State veterinary officials are asking horse owners in North Carolina to watch for symptoms of a highly contagious equine disease following diagnoses of multiple horses with Equine Herpes Myeloencephalopathy, the neurologic disease associated with Equine Herpes Virus. Cases were confirmed Nov. 9 by the Texas Animal Health Commission and the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry. Currently, there are no confirmed cases of EHV-1/EHM in North Carolina.

“I encourage all horse owners, veterinarians and event organizers to take this current outbreak seriously and implement procedures to prevent further spread of the virus,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “I encourage event sponsors to take all necessary precautions to prevent further spread of this virus and protect equine health. Given the nature of this virus and routes of transmission, and out of an abundance of caution, I strongly recommend canceling or postponing equine events if possible as the best method to protect horses from further exposure until such time as the extent of the current outbreak has been determined.”

Training Tip Tuesday. More exercises to prepare the horse for the flying changes - The 20 meter walk or trot counter shoulder in to canter volte. In this exercise, the horse will be asked to mobilize the shoulder during the counter shoulder in phase. The canter will occur on the 10 meter volte with the depart taking place over centerline. These elements will encourage the horse to sit more resulting in a more expressive, uphill transition. Riding the volte in a slight shoulder fore position will add to the level of collection and the expression of the canter. This is an excellent way to improve suppleness, self carriage, hindquarter engagement and balance. Accuracy, geometry and timing are of the utmost importance in this exercise.
