As we continue to monitor the current outbreak of the neurologic form of equine herpesvirus (EHM) infection, let's take this opportunity to discuss once more the importance of biosecurity measures to stop disease spread. We recommend the following biosecurity precautions for horse owners, particularly if their horses have recently traveled to horse shows or were exposed to horses that have traveled:

1) Monitor horses for clinical signs (including fever, discharge from the nostrils, toe-dragging or a lack of balance) and take the temperature twice daily. Temperature greater than 101.5 F is considered a fever.

2) Immediately isolate any horse(s) showing clinical signs. Equine herpesvirus is an aerosolized virus and is spread through shared airspace, direct contact, and contaminated caretakers or equipment. A good isolation area is a separate barn or shelter that does not share airspace with healthy horses.

3) Implement movement restrictions until the situation is evaluated.

4) Contact your veterinarian to evaluate your horse and to propose a comprehensive biosecurity protocol.

5) Increase biosecurity measures that include extensive cleaning and disinfection of surfaces and equipment that come in contact with affected horses: wash or sanitize your hands between interacting with horses; take time while filling water buckets and feed tubs, do not cross contaminate; minimize the use of shared equipment and tack.

6) Make sure your horse is up to date on vaccinations.

7) Establish communication with all parties involved (owners, boarders, trainers, etc.).

More resources and information regarding biosecurity are available on the Equine Disease Communication Center's website at https://equinediseasecc.org/biosecurity

EHV-1 Update!

The safety and well-being of the horses in our care—and of our entire community—will always be our highest priority. With the ongoing concerns surrounding recent EHV-1 cases, we are taking proactive steps to protect every horse on our property.

Out of an abundance of caution, we will not be accepting any outside horses at this time and for the foreseeable future. We are also pausing all travel to outside locations. While these decisions are difficult, they are necessary to ensure the health and safety of our rescue horses, boarders, and staff.

During this pause, we hope you can find comfort in the quiet moments with your horses—grooming, walking, or simply being present.

Thank you for your understanding, caution, and continued support. Your partnership helps us keep every horse safe.

✨🐴 Happy Adoption Day, Hansel (aka Hanzy)✨
Our sweet senior gentleman has officially found his forever home — and he’s already winning hearts. Hansel is off to enjoy retirement with his new best buddy, Rocky, by his side.

Hansel has touched countless hearts over the years and taught so many kids how to ride, trust, and fall in love with horses. He’s been a patient teacher, a gentle soul, and a true partner — and now he deserves the softest, happiest retirement we could dream up for him.

From quiet grooming sessions to sunshine naps in the pasture, we know Hansel and Rocky are going to make the perfect pair. Thank you to Kathy for giving him the loving home he’s earned ten times over.

Cheers to lots of nickers, new adventures, and the sweetest golden years. Welcome home, Hansel. 💛🏡

We loved seeing their curiosity, teamwork, and big smiles around the barn. Thank you, Girl Scouts, for bringing your energy and compassion to the Rescue!
