Qld - Living with Horses in the Green Zone

DID YOU KNOW--

Queensland Performance and Pleasure Horse Industry (QPPHI) represents all non-racing horse owners in all QLD zones.
Horses in green zone can be moved/travelled WITHIN the green zone with a WAYBILL. (available from DPI www.dpi.qld.gov.au permits)
You CAN walk or RIDE your horse within the GREEN ZONE.
It is compulsory for all horse owners in Queensland to register their horse property(s) with the DPI, regardless of zone colour or number of horses. (go to www.dpi.qld.gov.au )
Green zone horses CANNOT be moved or ridden through or taken into, the AMBER or RED zones.
You CAN apply for a permit (one way) to move a horse into the RED zone. The horse must STAY in red zone until movement restrictions are lifted. (go to www.dpi.qld.gov.au )
Humans CAN spread EI easily, so when visiting the RED or AMBER zones, avoid horse properties where possible.
Practice BIOSECURITY before returning to the GREEN zone, and shower and change footwear and clothing BEFORE touching your own horses.
CARS, CLOTHES, AKUBRAS, CAPS, HELMETS, BOOTS etc can spread EI. Remember to thoroughly clean yourself, clothing, wheel arches and tyres if travelling within RED ZONE horse areas--- and AGAIN on return home to GREEN.
If planning a trip to RED zone, check DPI website for EI infected areas and ensure your Biosecurity Practices are in place.
Donkey's and Zebras can also get EI.
PLEASE HELP QUEENSLAND HORSE OWNERS' EVERYWHERE ---KEEP THE GREEN ZONE FREE OF EI!

As an industry, we must remain vigilant. Please always practice strong bio security measures even in the green zone. This disease is so contagious, we must eradicate it. We can not allow EI to be here for future generations of horses, horse owners and horselovers.
Remember to keep an eye on the DPI website for updates and changes.
Please pass this info on to your friends, family and contacts...
Thankyou for your time and vigilance!
