Outbreak of Rhino/EHV 1 in Valencia, Spain

Even if it wasn’t at WEC, it would be nice to know where the case was found. Ocala has TONS of horse farms, several show facilities, and multiple training tracks, with horses flowing between them daily. Where can I find where the positive case originated?

If it’s like California the officials won’t release the name. Sometimes you can get a vague idea if there’s a description of the facility wherever the state or feds post the info online. Or you can nose around on Facebook, searching for EHV.

Here’s a link to a nation-wide, searchable data base. https://www.equinediseasecc.org/alerts

I was surprised there is no legal notification required.

The EHV vaccine does not protect your horse from the neurological version.
