Strangles Case Confirmed at Hartpury

Hartpury College have published this post on their website:

“28 September 2018

Please be aware that we have a confirmed case of Strangles bacterial infection at Hartpury Equestrian Centre affecting a horse. The horse is in isolation and we are working with the vets to ensure appropriate steps are in place to minimise risks to the wider equine population. This includes reducing horse movement, cancelling equine commercial bookings / events and ensuring everyone is aware. We feel it is important to be precautionary, considering our standing within the equine industry, and to minimise risks as much as possible. These actions are likely to be in place until the 10 October 2018.

All equine events are cancelled until 10 October, or until otherwise advised.”
