So now things have calmed down a bit here I thought I would let you all know the new measures we are implementing to ensure we are never struck down again! 1. Any new livery or holiday livery coming to the yard will need proof of a Strangles blood test within the previous week of arrival which will highlight any exposure to the infection in the last 6 months. If any results are positive then we will advise the owner to have the guttural pouch test and to test any other horses that could have been in contact. Unless they have a negative blood test then no new horse will be allowed on the yard until they have a clear guttural pouch test. This will also highlight any potential carriers as they tend to shed every 6 months so will have had a live infection that the test can pick up on. Again carriers can be cured with the guttural pouch flush and antibiotics put directly into the pouch. 2. All lessons and school hires will now enter the arena through the bottom door, in other words only liveried horses will be allowed beyond the yard gates. 3. After each event, the outside arena fence and surrounding ground area will be sprayed with Virkon. Even though the infection only lives for 2 days once outside of the horses body this will remove any doubt. 4. Antibacterial hand washes are still being used around the yard and arena areas - please use them. The blood test costs around £40 and I think for peace of mind it is well worth it. It will show up only exposure to the infection so only the guttural pouch test will show for definite if the horse has had it or is forming it. So as we have found, an immune horse could still show positive on the blood test but not actually have it or have had it as it just shows a rise in antibodies to combat the infection. If anyone ever has any questions then please do contact me! Hopefully if all livery yards follow suit, especially with the blood test, we might all as a horse community help to reduce the number of outbreaks. On another note, I would highly recommend consulting Yorkshire Equine Practice as they are extremely knowledgeable and well experienced when it comes to the ins and outs of this infection.
