There has been strangles in Inverness but all the shows are going ahead now, including the Black Isle yesterday, so it must all be settled by now

I also heard it was in north ayrshire, i don't think stewarton comes under north ayrshire? but there are at least 2 yards in ayrshire with it as far as i've heard through facebook, that was last week so maybe more - for the time being i'm keeping my herd strictly at home only! (not that i was planning on going anywhere anyway!)

There is def an outbreak of Strangles in the area, 3 yards have been affected! One in particular had failed to notify visiting guests of their outbreak and as a result it is not getting any better!! Beware of taking your own ponies/horses to any riding holiday in Ross-shire, pretty unscrupulous owner at one particular yard!! "It's not notifiable" is her attitude to it all!!
