I don’t know if I’m being dramatic but here goes...
we had a new horse come to our yard 2 weeks ago, however was returned 3 days later as wasn’t suitable for the family.
We have just been informed that this pony went through a vetting yesterday and has tested positive on a strangles blood test (or 0.7 reading).
This pony was stabled behind/ and in the next field to my horse.
I have had the vet come out and do a blood test on mine. Owner is blaming my horse saying it’s a carrier however said pony was out at arena hires /competing prior to it coming yet my mare hasn’t been competing or out our yard since September. Surely if mine was a carrier she would of infected some others by now ? I’m so stressed it been 10 days now and my mare isn’t showing any symptoms but also know they can carry with no symptoms. Just hoping she’s all clear ??
