Equine Herpesvirus- Respiratory

Powhatan County and Fredericksburg, VA

Alert ID: 850

March 01, 2018

Source: Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services

The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services confirmed no additional Virginia horses have been exposed to the horses which were positive for Equine Herpervirus Myeloencephalopathy. Several horses from Maryland visited the Hazelwild Equestrian Center last weekend for an Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) show; the farms in Maryland associated with these horses have been quarantined and all horses will be monitored. The immediate neighbor of the Powhatan County farm is voluntarily quarantining their horses due to casual contact. No Virginia horses have had any contact with either property, including trail riders.
