Linda Parelli talks with Dr. Dwight Hooten, DVM
Linda sat down with Dr. Dwight Hooten, DVM to learn more about the EHV-1 outbreak in the U.S. and get his recommendations for protecting our horses from risk.
What are the symptoms? What should every horse owner know? What precautions should you take? What about farrier visits – do they put my horse at risk? If I have to travel, what should I keep in mind? …these questions and more are answered in this informative interview.
Many thanks to the Parelli’s for taking the time to inform and educate the public.

Very informative and well worth the time (about15 minutes) to listen to. Bottom line is there is no reason to hit the panic button, just be aware of the situation and pay attention to your horse’s behavior and associations.
