gees. i hope it gets under control and doesnt become a “high risk of infection” to cause the rest of us to be on high alert. if people would vaccinate their horses better things like this could be prevented. right? but then, it says that the neurological strain of this disease has no relieable vaccine against it. so would it have mattered if they would have given their horses a rhino vaccine? thats scary to think your horse can get sick just from going to a show, or even on a group ride. what are we to do? just stay home and ride in the back yard?

This is a very scary disease for horses. I feel sorry for all the owners, who will have to worry about their friends.
