The 6-year-old Quarter Horse mare, a recent rescue with an unknown vaccination history, was euthanized.
While two premises in Oldham County remain under quarantine, the outbreaks are unrelated, animal health officials say.
A facility in northeast Illinois is quarantined after two horses that were stabled there returned positive EIA tests.
Two Oldham County premises are now under quarantine, but the outbreaks appear to be unrelated to each other.
A 12-year-old Quarter Horse mare displaying severe neurologic signs tested positive for non-neuropathogenic (EHV-1).
Four horses from the Oldham County facility have tested positive for neurologic EHV-1 so far.
Meanwhile, movement restrictions on horses that have recently been at the track are being implemented.
Four horses have now tested positive for EHV at the New Orleans, Louisiana, racetrack.
The facility was released from quarantine following repeated negative EHV-1 testing on resident equids.
A 2-year-old Thoroughbred gelding stabled at the Louisiana track was euthanized after developing neurologic signs.
The unvaccinated 24-year-old gelding located in McCurtain County was showing mild neurologic signs of disease.
Some quarantines remain in place at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center, in Los Angeles County, and in Inyo County.
The horse was imported from Mexico earlier this year but tested negative for EIA at that time.
Meanwhile, no new cases have been confirmed in the unrelated Inyo County incident.
Tests are being run on another Los Angeles County horse and an affected Inyo County horse developed neurologic signs.
