PTR has been monitoring the postings and articles regarding neighboring states issues with infectious desease that impacts horses. When issues arise, we consult with our club vet and the State vet for their input and advice. We would like to share the information they provided us on April 16:

1. There are no outbreaks in Colorado. We have been coorperating with other states and following these issues very carefully. At this time, they don't want to unnecessarily restrict venue owners or horse clubs from having events.

2. They encourage horse owners to keep good records, vaccinate, monitor your horses and do tempature checks as appropriate. If you have any concerns, contact your vet.

3. We hear more issues when horse events increase. Stress comes with travel and competition. Stress will cause a horse to shed viruses and they then will show signs when they could have been a latent carrier for a virus.

The summary comment was: We don't want people to stay home and hide, but we do want them to know how to keep their horses safe. The best way to do this is pratice strict biosecurity.

From the State Vet’s website: Biosecurity means doing everything you can to reduce the chances of an infectious disease being carried onto your farm by people, animals, equipment, or vehicles.

Showing Your Horse
■ Don’t let your horse touch other horses, especially nose to nose.
■ Don’t share equipment (e.g., water, feed buckets, brushes, or sponges).
■ Wash your hands, especially after helping other people with their horses.
■ Don’t let strangers pet your horse, especially those with horses at home or people who have been out of the country in the past 2 weeks.
■ Use your own trailer. Don’t ship your horses with horses from other farms.
■ Ship only in a trailer that has been cleaned and disinfected. If you can “smell horse” in the empty trailer, it has not been cleaned and disinfected properly.
■ Before leaving the show grounds, clean and disinfect tack, boots, equipment, and grooming supplies. Brush off dirt or manure; then disinfect (spray or wipes are easy to take with you).
■ When you get home, shower, blow your nose, and put on clean clothes and shoes before going near other horses.

Bringing Horses Back From a Show
■ If one horse has been shown, all your horses need to be vaccinated. Horses that show can bring home germs. Discuss what vaccinations the horses need, and how often, with your veterinarian.
■ If possible, keep horses which were off the farm isolated for at least 2 weeks. Make sure there is no nose-to-nose contact.

Bringing in New Horses
This is the most likely way for infectious diseases to come in.
■ Keep every new horse isolated for 30 days. Don’t use pitchforks, grooming tools, or feed and water buckets on any horse but the new one. Mark these with red tape, or use red brushes, etc., only for the isolation area.
■ Work with the isolated horse last each day. Alternatively, wear boots and coveralls when working with the isolated horse and remove them before working or going near other horses. You can keep these in a plastic-covered tub near the horse.
■ Always wash your hands and blow your nose after working with the new horse. You could carry germs to your other horses in your nose.

We hope that these items are helpful. Please visit the State Vet website for more information. ... See MoreSee Less
