Today, a horse in another barn was diagnosed with EHV1. As a precautionary measure, all horses from Payson are under quarantine for 21 days. Although frustrating, we just have to patiently wait for the hold to be over.
That being said, I don't think there is any better place for all the horses to be quarantined than Payson Park with the immense paddock space and top class veterinarians and other horsemen. All we can do now is wait until we are allowed to run again. We will keep you updated with any new developments.
