Post Storm Information for Horse Owners Residing in Flooded Areas

• Keep pastures free of debris to avoid accidents.
• Monitor storm waters as they can attract fire ants.
• Call your equine veterinarian for any injuries or health concerns
• Remove sick, aged, injured, lame or infirm horses from flooded pastures
• Keep horses away from areas of yard with septic tanks and septic fields
