PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR HORSE EXHIBITING ANY SIGNS OF ILLNESS INCLUDING: swollen lymph nodes, a fever, depression, fatigue, nasal discharge or other signs.

1. Please maintain distance between horses when you park or tie your horse.
2. Please maintain distance in the staging area as well as in the show ring.
3. Please do not touch others horses or let your horses mingle together in close contact
4. Finally, adhere to the guidelines below in regards to water troughs, buckets, tack and your own hands.

We encourage horse owners to follow these equine biosecurity tips when traveling with their horse to protect our horses and other horses from disease.

1. It is always best to use your own trailer and equipment. If you must borrow, clean and disinfect items thoroughly before exposing your horse and again before returning.
2. Don’t let your horse touch other horses, especially nose to nose.
3. Never put the end of a shared hose in your horse’s water bucket without disinfecting first. Don’t hand-graze your horse where other horses have recently grazed.
4. If you touch other horses, wash your hands with soap and water, and dry them well. Use disinfectant wipes or hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. Don’t let strangers pet your horse.
5. Clean and disinfect tack, boots, equipment, and grooming supplies before returning home. Make sure to clean off dirt and manure before disinfecting.
6. Shower, blow your nose (germs can survive a long time in nasal secretions), and put on clean clothes and shoes upon your return.
7. Keep returning horses separate from your other horses for up to 4 weeks. When doing feeding and chores, work with the returning horses last, wear boots and coveralls, and remove them before working with your other horses.
8. Don’t forget to wash your hands.
