EI means no horses for Cooma Show

The south-east New South Wales agricultural show circuit continues to struggle in the aftermath of the horse flu outbreak.

Despite the all-clear being given on equine influenza (EI) and the lifting of bans on horse transport, the Cooma Show will be forced to go ahead on Saturday without horses.

However, the Cooma Show Society's entertainment organiser, Gail Eastaway, says there will still be plenty of attractions.

"Cooma won't have horses. We had to make that decision some months ago when EI was still at its worst so we had to unfortunately make a very hard decision not to have horses," she said.
