Attention Horse Owners π΄
We have had a single confirmed case of Strangles diagnosed.
At present we believe this to be contained and the likelihood of spread is low.
However, we would advise all horse owners to be vigilant and to observe Bio-security measures at their yards or when visiting other yards/horses. We would advise at this time that movements between yards, lessons and competitions are halted.
Strangles is a respiratory disease which only affects horses and presents usually as a purulent nasal discharge, often with a cough and swollen 'glands' behind or under the jaw.
Please do not ask us for any further information as to where it is as we are unable to tell you.
