EI Vaccinations for WHICH horses?
We live in SE Qld in the red zone.
With 10 horses on our property, consisting of miniatures (including mares in foal and a stallion), a TB gelding and a stock horse cross mare we have not been able to obtain vaccinations, despite representatives from the DPI telling us it would not be a problem if we applied, in fact we can’t even get a return call from a vet listed on the DPI site.
Luckily to date we have kept our horses and property EI free as far as we are aware, although now that the racing industry is moving horses and equipment freely it may only be a waiting game..
Our property has been registered with the DPI, yet we have not received any support and even the updates have simply stopped coming via email
Looking through ads on the Petlink site and talking to other owners it seems that many others have been able to obtain the vaccinations, and I am not talking about TB’s or horses in the so called “buffer” zones, these include unregistered pony mares and geldings, among a few. And to top it off I am aware that many of these were “free” vaccinations.
I’m just wondering what makes these horses have been given special consideration, or it simply the old adage of “It’s not what you know, but who….”?
Like many of your readers I am sure I am just one of many people disgruntled by the handling of EI situation by the DPI and related government bodies.
Thank you for taking the time to read my email.

It is very frustrating I have been trying to get answers from the DPI re quarantine etc and they will not answer either by phone or by e-mail. With vacinations try contacting the the QPPHI (for what its worth) on toftendu@gil.com.au and see if they can help or point you inthe right direction
Good luck
