OGDEN -- The Horse and Hitch parade and all other events associated with the Ogden Pioneer Days rodeo next month will go on as planned and will even be enhanced, organizers say.

Nothing will be limited by an equine herpes virus type 1 scare that caused those in the horse industry to cancel events this spring, they say.

"We are hoping people from Salt Lake City will come," said Tracy Smith, director of the Ogden Pioneer Days Horse and Hitch parade.
