This poor girl is getting told 10000 different things to do but just a thought... If Ebs was to rub on the fence or something whilst in the school, would the infection not spread, or for example, you obviously touch her, lead her into the menage, ( touch the gate to shut it - then others touch it too ) then get the jumps out, you are then infecting the poles etc and then when other liveries get them out they get the infection on their hands and the ringworm spreads further... This is taking it to the extreme obviously, but maybe just whilst it clears up you would be better just walking her out in hand so she can't touch anything, or lunging her with a lunge rope rather than loose schooling her??

I feel awful adding another bloody opinion to you BSJA123..... but think you should do all you can to stop it spreading...

Hope it gets sorted soon...

Totally agree.. if you were on the same yard as me, I'd be furious with you to even think its a good idea to do what you have done regarding jumping. - The jumping is not the direct issue, but its EVERYTHING you touch that is. You and your mare should be on isolation until it clears up.
I know it happens and sorry its happened to you. but as a horse owner PLEASE be more aware of what your doing.
 
My mare had ringworm many moons ago..was treated with Malaseb wash *in November* its highly contagious so your mare really should be in isolation..once cleared all your bedding should be burned your stable disinfected (jeyes) all brushes,rugs,headcollars washed..and you should also wash your hands everytime you touch her as ringworm is transfered to humans..really shouldn't have your mare in any shared enviroment..good luck

Ditto this. My pony has something prescribed by my vet added to his feed when he gets a bit loose. I know what it does, would probably recognise the name but would have to go to the feed room to get the packet in order to be able to put the exact details on here. but that doesn't mean I don't have a clue as to what I am doing. Give the poor girl a break - she is still a child!

Unfortunatly your mare should be on box rest...in a isolation stable she is highly contagious.not being excercised in a communal area!!
Click to expand...

As above.

Are you having some kind of laugh? No way should you be taking your horse into communal areas. Anything you touch is potentially infected. She should be isolated in her stable, unable to touch anything at all and when the ringworm is gone, then you need to disinfect her stable. Ringworm lives for years in wood. I cannot believe that you are this naive. Surely the vet told you to isolate her? She may need exercise, but tough s***, you need to ISOLATE her.

Frankly, if other horses get ringworm on your yard, they can quite easily demand that you pay all vet bills for their horse if yours has infected them. Wise up, grow up. You have an obvious responsibility to isolate her. I would be furious if you were allowing her anywhere near my horse or using an area that I might then use. Anything made of wood is at risk.

I really am NOT having a go at you...But unless you are washing off the gate to the menage, the jump poles, wings etc you arn't washing EVERYTHING... I really is none of any of our business, and I don't think anyone means to be nasty, and even though ringworm isn't a terminal disease it is still a pain in the bum, and for the sake of like you said in previous post saving yourself everyone elses vet bills if not anything else, do you not think it best that you and your horse are isolated for a week or so to clear it up...Other wise you could effectively be spreading it around the whole yard without knowing it!

Sorry for going on, I just don't think you realise how easily the bloody thing is spread :)

P.s. If you can't walk her inhand for anyreason, it most definately will not kill her to be kept in and do nothing for a week or so... My horse has been cross tied in his stable for 10 days now and is doing just fine, it is not nice, and they do get bored, but if it means it'll go away quicker ( By you not re-infecting her everytime you touch her after touching something you infected previously ) surely that could be your answer??

she is on boxrest ? and were can i move her too? no other yard is going to take her?

Why are you wanting to move her onto another yard?? I thought you had posted that she has just been confirmed as *having ringworm* but you still got her out jumping??:confused: that *got her out jumping shouldnt have happened*

are you MY VET? no well stop telling me what i can and cant do thanks
 
Feel free to exercise her, just not at the expense of others! Thats all Iam saying. Nothing wrong with taking her for a walk without having to touch things others might.
I wasn't having a 'go' at you, just slightly concerned that you don't seem to grasp the seriousness of it.

Well done for doing what you are doing re cleaning your brushes ect.. and as for naming 'medicines', I stuggle to remember exact names too. Writing them down helps me loads, I have a better chance of remembering it then.

You are laughable. It is a highly infectious disease. Do what you like but if you put other horses at risk, then you will get what you deserve. Do your parents earn so much that you don't give a damn that they may have to pay out other peoples' vet bills? Grow up, child.

I'm sorry but that comment is just silly your vet SHOULD have advised you of the seriousness of this disease but clearly has'nt..get onto them first thing for clarification I think you will be amaze at how contagious and hard to rid of this disease can be..even more so if it is passed around.

So that makes it OK for you to use the yard facilities to encourage the spread of the ringworm? Someone has been careless already, don't make the mistake of doing the same. To know that she is infectious and to carry on using communal areas is negligence.
 
Me think people are getting a little hysterical over a disease that really, is not that serious in the grand scheme of things. Treat it, it will clear up. Try and avoid contact with other horses, but shut the horse up for 24/7? Are you all mad? Electric tape off some of the field and let her out there, in quarantine of course.
Yes, it's not nice, but it happens with anials.
