Health Alert: Horses May Have EHV-1 from Trail Ride in TN

Thu, 10 May 2012 18:00:00 GMT

Throughout the day our office has received numerous inquiries about the illness reportedly affecting horses in TN, MS and KY that have a commonality of having participated at a trail ride in TN during the end of April.

The attached document provides relative and factual information as we understand it tonight.

2012 – EQUINE ILLNESS - TN’s BUCKSNORT TRAIL RIDE

Kentucky’s Response and Position - Updated May 10, 2012
Questions or Comments to Rusty1.Ford@ky.gov

Late yesterday afternoon the TN Department of Agriculture alerted Kentucky’s Agriculture Commissioner, James Comer and staff in the KY State Veterinarians Office of an illness affecting horses that had participated in the Bucksnort Trail Ride held in Tennessee late last month (April). Information provided by Tennessee officials describe horses as presenting with varying symptoms that include neurological abnormalities. The information released yesterday also provided that the illness has resulted in four equine deaths with four additional horses demonstrating similar symptoms. Earlier today we learned that preliminary diagnostic testing gives evidence that one or more of these sick horses may have contracted Equine Herpes Virus Type-1 (EHV-1).

Management at the trail ride provided to TN officials a listing of participants that included seven (7) Kentucky residents. These individuals participated with eight (8) horses originating from the Kentucky counties of Edmonson, Logan, Simpson, Todd and Warren. One of these horses is included as a fatality of the illness. Veterinarians and the owners of the remaining seven horses all report the horses returned from the trail ride in good form and remain bright, alert, responsive and healthy this morning. These seven horses are not known to have direct contact with any sick animal and will continue to be monitored closely. Diagnostic samples collected from the single ill horse residing in KY prior to its expiring have been submitted for diagnostic testing. Other horses residing on this same farm are under veterinary restriction pending a determination as to what caused the horse’s illness.

The Kentucky State Veterinarians Office is providing the following ‘preliminary’ information and our position in response to a diagnosis of EHV-1 having caused the neurological disease being described.

Investigative information believed to be accurate includes:

1) It is reported eight (8) horses participating in a Tennessee trail ride have become affected with an illness thought to be a communicable disease with a tentative diagnosis of EHM. Horses demonstrating illness have or are residing in Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky.

2) Four of the cases have resulted in equine deaths.

3) Preliminary PCR testing has detected EHV-1 viral DNA in at least two of these cases. Additional and more definitive testing continues.

4) The Tennessee Department of Agriculture has provided to officials in bordering states a listing of individuals that participated in the trail ride.

Kentucky Response:

1) Investigations conducted within Kentucky identified eight Kentucky horses had participated. Results of the investigation demonstrate that at this time Kentucky’s equine population was minimally impacted.

2) Resulting from the apparent and potential spread of this illness, we encourage elevated biosecurity precautions be implemented by Kentucky facility managers and managers of shows/exhibitions/trail rides etc held in Kentucky.

3) We have been contacted by and provided guidance to trail ride managers on precautionary measures that should be implemented stressing that the goal of a biosecurity plan is to prevent the transmission of infectious agents among individuals.

4) Our additional ‘recommendation’ is that horsemen consult their veterinarians, and after evaluating their animal’s vaccination status against encephalitic causing diseases such as West Nile virus, consider if there is a need to stimulate immune response by vaccinating against EHV-1. We acknowledge the available vaccines’ labels make no claim to prevent neurologic disease, but based on our successful experiences managing outbreaks of this disease, and in consultation with infectious disease experts and research scientist, we continue to be of the opinion the vaccine does have a meaningful level of efficacy and minimizes impact of this disease.

5) Commissioner Comer and Dr. Stout have directed Animal Health personnel to work closely with show managers and veterinarians to insure immediate notification of any suspected communicable disease is made to appropriate officials. Commissioner Comer stressed early notification allows a quick response by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture which in turn provides opportunity to minimize any potential direct and indirect negative impact to our industry might suffer.

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as information becomes available.

