Title: Re: [MSAR] EHV-1 (Rhino) outbreak

From the article: (link below)

[...] So far, at least nine horses in Idaho, Utah, Colorado, California, Washington and Canada have been infected with the highly contagious Equine Herpes Virus-1. [...]The infected horses were among roughly 500 that attended the National Cutting Horse Association Western National Championships in Ogden, Utah, earlier this month. Now officials in several states are quarantining infected animals and asking owners of other horses that attended the competition to monitor the animals for symptoms.

Colorado, which has two confirmed cases of the virus, is now requiring permits for any horses being brought into the state. One of the horses was so ill it had to be euthanized, officials said. [...]
