Strangles Awareness Week 2024

Ahead of Strangles Week, two new videos have been released to raise awareness of this devastating disease demonstrating just how quickly it can take hold.

Strangles Awareness Week in the UK is an annual event taking place from 6-12 May 2024, dedicated to raising awareness about the prevention and management of Strangles, a highly contagious and debilitating respiratory disease affecting horses.

During the week, horse owners, veterinarians, and equine professionals are encouraged to come together and share knowledge, best practices, and resources to help combat the spread of the disease and protect the welfare of horses.

Take the Temp Check Challenge!

We’re encouraging as many horse owners as possible to take their horse’s resting temperature as part of their routine and enter the reading onto the free online Temp Checker where their average temperature is calculated automatically. Monitoring horses’ temperatures is a great horse health habit that makes a big difference when it comes to preventing the spread of infectious diseases.

Throughout the week, there will be practical, informative content shared across the Strangles Awareness Week social media platforms to show horse owners how to implement this into their horse care routine.

Strangles Awareness Week plays a crucial role in promoting the health and well-being of horses across the United Kingdom.

May Open Day:

It is with great regret that we won’t be proceeding with our first Open Day of the season on Sunday 5 May. The ongoing rain has meant that our fields where visitors park are just too wet. Instead we hope to see you at our Fundraising Fashion Show on Saturday 11 May or our June Open Day on Sunday 2 June.
