💡 Top Tip Tuesday – Tip #13
Getting together and meeting new people is part of the charm of championships but it can be the perfect environment for spreading diseases. A few simple habits can help keep your horses safe such as:
👉🏽Avoid contact with unfamiliar horses, for both you and your horse
🧹Take your own equipment with you so you don’t have to share
🧽Clean and disinfect your transport, boots and equipment before and after the event
🤒Monitor your horse’s temperature while away and once you’ve returned. An increased temperature is often the first sign they’re unwell.
