Give up? They are all horses that have died recently in NY state from Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) and there are many more. This is a 100% preventable disease through vaccination (you know, the “E” in your EWT). 🥺

🦟 Sometimes we hear, “my horse doesn’t travel so he doesn’t need these vaccines.” Nothing could be more false. EEE (and West Nile Virus) are transmitted through mosquitoes. Horses don’t need to travel to be exposed to mosquitoes.

Don’t skip a simple and affordable vaccine that will prevent a deadly, and increasingly more common, disease that IS in our area.

Update: we have found our help 🙂

We could use one more volunteer (to work with others) to help manage the arena for the donkey & mule show at the dutchess county fair on Friday, Aug 23rd. Responsibilities would include helping set up events (relatively light moving), gate management, and some manure management of the arena. Hours are 9am-3pm (with breaks).

If anyone is interested in being part of this fun event, please send a PM. We can offer a pair of Fair tickets to be used another day as a thank you. But, it's really about sharing in the kind of joy as shown in the picture! :-)

Attention Pine Bush Equine Services Clients,

We would like to bring to your attention this important information from The NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets.

The NYS Dept of Agriculture and Markets is confirming the state’s first Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) Virus case for 2024 from St. Lawrence County (Norwood, NY - about 5 hours from Pine Bush, NY).


What was found from this case:

EEE Case 1 - Norwood – 5y Standardbred mare

Not vaccinated by current owner, purchased from out of state sale in Spring 2024, past vaccination history unknown

7/22 – owner noticed horse was possibly blind

7/23 – owner said horse was not stepping to the side well, appeared sluggish, walking into fence, got tangled in fencing

7/24 – vet exam: normal tempature, leaning against tree, circles to the right, depressed mentation but was responsive to vet exams/treatment, head hanging down, ataxia on all 4 legs, front legs spread wide apart to stay upright, seemed colicky. Blood samples taken and aggressive treatment started which owners and vet continued for days.

7/24-7/27 – continued ataxia and same symptoms. Mare did not go down to lateral recumbency until the end.

7/28 – owner called to say that horse was doing poorly despite constant treatments and vet rechecks. Horse was euthanized.

Blood samples were sent to Cornell 7/24. The PCR for EEEV was positive and negative for WNV.

What does Pine Bush Equine recommend?

We recommend all clients have their horses up to date on preventative care and vaccinations. EEE is a mosquito transmitted disease so even if your horses are not exposed to other animals, or you do not travel with them, they can still be at risk and vaccinating them will help create a barrier against potential outbreaks. Depending on your location and the specific risks in your area, our veterinarians can provide tailored advice on additional vaccinations.

If you are unsure of the status of your horses vaccines, please call the office at 845-361-4917 or send us an email at [email protected].

Fairytales. We all love fairytales because there is a piece of us, a sliver of innocence left from our youth that suddenly surfaces when revealed by the printed page or silver screen. It?s there in our inner self, the part that still believes in magical tales. Looking at fairy tales through the l...
