Pony is up to date with vaccines, however it’s not one that protects against FC1, so I’ve arranged for vet to come out this week and give new appropriate booster.
We’re due to go to a local show this weekend; I asked the receptionist about traveling after booster and she said wait 7 days.
Same practice has told a friend on the yard that she ( in the same situation) will be fine to travel, as it’s a local show (ie. not across counties)
This makes little sense to me; who knows who will be visiting this show, where from, and what their horse is carrying? Or am I wrong?
I will speak to the vet in detail about this on the day, but would like to hear others’ thoughts on this.
I feel that the safest/ most responsible thing to do is not to travel. I’d rather lose the money that I’ve paid out for box, fees, but wondering if I am wrong.
I’m also wondering how much this will actually matter in the sense that we’re on a livery yard with new and visiting horses coming every day.
