Horse owners along the Murray River are urged to keep an eye out for the symptoms of two mosquito-borne viruses.

Supplied: Primary Industries and Regions SASA's chief veterinary officer Mary Carr said most animals infected with the viruses showed no symptoms at all."Things like, if you can imagine having a migraine, the horse's head is hanging down, the tongue may be hanging out," Dr Carr said.

"There may be some muscle movement, some tremors, and they may be a bit uncoordinated in their gait.""We have programs in place to assist with the cost of the laboratory test to either rule in or rule out whether these diseases may be what's causing the clinical signs," Dr Carr said. "It's not overly likely that we'll see cases, but we do want horse owners to be aware it could possibly happen."
