NSW horses cross border

Horses have crossed from New South Wales into Victoria for the first time since the outbreak of horse flu four months ago.
The group of 66 racehorses were last night moved from a Sydney quarantine centre to Melbourne, along the Hume Highway.
The movement of horses across the border has been banned since the equine influenza outbreak in August.
Brett Fifield from the New South Wales' Department of Primary Industries says the horses do not pose a risk to Victoria's disease-free status.
"The horses that are moving have had equine influenza, have recovered, are off properties that have had scientific proven not to contain the disease so these horses are safe, each of them has been tested, to ensure that they aren't transmitting the disease and have built full immunity, so really they are the safest horses in New South Wales," he says.