AJ Jolly Park Ribbon Cutting in Memory of David Rust, Northern KY Horseman

Virginia Grulke - noemail@kentuckyhorse.org — Tue, 08 May 2012 20:00:00 GMT

On Saturday, May 5, 2012, the new trails and horse campground at the 1,000 acre AJ Jolly Park in Campbell County were officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. After years of planning, meetings with local officials and trail building, the facility now offers 20 miles of trails in an area of Kentucky where trail riding opportunities are few, along with a 28-stall barn and a 12 site horse campground. The campground was partially funded with a $10,000 grant from the Kentucky Horse Council. In attendance at the ceremony were members of the Northern Kentucky Horse Network, which spearheaded the project. Also celebrating were local officials from Campbell County including Judge-Executive Steve Pendery, and members of the Fiscal Court and the Parks Department, all of whom played a large role in making this horse-friendly park come to fruition. One person who was missing but who played a pivotal role in the whole project was David Rust, horse owner, trail rider and member of the Northern Kentucky Horse Network. David passed away unexpectedly last fall, and this facility is dedicated to him. The ribbon cutting ceremony included a memorial for David, as well as a plaque in his honor. We all miss David, his sense of humor and business-like demeanor. Jim Mayer, also a member of the Northern KY Horse Network and one of David's best friends, took up the reins on the project after David's death, with the assistance of other NKHN members. This park project is a model of how horsemen can improve their own community, develop relationships with local officials, and also help develop horse trails and facilities. If you would like to ride and/or camp at AJ Jolly, visit the Parks page of the Campbell County website at http://www.campbellcountyky.org/parks-and-camping.html

The Southeastern Equestrian Trails Conference, a national conference on conservation activities and land manager relationships for trail groups, is coming to Lexington this summer for the first time on July 12-14. This conference is being hosted in Kentucky by the Kentucky Horse Council.

The conference features two days of national and state speakers covering everything from the new U.S. Forest Service Planning rules to “why there is mud in the water”, to a youth presentation of their trail and leave no trace experiences in Kentucky this spring. First Lady Jane Beshear will kick off the event with a welcoming talk about the importance of trails to the horse community. This conference attracts trail leadership from around the country in addition to the southeastern states.

Prior to the two day conference, on Thursday, are two optional activities: one is a workshop at Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill where local Back Country Horsemen have formed a partnership with Shaker land management and learned how to keep a viable horse trail system in a Nature Preserve environment. The workshop includes discussions of this developing relationship, as well as a boat trip down the Kentucky River and a tour of historic Shaker Village.

The second optional event is a Horses and History tour, where participants visit some of the highlights of the Bluegrass area including Keeneland Race Course, Three Chimneys Farm and the Mary Todd Lincoln home.

Registration and the full agenda can be found at www.southeasternequestriantrails.com. You may attend the workshops or tour, the conference for both days, or the conference for one day. The conference is being held at the Hilton Hotel in downtown Lexington, and also includes exhibitors relating to trail activities across the country and in Kentucky.

Milt Toby Wins Sixth Annual Dr. Tony Ryan Book Award

Thu, 03 May 2012 13:00:00 GMT

April 26, 2012

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LEXINGTON, KY—Longtime racing journalist Milton Toby is recipient of the sixth annual Dr. Tony Ryan Book Award, presented by Castleton Lyons and Thoroughbred Times. The award was presented by the late Dr. Ryan’s son, Shane Ryan, at a reception on Wednesday evening in a room in the historic stallion barn at Castleton Lyons in Lexington.

Toby won the $10,000 first-place prize for his book Dancer’s Image: The Forgotten Story of the 1968 Kentucky Derby, published in 2011 by The History Press. The 1968 Derby remains the only renewal of Louisville’s classic in which a first-place finisher was disqualified. Toby, a college freshman attending his first Derby that year, watched Dancer’s Image glide under the wire an apparent winner. Like the rest of the world, he was stunned days later when the headline “Derby Winner Drugged” appeared on front pages of newspapers around the world. The gray colt’s post-race urine sample had tested positive for then-illegal phenylbutazone, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.

Toby’s interest in the complex, dragged-out case grew over time as he earned a law degree after working. He had been a staff writer at The Blood-Horse magazine in the 1970s. He spent years investigating the questionable science behind the lab-testing, along with the volatile politics and cast of characters involved, and the lasting impact of one of racing’s biggest scandals. The end result is a relatively small book with very large implications, exhaustively researched and beautifully written.

