“The Animal Health Trust and the British Horse Society are tackling Strangles – the equestrian world must do their best to support them. Strangles is a problem we can no longer afford to ignore. Every horse owner should be aware of the threat and be prepared to join the fight against it.”

“Strangles is a terrible disease that causes great distress to horses. I fully support the Animal Health Trust and the British Horse Society in their efforts to combat Strangles.”
