🐴 EHV-1: What every horse owner needs to know

Equine Herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) is a highly contagious DNA virus that can cause respiratory illness, reproductive loss, and in some cases, the neurological condition EHM (Equine Herpesvirus Myeloencephalopathy).

Common signs include:
• Fever
• Nasal discharge & coughing
• Swollen lymph nodes
• Reduced appetite
• Incoordination or hind-end weakness (neurological cases)

🏟️ Horse shows are major hotspots due to close contact between horses, inconsistent biosecurity procedures, and shared water sources or equipment.

⚠️ Horses can shed EHV-1 during the incubation period, meaning they may be infectious before showing any symptoms.

Disease Prevention
✔ Quarantine new or recently travelled horses for 3 weeks
✔ Follow your veterinarian’s vaccination recommendations
✔ Limit horse-to-horse contact during travel
✔ Do not share equipment or water buckets
✔ Keep records of all horse travel
✔ Maintain strong barn biosecurity and disinfect high-touch areas
✔ Monitor temperatures daily after travel or events
✔ Isolate any horse showing fever or respiratory signs
✔ Restrict movement during an outbreak

If you suspect your horse has been exposed, contact your veterinarian immediately.
