Things got a little strange at the Davis County Sheriff's Mounted Posse Junior Queen Contest in Framingham, Utah after an outbreak of horse herpes forced the contestant to show off their equestrian skills on stick ponies.
Although equine herpes poses no threat to humans, the deadly disease is highly contagious among horses, and the animals are generally quarantined during outbreaks. (Which is why live horses weren't available for the Junior Queen Contest.)
There have been 3 confirmed cases of the Equine Herpes Virus-1 in Washington State.
May 31, 2011 Horse events across the state are being canceled as a precaution to prevent the spread of a highly contagious disease that has been confirmed in three horses in Washington.

May 4, 2011 Since the day I was born I have been captivated and inspired by horses. My horses have been my closest companions through life and have provided me comfort, love, and true friendship like I could never have imagined. I know for me, and my horse riding friends, there is no relationship that parallels the partnership of a horse. After the jump check out this adorable video of a little girl with her pony...It's amazing!
