Avoid disease ... don't immerse hose nozzles in the water! 🧐

When you fill your horse's water buckets, especially if you are away from home, do not immerse the nozzle in the water.

This is because hose nozzles can be a major culprit in the spread of diseases.

“We’ve found with strangles that one of the best conduits of disease was a water hose, and you see this all the time at shows, where competitors and grooms use the same hose in a barn,” says Robert C.

We had one major strangles outbreak at a racetrack where we could track it right down the barn aisle where the same hose was used to top off water buckets.”
