Our yard on now on lock down for one week.
They are doing a risk managed return to racing Wednesday.
I can't answer for @OwnedbyChanter but the one week I believe is because there is a three day incubation period and possibly another three to see if that's spread.
Yes why is that a shock?OMG I just re read the latest one is that HORSEMEAT!!!
Think it's seeing it in black and whiteYes why is that a shock?
It's a fact here that horses go for meat. Some are need specifically for that market.
Nothing much shocks anymore.

What I find strange is that nearly half the horses were vaccinated ones. I know it's like human flu jabs they can only guess the strain. They are saying that you should revaccinate if your horse its over six months since it was done, but until they manufacture a vaccine to cover this new strain. It seems pointless to me to top up a vaccine that possibly isn't working. It could take months to produce and approve a vaccine for licence.
I think there are two horses that have died?
