Or a waiting until there is definite evidence and not scaremongering unnecessarily..

For sure, but if there is a transport ban in Holland how come certain companies brought two truck fulls back last week and are back for another 2 this week. We will look a bit silly if all of the top horses pull out of the Olympics!

Well Rhino I appologise for assuming everything that starts with 'rhino' is down to you! Haha I can see you had no part in this (unless you've been on your holly bags?) x

EAM = Equine Atypical Myopathy unless I'm missing something!

 

[rhino]

Yes

Yes I'm missing something?

EAM has nothing to do with rhino/EHV and is not infectious...

A few posts up was mentioning about a thread that had been pulled about a filly in winchester, with EAM. this is what i am referring to.

Thank you Still no idea if rhino has been officially diagnosed in the UK or not then

Got in in one. And on that note, any further unsubstantiated, unsupported, scaremongering will be dealt with accordingly, and the author.

Post of such issues, by all means, but have evidence from a reliable and trusted source (and linked), not third-hand whispers or the latest from the rumour mill, to back up any claims, or risk losing your access to the forum.

Accuracy and trust is paramount, lives and livelihoods demand it.
