Badminton issued a statement this morning about a confirmed case of neurologic EHV at the Beaufort Hunt Stables. The Badminton Horse Trials are just 6 weeks away, and a quarantine of the stables there could last 3-4 weeks or more. Hopefully this will have little impact on the competition horses– but it is still cause for concern.
There is a confirmed case of Equine Herpes Virus in the Beaufort Hunt stables at Badminton. We are consulting with our veterinary advisers including biosecurity experts from the Animal Health Trust so that we can ensure a secure environment for the international event horses, which are not due to come here for another 6 weeks. We will keep everyone informed of our plans.
We will provide a further update in the next few days.
