A horse at a yard I'm working on is due to foal, the mare was due to go to the local stud to foal as we have no experience in it, very expensive horse and foal etc.....so, the stud requires a blood test before the horse can be accepted, the tests showed the mare is carrying strangles. Result been the mare will now foal down at home (whole other story!) the reason for this post is I'm not sure how this could effect my own neddies? Since we found out I have been having a shower and full change of clothes before I go to see my 4 horses when I get home from work.
The horse is a carrier, not showing any symtoms
Can it be passed from horse to horse via me? (On my hands, clothes etc)
Can she pass it on even though not showing any symtoms?
I have googled it but different people say totally different things!
All advice welcome
