THE  horses,   that  participated  in  the  National Cutting  Horse  Association’s  Western  National Championships in  Ogden, have  been  cleared  of Equine  Herpes  Virus-1.        officials  WITH  THE  California  Department  of  Food and  Agriculture SAY  the  recent  disease  outbreak of  the  neuropathogenic strain  of  EHV-1 is  over  BECAUSE   it  has  been  14  days  since  the  last  clinical  case  was  confirmed.

Although  California  has  been  cleared  of  the outbreak,    C.F.D.A. officials  (and veterinarians)  WARN  THAT  owners  NEED  TO   remain  vigilant  in caring for  their  horses,   because  the  risk  of disease  is  ALWAYS  higher  when  animals  ARE  HOUSED  TOGETHER.
