Urgent Message for Horse Lovers

Marion Pellicano Ambrose


This information was sent to me by my good friend Nina. She lives in Arizona and is an avid rider and lover of horses. I share it for our DRL friends around the country who share her love of equestrian pursuits, and for the rest of us who just plain love horses!


URGENT ALERT! Friends, we have never posted things like this on this site before, but there is a real crisis in the horse world, and we want to share this information with you in case you don't yet know. A horse-killing virus is spreading quickly through the country, affecting horses from coast to coast.
 Please be VERY careful when you're around any horse that has been transported from any one place to another. DO NOT TRANSPORT YOUR HORSE ANYWHERE UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Check the Internet for updates, talk to your vet, and don't touch other horses.


WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU WATCH THIS VIDEO AND SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW WHO HAS A HORSE.
