FARMINGTON -- While the state has yet to officially cancel any events involving horses that might have been exposed to a local recent equine herpes outbreak, owners and arenas are taking precautions.
Because of the outbreak, contestants at the Davis County Sheriff's Mounted Posse Junior Queen Contest had to cowgirl up Thursday night without their mares.
Instead of competing on horses, as is typically the case, contestants were asked to trot around the arena with stick horses as their show ponies.

If this turns out to be another ‘Polish’ joke. Alice, ‘to the moon!’ :-)
Perhaps Cowgirls have shown themselves to be a bit light headed. After all, they do attempt to ride bucking broncos and bulls (not all needing that 25 cent piece)
Do they still earn a trophy? Texas has its share...just like the rest of the country. The image is priceless!

""It will give you experience for if you happen to have a problem like this later in life," Steed said with a smile. "You already have the experience of riding a stick horse!" Ladies, we tip our hats to you."
Yeah right. Later in life they will be mocked mercifully.

I’ve heard of gonorrhea from a tractor, but herpes from a horse?

IMO it doesn’t even rise to gay. It’s more like collegiate.
A very rare and special variety of egiate.

"Utah has 13 suspected and seven confirmed cases of equine herpes virus after horses at a regional cutting horse competition at the Golden Spike Arena in Ogden first showed symptoms of the illness." It should be quite obvious to everyone that all the horses had just arrived back from a rodeo .....in Mexico.
