An instructor has been visiting other yards (in north east) teaching and offering other services ie clipping etc whilst knowing that the yard she is based at has confirmed strangles... she has 'reassured' that she cleans and changes after visiting said yard..... how likely is it that disease could spread?
 
Depends on how much you trust her to disinfect in between yards.

Vets manage to do it and we wouldn't question them, if she is a respected professional, I personally wouldn't worry.
 
I've always been suprised how blase vets are about simple hygine precrtions like hand washing or useing disposable gloves when visiting us!!! mind I supose its good for bussiness!!! Oh so to answer to the OP no way would that person be welcome on our yard... unnessary risk IMHO
