I need to alert anyone who attended the New Jersey Devil 50 mile ride
on October 26-27. My horse came down with Potomac horse fever which
he must have contracted at that ride. He first showed symptoms
October 29 and is presently in stable condition but thank goodness we
caught it. Four days is an unusually short incubation period (he
arrived October 25 in the afternoon). Horses that were at that ride
could still get sick. If you are not familiar with this disease,
please call your vet so you can be alert. Early detection is what
saved my horse.
