EHV Statement

The National Western Stock Show (NWSS), set for January 10–25, 2026, is committed to animal safety. We have recently enhanced protocols already in place, and we will implement additional security measures if necessary. We are working in coordination with our veterinary partners, state animal health officials, and the Colorado Department of Agriculture to stay informed and prepared. Currently, there are no reported cases of Equine Herpesvirus Type 1 (EHV-1) associated with our facilities.

NWSS is working to develop a response plan should conditions change and will continue to monitor the situation in the coming weeks.

We encourage exhibitors to follow best practices for animal health and safety management. NWSS is dedicated to transparency and high standards of animal care for a successful 2026 Stock Show.