“One of my goals was to make complicated subjects understandable to a reader with no specialized knowledge,” Toby told Thoroughbred Times. “I wanted to make the entire case, both the racing and legal aspects, accessible to people who didn’t have the time or inclination to track down and wade through thousands of pages of testimony and reports.”

Other finalists for 2011 were Her Last Race, a novel by ex-jockey Kim Schaumburg (Publisher: Black Rose Writing), and Andy Plattner’s collection of short stories, A Marriage of Convenience (Publisher: BkMk Press, University of Missouri-Kansas City).

The judging panel, comprised of Washington Post-Bloomberg News Service Managing Editor Kay Coyte, award-winning broadcast sports journalist Caton Bredar, and last year’s Book Award winner Jaimy Gordon, believed Toby succeeded well in what he had set out to do.

“Toby takes the story forward and gives it a rightful, pivotal place in the still-unfolding timeline of illegal medications and horse racing,” said lead judge Coyte, who called the book engrossing.

Bredar agreed, noting that Toby went to “heroic lengths in researching the subject” and had created a “very readable and interesting account of a watershed moment in racing history.”

Originally called the Castleton Lyons-Thoroughbred Times Book Award, the competition was renamed in 2008 to honor the memory of Dr. Ryan, founder of Ryanair and Castleton Lyons who died in 2007. Dr. Ryan drew upon his passions for horse racing and fine writing when he launched the award in 2006.

Previous Book Award winners were: Joe Drape for Black Maestro (2006) a biography of early 20th century African-American jockey Jimmy Winkfield; T. D. Thornton for Not by a Longshot (2007) about Massachusetts’ struggling Suffolk Downs racetrack; Dr. Rudy Alvarado for The Untold Story of Joe Hernandez: The Voice of Santa Anita (2008); Ted Bassett and Bill Mooney for Keeneland’s Ted Bassett: My Life (2009); and Jaimy Gordon for the novel Lord of Misrule (2010).

Team Valor to Sponsor Scholarship in Memory of 3 Time Kentucky Derby Winning Jockey, Isaac Murphy

Thu, 03 May 2012 13:00:00 GMT

Lexington, Ky. –April 30, 2012— The Race for Education is pleased to announce Ms. Brittani Koons of Gahanna, Ohio, as the first recipient of the Isaac Murphy Scholarship. This college scholarship is sponsored jointly by Team Valor International Racing and the stables owners, Barry and Kathleen Irwin and is awarded to an African American student that has a passion to work in the equine industry upon graduation. Criteria for this scholarship include financial need, communication skills, leadership, and commitment to the agriculture industry. This scholarship will be awarded to one student annually. The amount will be based on the recipient’s level of financial need.

Two percent of the earnings of all Team Valor’s horses, including 2011 Kentucky Derby Winner Animal Kingdom and 2012 entry Went the Day Well will provide funding for these scholarships.

Brittani Koons, a freshman at Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio, will receive up to $18,000. She is majoring in equine pre-veterinary studies and pursuing a minor in Equine Business Management. She has an interest in attending veterinary school upon graduation with future goals of becoming a racetrack practitioner and a secondary career as a Thoroughbred farm owner with a breeding operation. Koons is currently working at a small animal hospital as well as volunteering with a nearby boarding facility to gain the hands-on horse experience needed for veterinary school.

"African Americans had an important and positive impact on horse racing in an earlier era of racing in the United States," Irwin said. "I want to do something to honor that heritage and encourage today's black youth to consider a career in our great sport." The award memorializes Isaac Burns Murphy (April 16, 1861 - February 12, 1896), an African-American Hall of Fame jockey, who is considered one of the greatest riders in American Thoroughbred horse racing history. Murphy won three Kentucky Derbies. Murphy rode in a total of eleven Kentucky Derbies, winning three times: on Buchanan in 1884, Riley in 1890, and Kingman in 1891. Kingman was owned and trained by Dudley Allen, and is the only horse owned by an African-American to win the Derby. Murphy is the only jockey to have won the Kentucky Derby, the Kentucky Oaks, and the Clark Handicap in the same year (1884). At its creation in 1955, Isaac Burns Murphy was the first jockey to be inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.^[1]

The Race for Education provides educational programs and college scholarships to young people in the equine and agriculture industries with significant financial need. The majority of their students come from high need, low income backgrounds. The Race for Education not only offers financial support for these students, but also mentoring, tutoring, and partnership support to ensure students are receiving the support and educational skills they need to be successful. The Starting Gate, a youth outreach program was also established by The Race for Education in 2009 in New York and has expanded to include two Central Kentucky locations in 2011.

