VEE and Its Effect on Fair Raises Racing Questions
The outbreak of Venezuelean Equine Encephalomyelitis and a moving horse embargo raise questions about the 83rd Gillespie County Fair races on August 20 21 and 22. Officials hope the embargo will lift if the vaccine avoids sleeping sickness within 14 days. Most horses come from outside the county, with many from San Antonio and Austin. About 100 stalls were reserved when the ban was announced, and more may come if the vaccine schedule works. Spraying has been done statewide, and the fairgrounds are treated before and after events involving animals.
