We know that diseases can be harmful to horses and can cause great impact on their health and welfare. They can also be costly, so any unexpected costs for vets bills and loss of income can be devasting to an equestrian business. If the equine disease is impactful on more than one horse, or it spreads around your livery yard \u2013 it can cause closures to riding schools or competition centres. In some cases, you may be advised to lockdown your whole yard until the infection has completely gone in order to protect other visitors or guests.<\/p>\n
