Current situation update for horse owners:
Agriculture Victoria would like to thank those involved for their ongoing assistance in our investigation.
Following the announcement of an unusual level of sudden multiple deaths in horses, Agriculture Victoria can confirm only normal causes of death have been identified to date.
Horse owners can be reassured there is no need for any restrictions on horse movements and horse events and gatherings can go ahead as planned.
See our full update on the website: https://agriculture.vic.gov.au/horse-situation.
Please continue to monitor your horses health and contact your Vet if concerned.
Please remember that the temperatures are getting warmer, now is the time to really watch or prepare those laminitis prone ponies (and horses) as the grass will be coming in leaps and bounds after all the rain.
Plenty on in the Valley at the moment, keep your eye on Event Secretary and Happy Riding….hopefully now in the sunshine!!
