Comments: Small backyard herd of horses. They recently added two horses to their herd. They quarantined them until about 2/21/2024 and then turned these horses out with the herd. The affected horse was not one of the recent aquisitions. They are under state quarantine because some of the horses on the farm are used for barrel racing.;
