⚠️IMPORTANT - STRANGLES ⚠️
There has been a huge increase in strangles cases in the area. (West Yorkshire)
In order to keep all the horses I come in to contact with safe please can I ask that if your horse has come in contact with or there is a horse on your yard or neighbouring yards with suspected strangles that you rearrange your appointment to a later date.
If I find anybody who hasn't declared this then I will not treat your horse moving forward.
We must all work together to try manage this disease. You are not dirty if your horse has contracted it, it is a highly infectious disease which is why it spreads so easily. Any information declared to me will be kept confidential but PLEASE for the safety of all the horses can we be open and honest.
If you are unsure, please talk to me.
Of course I will be on top of my infection control procedure with cleaning and disinfecting my equipment and myself.
