Equine Health Checklist

It has been produced by NEWC, BEVA and WHW for the Equine Sector Council for Health and Welfare

The checklist sets out the essential routines to help care for horses responsibly in a simple, accessible format and will encourage – among other good habits – basic disease prevention in routine horse care. The ultimate aim is to have the poster displayed in every yard, vet’s reception, horse owner’s stable etc. – indeed everywhere that it can be seen by horse owners and keepers.

AHT LAUNCHES GUIDELINES FOR HORSE OWNERS IN LIGHT OF RECENT EQUINE HERPESVIRUS (EHV-1) OUTBREAK
In the light of recent Equine HerpesVirus (EHV-1) outbreaks, the AHT has launched a set of guidelines for horse owners and event co-ordinators to help minimise the risk of any infectious disease spread.

Commenting on the guidelines, Dr Richard Newton, Head of Epidemiology and Disease Surveillance, at the AHT, said: “We have had a lot of enquiries from horse owners worried, in particular, about the risk of EHV-1. We have pulled together these guidelines to advise horse owners and event organisers on best practice to avoid the spread of infectious disease.

“This is, of course, in light of the recent EHV-1 outbreaks, but the advice would be the same when dealing with a case, or indeed outbreak, of any infectious disease.

“I would reiterate to anyone concerned that their horse may have been exposed to, or is infected with, EHV-1 or any other infectious equine disease to contact their local vet for advice as soon as possible.”

Since November 2012, the AHT has assisted with six outbreaks of EHV-1 in Devon, Somerset, East Anglia and Gloucestershire. All six have caused neurological signs in the affected horses.

This is an unusual number of outbreaks to diagnose in such a short period of time – in previous years; the AHT would have been surprised to have six outbreaks in the course of a year. However, through our disease surveillance programmes, the AHT regularly sees peaks and troughs of disease occurrence, and at certain periods we experience more cases of a certain disease than at other times. Unfortunately there is no clear scientific explanation for this.

EHV-1 remains latent in a large proportion of the UK’s equine population, and similar to the cold sore virus in humans, it can, under certain circumstances, re-activate itself. This is when it causes problems. It is believed that the virus re-activates when horses are under stress so we advise horse owners to avoid putting their animals under undue stress.

If you are concerned that your horse may have been exposed to EHV-1, please consult your vet for advice. If your horse is infected or has been exposed, please act responsibly and avoid moving the animal until it has been given the all clear by your vet.

In the light of recent Equine HerpesVirus (EHV-1) outbreaks, the AHT has launched a set of guidelines for horse owners and event co-ordinators to help minimise the risk of any infectious disease spread.
