Rocking Horse has issued an update on their event page that the event will run as planned this weekend:
2/28/13 –
After meeting with show officials and consulting with the State of Florida, we have decided to go forth with the Winter III Horse Trials. We do ask for the safety of all involved that all competitors and grooms use common sense and good horsemanship practice with our equine partners. Per the recommendation of Dr. Bill Jeter, the Bureau Chief of Animal Disease Control of the State of Florida, it is recommended that any horses that have been to HITS after February 17th refrain from coming and instead practice their own bio-security measures at home. Horses will only be allowed on the property with a health certificate or letter from a veterinarian that has been obtained within 72 hours of arriving on property stating that the horse shows no signs of EHV-1. We will be checking them at the gate so please have them available and ready upon arrival. Please be patient as we will try to get everyone checked in as quickly as possible! If you have any questions, please contact us. Thank you!
