Sorry for any mix up cedars, I personally think they have handled it well, as soon as they were aware of the situation. The bit that I wasn't sure of is that the liverys arnt allowed to hack out in case they spread it to others. They are doing that to check no new cases develop. When we go for...

Is it a notifiable disease then? I thought the owner did the right thing by isolating and restricting movement the day he was aware of the positive result? Do the owners legally have to tell the yard owner? And what about the vet.... Do they have to stay confidential to the owner in a strangles...

They are isolated. Both horses are turned out in a field at the back of the premisis. The yard is no longer able to compete/hack until the horse gets 3 clear swabs and there are no new cases. That's the impression I got from talking to my friend. They may have been on the fun ride before they...

Black-horse-white: the horse that has contracted it is fairly new too the yard, within a couple of months. It might have had it a while but wasn't tested and confirmed until Monday I dont think from what I can gather. It's the only case on the yard that my friend is aware of although it is...

Thanks cedars, it's definatly the truth. I have seen my friends (who is a livery) open letter that the yard released confirming the case. There is also a note on theirs coffee room notice board.

Have sent out more private messages with the name. It would be so much easier to put it on here!!!! But rules and all. Can someone tell me if I am slowed to say what the yard hae and havnt done to control it? Or do I have I privately message you all that arenaskingvwith that info also? Thanks

Think I have messaged everyone that wanted to know.

Have done. and thanks for the advice again people. I've found a fact sheet on the reswings page which was helpful.

I assuming I'm ok to private message you the name? I know you can't publicly post it. Happy to as long as its not going to cause trouble!!!

thanks for the advice. the riding school dont appear to bothered as they arnt informing customers. I know via a livery whos on the yard. i guess they still have a business to run and if its isolated then its not a problem. i will carry on going i thing as they still need business but will be...

I currently have lessons at a riding school in the crewe/nantwich area of cheshire. I know they have a case of strangles on the yard. Im just after some advice really. I am a mum returning to riding hence why im having lessons. my children however share a friends pony who is on a different yard...
