DPI Updates - Useless for Victoria
I have signed on for the regular DPI updates on the EI situation but find the updates pretty much useless.
I am in Victoria, getting increasingly frustrated at the fact all horse races can be run, god forbid the government not make as much money as possible there, whilst all the non racing competitions get cancelled, one after the other.
Then the EFA finally runs a competition, which I entered, only to find out that the owner of my agistment didnt want anyone going to large gatherings of horses!! so had to withdraw. Now she is protection her property and business( which is fair enough) but she is going off all the warnings sent out by the DPI and gossip from various professionals within the horse industry, dentists, instructors etc.
I am not interested in reading the history of where EI started, just what the situation is in Victoria and straight forward recommendations on what should and shouldnt be done. It seems hypocritical that small gatherings are ok, lessons and clinics, yet a compition is excluded, where there are actual formal biosecurity measures in place.
Thank you to the team at horse deals as I feel I get more information and updates from your articles and blogs than any goverment site.
Kind Regards,
Katherine Johnson

So many people are saying that EI has been in Vic the whole time, isn't there anyone who can place a blog on here who can confirm this. It is quite bizarre; and if true - then quite corrupt.
Get used to the frustration and miss information from the DPI. Here in sth east Qld we have been living with this since the start of the whole EI thing, the DPI only what they are told by the horse racing industry and if dont fall into this group they dont give a rats about you or your horses, then after 2months they will start to tell you that you need to be more carefull with bio-security because if we dont it is going to cost us $300 a year to vaccinate each horse you own so in short they are soften us up for yearly vaccinations
