EI Flu
I’m so mad why is it that the big thoroughbred industry gets first preference on who get the vaccinations? Victorian racing industry is whinging that they deserve the vaccination to protect their so called “spring carnival” get your heads out of the sand boys, we in NSW & Qld are in the throws of and epidemic and the horses in these states need the injections more then you. I have a friend that has a young up and coming dressage horse and he has had an infection that has affected his lungs she has approached her vet and asked for the flu vaccination and she was told that the horse isn’t eligible and is only available to horses going out of australia now that’s not fair, she is very worried that if the flu gets here he won't come through it.
Yes we have show horses and do compete.
Yes, my mare is due to foal anytime and we have two elderly horses as well. However this year was my daughters young horses first year competing under saddle and she was qualifying for the royals and of cause this flu has ruined it for us and many other showies but again, I’d rather have my horses health over a competition any day.
So why does the thoroughbred industry big wigs (and I’m not talking about the small trainers as they are feeling more of a pinch more then their richer counterparts) put the horses that have had the flu through hard training just to get them back on the track at the first sniff of yes we can race? Nobody is going anywhere.
At the moment we are very lucky that the flu has not come to the Coffs Harbour area but it is on our door step with horses testing positive at Uralla & Armidale.
With these areas affected why is it that MORONS are still traveling down the highway with horses on horses floats do they think they are made of gold and can’t be touched? If these people have been given special permission to travel the DPI needs to give these people a sticker or something that states they have permission to travel.
Even then It’s us the little pleasure riders who are to blame for spreading the virus, But who was it that bought these horses into Australia?
My heart goes to all who are affected and hope things get back to normal for you all quickly without to much stress.
