance and english horses there. All horses and disciplines are at risk. There may not be a worse way for a horse to die than neurologic rhino.
Be safe, they can't get it if they aren't exposed.
PS To equine professionals that move between different barns. You can potentially spread this disease. You should be cleaning up and changing clothes between barns for a while. Thank you, Dr. Bob Peters
PLEASE NOTE! Just to be absolutely clear. I did not post that there is a 3rd property with a confirmed positive. I said "involved" as in under suspicion, tests taken.
But, It's not a terrible idea to assume you need to be abundantly cautious about any travel and or exposure.
