The entire horse world is completely freaked by the EHV outbreak. Its super contagious. Shippers are cancelling everywhere. Ours don't generally go anywhere except by themselves, so we're not worried, but you do need to be concerned about anyone that contacts other horses then yours, ie farriers, vets, fitters, trainers yada.
In my part of Va we are mostly hunter jumper fancy horse snobs, so less concern than in areas with Western style riding, but still everyone on edge.
