I think it's interesting that when the EHV- 1 virus hit earlier this year the horse community voluntarily, and almost immediately, shut down. Competitions were cancelled and no off site hacking was allowed. With the corona virus there has been no suggestion of this. My Facebook groups are still full of competitions and events and these are often with very poor toileting and hand washing facilities. Other countries have banned all large group activities because the risk of contamination is high. Why are we carrying on as usual? Do we care more about our horses than our grannies - who are the most likely to be carried off by this? What do people think?
