“The disease can be fatal to horses and is incurable.”

Herpes, like most all retro-viruses, is incurable in humans as well.

“Horse herpes” may sound silly, but if you’re a horse owner, you’ll know that this is an incredibly dangerous threat.

Horses are herd animals and thus very susceptible to communicable diseases. The first thing they do when they meet each other is to go up and sniff deeply, nostril to nostril. Well, unless they hate each other on sight or from a distance, in which case they start to kick and squeal immediately...

File this under "Headlines You Never Thought You Would See."

Have these words ever occured in this sequence in the history of the English language?

I never really knew how dangerous horses could be until I saw a serious fight between two quarterhorse mares.

Yes, it's true...

The vets diagnosed the horses by listening to them canter: the infected horses went clippety-clap.

(Old Saturday Night Live joke, IIRC.)

Cheers!
