SO, I turned on ABC National radio, and for some great reason, I have always ended up listening to sports. I hate my life. Today on the sports factor they were talking about Horse breeding restrictions this year and how it is messing up the foe’s that are going to born, and that there is a likely hood that the association might sue because of the lose of profit. Took a good 15 minutes of me listening to discover that there is a virus or some sort that is traveling through horses in the Australia area. So there is a sort of a ban on breeding til they eradicate the issues. They also talked to a man; I couldn’t understand what his name was, about the show horses that are not being allowed to come in or out of the nation. That all competitions have been cancelled from about August to April, and that the training for the equestrian Olympics has been skewed for Australian riders because they were not allowed to compete in the qualification rounds.

I didn’t know that horses were such a huge thing in Australia. Like, there are people that are quitting the equestrian industries because of everything that happened with this flu of some sort. They are starting to try and figure out if they need to change policies now about vaccinations with all animals that are performers, but even though this flu has attacked their horses they don’t want to change the vaccination schedules that they have used in the past.

This is not a story that I really would ever hear in America. Yes, we have had our fair share of Mad Cow disease, but I think everyone took that, and did everything that they could to fix the problem. Not fight new vaccine techniques and knew that there was a problem to take care of. I hope that they get everything figured out, at least for the Horses sake.
