January 28th, 2016: No horses who have been at either Turf Paradise Racetrack in Arizona or Sunland Park in New Mexico in the previous 3 weeks are allowed on the pologrounds. Both racetracks are currently under lockdown for the next 21 days
for EHV infections. Horses have died or been euthanized at both places.
Several others have tested positive or are being tested. If anyone has brought
a horse here from either place, they must notify the polo club managers and
me immediately. If anyone knows of any horse that originated from either
track and is on the grounds currently or is at one of the surrounding farms or
clubs, please come forward and notify us. This includes any horse that may
have come in as a polo, show or riding horse prospect. While we have no
knowledge of any problems locally, this infection has spread quickly between
the New Mexico and Arizona tracks and we must be diligent to avoid the
problems here of a few years back.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
