Using the BEST steps significantly reduces the risk of Strangles, but outbreaks can still happen. Watch our film to discover how one yard smashed Strangles and turned their experience into a positive for both their liveries and their yard’s reputation. youtube.com/watch?v=Z-plcL4D…

If you suspect or know your horse has Strangles, remember that you’re not alone. Work with your vet and other affected owners and reach out to people who may have been through an outbreak themselves and will understand the challenges. #SAW25 #StranglesAwarenessWeek (2/3)
