Owners urged to remain up-to-date with horse flu measures

Horse SA says horse owners and event organisers need to ensure they are kept up-to-date with changing horse flu biosecurity measures.

The Department of Primary Industries and Resources (PIRSA) has this week changed the permit system for equestrian events and horses travelling into South Australia.
Julie Fiedler from Horse SA says it is important horse owners check PIRSA's website regularly and that the industry works together to ensure horse events resume next year.
"I think there still needs to be a lot of work with the awareness of what is actually involved because nobody has really had to experience this before," she said.
"So it is really important for committees and organisations to get permits and perhaps work through some of the issues to share that information with others that perhaps haven't quite got that far yet."
