Finger Lakes EHV-1 Update

On November 17, a horse from Engleharts's home farm tested positive for EHV-1, a necropsy was performed at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY.


The stricken horse was last on Finger Lakes' property for a published work on November 8. After the work, she returned to Englehart's farm, where she showed clinical signs of EHV-1 on November 17 and was shipped to Cornell.


On Saturday, November 20 a state veterinarian was on site at Finger Lakes. Later that day a general meeting was held to notify all trainers of the situation.
