Suspected Strangles in my Area

[Del Boy]

Hiya All

I've heard that this may be around the Hanworth/Hampton (TW12 Area).

Anyway, we are supposed to be taking 2 horses to a show this Sunday in Charlton Village, so was hoping for some advice on this.

Many thanks,

Derek

only advice i can give is DON'T GO! for the sake of one show when there will be many others is it worth the risk.i know you may have payed entry fees and stuff but the loss of those will be cheaper than a vets bill and not to mention the health of your horses.ring the vets and ask if and when they can confirm?

Hi,
I wouldn't go to the show either. Some ponies at our yard had it last year. It was a terrible time for everyone. Keep your ponies safe until you know the facts.

Thanks All, as I was driving 2 horses & owners, but have decided not to now, even if it upsets them, as they are very pally with my horse & always hang out together, so he is bound to catch anything they do.

I think the YO is going to mention to us all later today, not to go to any shows/other yards in our area for a while, just in case, which I think is good advice.
