🚨 IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR OUR HORSE COMMUNITY 🚨
Lavaca Expo Center Temporarily Closed – Please Read

Due to a confirmed case of EHV (Equine Herpesvirus) in the area, the Lavaca Expo Center will be CLOSED for the next two weeks out of an abundance of caution and to protect the health of our horses.

❗ Please DO NOT bring your horses to the expo center for any reason during this time.
No hauling in.
No stopping by.
No exceptions.

This temporary closure is necessary to help prevent the spread of EHV, keep our local barns safe, and protect our animals.

We will post updates as soon as the facility is cleared and reopened.

Thank you for your understanding, responsibility, and for helping keep our equine community safe. 🐴❤️
