On Saturday, the FEI announced that they have been notified of a horse in France, which has tested positive for EHV-1 and that is showing clinical symptoms after returning from Doha.

According to the FEI, this is a close in-contact of the horse in Belgium that, after returning to its home stables, had initially tested positive, but returned a negative B-test.

All 85 horses that competed in Doha are already blocked in the FEI Database and won’t therefore be able to compete until they have completed the necessary biosecurity measures.
