I've just has a vetting completed on a horse I want to buy and have had to have a strangles blood test so that I can get him into a livery yard.
The test came back with one antigen showing a reading of 0.4, the other was clear, but the lab advises 'exercise caution'. What does that mean? I've been advised to get another test in 10 days, which I'm doing (another 60 quid).
Who knows how many horses are carrying this virus and how many owners will be put off by the rigorous testing. There needs to be clear guidelines to vets and prospective purchasers on how we should deal with blood test results.
