The horse in the stable next to mine has thick yellow mucus that is getting spread towards my horses stable. Having been on another yard with strangles, I am aware that I may be being overcautious. The YO saw and just cleared it up and shrugged it off but its his wife who is the horsey one. Do I just keep schtum and hope whatever it is doesnt spread? I dont want to upset anyone unnecessarily. I know it might be nothing but it could be something quite infectious! The horses owners are fairly novice about this sort of thing and I dont know if they would think anything of it. Am I being a crazy person and just need to chill out? Advice please!!

This.

Are you going to feel worse that the unhorsey YO may be a bit miffed. Or if horse ends up having to have longer vet treatment than necessary or yard infected as it wasn't nipped in the bud if there is a problem.

I wouldn't speak to anyone else about it though and would let both parties know that, but definitely would advise YO wife and the owners.
