Snot, sneezes & infectious diseases
Snot, sneezes & infectious diseases – current and emerging disease threats to your horse and how you can safeguard against them.
Unless you live in Iceland (we will explain why lol), or your horse has no contact with another horse which has travelled any further than the end of your yard for years – this is the talk for you!
What contagious diseases do you need to know about? What do they look like? Are they dangerous? and more importantly what to do about it.
Don’t wait until your yard is struck down with a disease – come and find out how to prepare yourself!
