Case EHV-1 at Lier: "We spared no expense to respond quickly and correctly"

The KBRSF communicates about a case of EHV-1 detected during last weekend's CSI2* at the Azelhof in Lier. Owner of the Azelhof, Mike Hazebroek, reassures that there is no need to panic and all necessary measures have been taken to allow the upcoming Euroregion to go ahead without problems. 

On Saturday, Feb. 18, a rider's horse from Ukraine showed symptoms of EHV. The horse was immediately isolated and a swap was taken. By Sunday morning, the horse was already much better and left for its home stable in Germany along with 4 other horses from the same German stable.

On Monday evening, February 20, the results of the swap were received and it was a case of EHV-1.

The following measures were taken in the meantime:

  • The 26 remaining horses of the stable complex where the one horse was located in Lier have been blocked in the FEI database. After a procedure of negative swap tests over a fixed period of time, they will be able to be unblocked.
  • FEI is going to communicate with those responsible for the horses that were present in Lier week 1 and 2 asking them to follow up their horses extra.
  • The OC has already taken all possible measures to disinfect the stables according to the rules.
  • The FEI has appointed a veterinary delegate who will check on site to make sure everything is safe for the next competition.

All parties involved responded quickly and accurately. Together with the FEI, all safety protocols are now being followed up.
