		Specific issues involving the international movement of horses and horse products, including quarantines, imports and exports, regulations, etc., are being addressed very capably by the U.S. horse industry and the USDA.
		First, horse exports are being hindered because international countries are placing a quarantine on the entire state as a result of a disease outbreak that is very regionalized; for example, vesicular stomatitis, where horses in northern Texas were not able to be exported because of positive tests for vesicular stomatitis in southern Texas.
