EHV-1 Update

Effective April 14, 2022, the state has released all quarantine sites in Orange County, San Diego County and Los Angeles. Our Equestrian Center has returned to normal unrestricted operations. However, we recommend everyone remain cautious and keep a “heads up” when traveling to horseshows or other facilities to ensure the Nellie Gail Ranch community can remain safe for the months to come.

Recommendations per CDFA remain as follows:

  • Limit horse-to-horse contact
  • Avoid use of communal water sources
  • Avoid sharing of equipment unless thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between uses
  • Monitor your horse for clinical signs of disease and report any temperature over 102°F to a veterinarian

We thank you again for all your efforts in successfully keeping our community safe from the EHV-1 outbreak.
