Based on all current information, we are fairly positive that the WPRA Finals was not the starting point for this EHV outbreak. Events of that size bring horses from every direction, which naturally increases the risk of airborne viruses, but that does not make WPRA the source.

There has also been a lot of speculation about patient zero, so let us say this plainly. Jennifer Sharp was not patient zero. She did everything right. The moment she learned how serious and contagious this situation was, she packed up, put the horse first, and went home. That level of responsibility is exactly what helps stop the spread.

We genuinely appreciate clients who take action quickly, communicate honestly, and prioritize the safety of every horse around them. Owners like Jennifer make a difference.

Stay alert, stay honest, and stay home if your horse was exposed. Responsible decisions are what slow this down.

Coby van Baalen talks about Ferro: “I always believed that Ferro was a very good horse because he has a very good character, and the power in his hind legs is very good. He is a strong horse. We saw he had a lot of talent for collection, we worked on the basics, many many transitions until he went better, started to use his back better.

When temps drop, your horse’s best heater is their hay.

As they digest forage, it creates internal warmth. Literally heating them from the inside out! So before reaching for another blanket, toss in an extra flake or two. Their stomach will thank you, and so will their body temp.

Bonus tip: More hay = more water needs. Keep water unfrozen and easy to drink with a heated bucket.
