- Temperatures must be recorded on the temperature log posted on each stall.
- All horses must display their entry number when outside their stall.
- Any suspicion of illness in horses, including a temperature over 101.5°F, should be immediately reported to the show office and veterinarian.
- Immediately isolate and/or quarantine any horse exhibiting symptoms of illness.
- DO NOT travel to another competition for 14 days.
- Avoid animal-to-animal contact.
- Do not share equipment between horses.
- IF YOU MUST SHARE, scrub and clean equipment with detergent and dry completely between shared use.
- When filling water buckets, DO NOT dip the end of the hose in each bucket. Hold the hose above the water when filling.
