EI Airborne at Diamond B
“EI has to be airborne,” declared Helen Chugg today who confirmed the first cases at Diamond B Stud in Glossodia. “The first horse to get it here was eleven days after the lockdown and we couldn’t have been more careful with our bio-security measures. Today (Thursday 6th) we have five cases.
“I am relieved in a way, as we were always going to get it and we are not expecting any foals until the end of October, so I’m hoping everything we have will have had it and be over it by then. At the moment, the imported stallions, Vivant (pictured) and Conquistador are well and because they have been vaccinated previously, I am not expecting them to get a bad bout, if at all. We have several European horses here and some have been vaccinated quite recently, so we are not expecting them to get the flu”.

as a horse lover living in glossodia I was very shocked when my gelding got the virus, he is on the tail end of it now we were one of the first in the area to get it, we got it from the property next door who's horses are 32 & 35yrs old & yes they are ok,it will be hard being quarantened for 50 days as we have a horse at box hill recovering from ingury and I will now have to pay the vet each week to tend to him when I would normaly to it myself. I feal for everyone who is stuck away from home with no real time as to when this will end.
