Yes it was on the local facebook yesterday. Apparently it's poor old Josh the hunt horse who went missing for a couple of weeks last year. The farm in question have asked walkers etc to stick to the paths and have let people in the area know. Good on them for making people aware. Just hope it doesn't lead to the mass hysteria that the word "strangles" often seems to create. Just added: he hasn't been hunting he is retired and it was said that he hadn't been off the farm so they don't know how he contracted it.

I once had a pony in a yard where it was, nearly all the horses had it, some were quite poorly, but all recovered. My pony was one of the few who didn't get it, he may have had it previously.

Apparently at 28years old poor Josh didn't make it. Rest well boy.

Poor Boy. RIP. Horrible way to go. And good on the yard for being open and honest about this. Only way to prevent its spread is to be responsible. Honeylight - you were lucky. Perhaps your lad had had strangles before. Perhaps your bio security was good. Perhaps it was just one of those things. But strangles isn't to be taken lightly. Even if it just pulls them down it takes months to recover fully. And like Josh - some don't make it. Some have life long problems.
That said - strangles happens. It is in our wild equine population. We need to praise and support yards who are open and honest enough to shut down correctly.
