Influenza
I'm fourteen, I've been riding at gymkhanas, fun days and jumping eventssince I can remember. My mum and I have 6 horses, none of which have beeninfected YET. If the DPI and etc is so certain that all the horses aregonna get the virus, why don't they let it spread quicker so that it getsout of the way quicker?
I know there are probably a thousand million people out there with old horses and such that might not pull through, so they should be the ones who get the vaccination. Surely the younger racehorses wouldn't need it, because they'd be pretty certain to recover from it.It's just a thought, if we're gonna be kept in lock down until ALL thehorses are over it, then vaccinate the older horses and possibly thepregnant mares which are nearly due because they're the ones who aren'tgoing to make it, and let the rest of the horses get it quicker, which isn'tgoing to happen if they're all separated.

We as responsible horse owners need to help slow this disease till the buffer zones are up and running.Irresposible people who just want to "let it go" will mean it may jump the containment lines and all our lockdown efforts will be in vain.
I have friends that have young healthy horses and some of them are very, very sick and may never recover completely or at least for a long time (6+ months!) so if we can avoid EI, it would be best to do so. Don't stop bio-security just because it is in the "too hard file"!
