Strangles Awareness Week (SAW) takes place in the first week of May each year to support anyone involved with horses to use straightforward, practical steps that help prevent the spread and impact of a very nasty and sometimes fatal disease.
Whether you are a horse owner or a yard owner, as part of your new years resolutions, why not consider your current biosecurity practices for your yard and horse management and see if you’re doing as best as you can to protect the equines in your care.
We believe that horses deserve the BEST protection from strangles and four key ways to make the BEST difference for your horse(s) are to:
Boost immunity through Strangles vaccination
Engage with trusted information
Separate unfamiliar horses
Temperature check routinely
