Get to bed!! The only way to get over flu is to rest I'm afraid.

Boring I know, but sometimes you just have to put yourself and your health first.

this! When I had flu last time I couldn't get up off the sofa let alone think about doing the horses. It will take 10 times longer to recover if you try and do too much. Sometimes a little impromptu break does them good anyway.

There’s no point pushing yourself if you feel so poorly, as you’ll make yourself worse and then it will last twice as long.
Mine had to have an unscheduled two weeks off due to me being poorly a few weeks ago, then I got her back up and running for a few days and was unwell again so she had another week off.

She’s none worse for wear and has probably thoroughly enjoyed her little holiday!

Get well soon x

I think I've had 'flu twice in my life, and both times I had a fever, aches in every joint and muscle in my body and extreme tiredness; I stayed in bed for two days.

last winter i had a really bad flu type virus and hardly left the house for 3 weeks, i was so weak i thought i was on the way out!!!!! i lost a stone as i didnt want to eat anything (very unlike me) i couldnt even walk my dogs let alone ride or muck out....you need to stay indoors and keep warm, eat if you can but make sure you drink plenty..i am sure your horse will come back into full work easily and will love a little break.....

I think we must have had the same thing I think it hit me so bad as I got the flu about a week after an operation, I looked terrible and lost over a stone in weight hope I don't get it this year.

you need to be extra careful, have you had the flu jab? i had never had flu till last year and as it was so bad i have had the flu jab for the first time. i am an oldie so decided it was worth trying it.
