Equine Influenza

Impartial advice available from NAF

It will not have gone unnoticed that the racing industry have taken serious precautions regarding the current news of the equine flu outbreak. All fixtures on Thursday were called off by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) after three vaccinated horses tested positive for the disease, with racing cancelled until at least the 13th February. Equine Flu is extremely contagious and these precautionary measures are there to safeguard the health and welfare of racehorses and control the virus.

As there have been further reports of outbreaks in the wider equestrian community, it is understandable that this news can be a concern for those that own a horse and actively travel around the country to compete or ride at leisure.
