Reminder to all Mare Owners

As we look ahead to the 2026 breeding season, the IEC would like to remind all mare owners of the importance of adhering to international codes of practice for equine breeding. To safeguard the health of our horses and the integrity of breeding operations, all mares should be tested for Equine Viral Arteritis (EVA) prior to covering. Maintaining compliance with international standards not only protects your own stock but supports the broader industry in ensuring disease-free breeding environments and continued freedom to travel and trade.
