***UPDATE***

As of 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 19, there are multiple confirmed cases of Equine Herpes Myleoencephalopathy, the neurologic form of EHV-1 and exposure risks in horses that attended the WPRA Finals in Waco, Texas between Nov. 5 and Nov. 9. We have confirmed two cases of EHM in horses that attended the Barrel Futurities of America World Championship at Lazy E Arena this week.

The BAF World Championship has been cancelled and horses who were at either event should be taken home, isolated, and quarantined for the next 14 days.

EHM spreads through horse contact, shared buckets and/or tack, contaminated trailers, airborne droplets from horses coughing or snorting and from people who handle exposed horses. Exposed horses that were at either of the events should be isolated at least 30 feet, but as far as possible, from other horses. Efforts to prevent air movement from exposed horses to unexposed horses should be made. Exposed horses are not allowed to move off the home premises until they have completed 14 days with no symptoms. Unexposed horses may travel to events, although it is recommended, they do not leave the premises unless truly necessary.

Owners should watch for:
Fever over 101.5
Nasal Discharge
Lethargy
Hind end weakness
Any neurological issues

If you notice any of the symptoms, please contact your veterinarian immediately. Cases that show neurological issues are considered a medical emergency.

*******************************************
ANIMAL HEALTH ALERT

The Oklahoma State Veterinarian has been made aware of a possible Equine Herpesvirus Myeloencephalopathy exposure at the WPRA event in Waco, Texas Nov. 5 through Nov. 9.

We are working closely with Lazy E Arena, as some of the horses from the WPRA event could be in Guthrie this week for the Barrel Futurities of America World Championship.

If you are from Oklahoma and were at the WPRA event – it is recommended you go home and quarantine your horse. If EHM is confirmed, horses who were in the Waco event will be required to quarantine at home.

Owners should monitor the temperature of their horse for spikes of 101.5 or above and increase biosecurity measures.

For questions about quarantine or EHM exposure, call the Oklahoma State Veterinarian's office at 405.522.6141.

Updates will be provided as they become available.

Welcome to the Berry College Gunby Equine Center

Located on the Berry College's 26,400-acre campus, the Gunby Equine Center serves as a focal point for equine-related education for the institution and the community. The facility was dedicated in the name of the Honorable Eugene Gunby in 1974. Stricken with polio when he was five years old, Eugene Gunby showed great personal courage and perseverance in overcoming his severe physical disability to become a skilled and avid horseman. He credited Berry College and his love for horses for developing the sense of responsibility, honor and values that guided him throughout life. The Gunby center recognizes his love and concern for youth.

The primary purposes of the Gunby Equine Center are to support excellence in equine-related instruction and research, student work experience, and service to the community and equine industry. Berry College owns approximately 70 horses. Horses are bred on site to some of the top stallions available or obtained by donations from the general public, which allows students to gain first-hand experience in dealing with a variety of animals and situations. The Gunby Equine Center also maintains an active breeding program of some of the finest AQHA bloodlines. The breeding stock consist of a band of broodmares and a stallion, we also use Artificial Insemination from the finest AQHA stallions in the country.

The Gunby Equine Center consists as a 185-acre operation. Facilities include five buildings, 64 stalls with tack rooms and wash-racks, an outdoor arena, and two round pens. The newest addition is a covered arena with attached classroom, offices, concession stand, judges stand, and seating for 400 spectators. Over 180 acres are used for pasture. In addition, there is access to many miles of trails throughout the mountains of the 26,000-acre campus.

The Gunby Equine Center is operated as one of several livestock units at Berry College. The primary purpose of the Gunby Equine Center is education, reproduction and equestrian events.
