Buying from Ireland - Where can I quarantine here in the UK?

[wanderersmelody]

I am looking to buy a horse from Ireland. The yard where I am based want a strangles test before they arrive and are quite rightly concerned about the possibility of picking up a disease en-route. Do places exist in the UK where it could go into quarantine while I await results of a strangles test once delivered to the UK? I'm based in Essex. Thanks in advance.

Does your yard not provide an isolation stable(s)?
Surely that would be the most sensible route?

Any newbies on our yard have to have a strangles test before arriving but they don’t have isolation boxes. Therefore even if I ha e a strangles test prior to arrival, I am conscious that transport from Ireland with other horses would be higher risk for illness and am looking for a facility with quarantine

Most at my yard do isolation in their stable for two weeks

I sent my connie to a local SJ yard for 2 weeks who import horses week in week out and are therefore happy to receive them off the boat. Shouldn't be hard to find.

Maybe put something on a facebook group you might find someone there
