NSW: Police horses have equine flu =3

Mr Macdonald said later authorities suspected the horses had been infected by police
riders, some of whom had been at the Hunter Valley riding event believed to be the source
of the outbreak.

"It looks as though a couple of the police riders attended that Maitland event, that
may have been the source, that's what I've been informed," Mr Macdonald told Macquarie
Radio.

The minister said no police horses had attended the event but the infection might have
been transferred from the riders' clothing.