Flarida and Wimps Chocolate Chip Run to Victory in CRI3* at the Ariat Kentucky Reining Cup

Thu, 03 May 2012 12:45:00 GMT

From USEF
By Helen Murray

Lexington, KY- Eighteen of the top reiners from the U.S. and Canada vied for team and individual honors in the CRI3* division of the Ariat Kentucky Reining Cup Friday evening. Riding Reining Pattern Number 10, the best in the game went head-to-head in the Alltech Arena. An appreciative audience needed to wait until the final rider of the third and final rotation entered the ring. It was well worth the wait as Shawn Flarida and Wimps Chocolate Chip slid to a decisive four point victory.

Flarida (Springfield, OH), who won the inaugural CRI at the 2011 Ariat Kentucky Reining Cup, and Rick Clark's seven-year-old Quarter Horse gelding ran to a score of 228 on the strength of great acceleration and phenomenal slides and spins. From his bold entrance all the way to the final slide, Flarida rode like a man on a mission.

"I just had a lot of fun in this ride. You can run him and he comes right back. You can run him down there and the just say 'whoa' and he comes right back. I have a lot of enjoyment playing with this horse," said Flarida of the horse he has been riding since his three-year-old year. "This horse here, his longevity is unbelievable. He's really fun to ride."

Following directly behind Flarida in the standings, were his teammates from the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. Tom McCutcheon (Aubrey, TX) who collected Team and Individual Gold medals as part of the Adequan U.S. Reining Team for the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games finished second riding Turnabout Farm's Chic Olena Starbuck with a score of 224. In third place was Craig Schmersal (Overbrook, OK) and San Juan Ranch's Whizs Katrina finishing on a score of 223.5.

In the team competition, the Smartpak team was crowned victors after posting a cumulative score of 664. This team was composed of McCutcheon and Chic Olena Starbuck, Mandy McCutheon (Aubrey, TX) and Shawn Stratman's Don Julio Whiz and Pete Kyle (Whitesboro, TX) and his own A Ruf Gal.

Kyle reflected the sentiments of all the reining competitors and their excitement about the Ariat Kentucky Reining Cup which is run in conjunction with the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event presented by Bridgestone.

"We really enjoy this event. We realize we want to come here and have ourselves and our horses come and look well because we are in front of a new audience."

The Ariat Kentucky Reining Cup concludes Saturday with the Reining World Freestyle Championship at 5:30pm ET.

Both the CRI3* Open FEI Reining and Reining World Freestyle Championship are available to watch live and free of charge on the USEFNetwork.com presented by Smartpak.

Coverage of the Reining World Freestyle Championship begins at 5:30pm ET on Saturday April 28th.

KENTUCKY HORSE COUNCIL PUTS U.S. EQUINE DISASTER RELIEF FUNDS TO WORK

noemail@kentuckyhorse.org — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 19:00:00 GMT

Lexington, KY, April 12, 2012 - This year, tornadoes devastated many towns in Kentucky, affecting a great number of people as well as animals. Many horses perished during, or a result of, the tornadoes. The surviving horses were left in dangerous situations, as they encountered destroyed barns, blown-down fencing, overturned trucks & trailers and loss of feed. Their owners also lost homes and vehicles, so worrying about their animals added yet another burden. The Kentucky Horse Council (KHC) immediately put the U.S. Equine Disaster Relief into effect to help Kentucky and surrounding states. In the past, the fund had been used for tornado and flood victims in Texas, Vermont, and Mississippi. This time though, the disaster was right here at home and in our neighboring states. The Horse Council office jumped into action and spent the entire next week communicating with extension agents, veterinarians and individuals in the hardest-hit areas. U.S. Equine Disaster Relief...

The Kentucky Horse Council is hosting this national equestrian trails conference, which is focused on the conservation of natural resources and close working land manager relations.

“We are thrilled to welcome Darley Newman again to Kentucky,” said Anna Zinkhon, President of the Kentucky Horse Council. “Her shows educate a worldwide audience, whether they ride horses or not, of the excitement and interest of being on the back of a horse while exploring a region or culture.”
