You could add a link to that thread in this post so it is easier for people to find it.

New outbreak at Philadelphia Park/PARX. 2 barns quarantined for 21 days
http://www.thehorse.com/articles/33409/parx-racing-quarantines-two-barns-due-to-ehv-1
Outbreak in MN/ western WI. At least 2 positive dx, neuro version resulted in euthanizing 2. 6-7 awaiting tests. Apparently contracted at a barrel racing show.
From the University of Minnesota Equine Center:
"As we go into the weekend, we wanted to post a quick update on the current status of the EHV-1 cluster. At present EHV-1 has been isolated from 4 horses with characteristic neurological signs. Tests are still outstanding on a few neurologic and non-neurologic suspect cases.
The good news is that there have been no new neurological cases identified over the past few days. The local horse community has been coming together wonderfully to address the situation, and affected properties and known exposed horses are under appropriate quarantine. For uninvolved horses and properties, the general recommendation is to avoid unnecessary transport and mixing of horses at shows, clinics, and competitions. Many, though not all, upcoming shows and clinics have been canceled.
One aspect of the situation that has been a point of confusion for many has been the fact that the “non-neuropathogenic” genetic variant of EHV-1 has been identified in each of the confirmed positive cases. This terminology is a bit unfortunate, as it is often interpreted to mean that only the respiratory form of EHV-1 has been diagnosed, or that biosecurity measures may be less rigorous. This is not the case! While the majority of outbreaks of neurological EHV-1 are caused by the “neuropathogenic” genetic variant, up to 25% of them are caused by the “non-neuropathogenic” type. It is not a particularly important distinction when dealing with an outbreak, as rigorous biosecurity measures must be imposed for both variants - this variant can simply be viewed as being somewhat “less neuropathogenic” than the more virulent alternative. The Minnesota Board of Animal Health only considers disease caused by the neuropathogenic variant to be reportable. Quarantines and event cancellations are voluntary and the responsibility for good decision-making resides firmly with horse owners and their veterinarians."

Unfortunately today another EHV 1 positive case was reported in Wright County MN. This horse ran a fever on 3/20/2014 tested positive as of today and started showing neurologic signs today.
Also a case from last week in Winona County MN was also confirmed. This case started showing neurological signs on 3/14/2014 was treated and later tested. The test for this horse came back positive this morning.

7/8 cases are either barrel horses or are on farms with barrel horses. To date no one point source has been found to explain this outbreak.

Iowa case of EHV1
Today it was found that a non barrel horse, originating form Iowa stopping at destinations in both Freeborn County MN and Hennepin County MN then going back to Iowa, tested positive for EHV-1 non neurotropic . On Monday 3/24/2014 the horse became neurologic and was unable to urinate. On 3/26/2014 the horse tested positive. This information was shared with us by a colleague and confirmed by the office of the Veterinarian treating the horse in Iowa. This obviously is of great concern considering the number of horses exposed.

Please note that some of these horses live in one County , train in another County and show in yet another County. It is now apparent that there are cases circling the twin cities metro area, and some out state.
