These four products are designed to aid the disinfecting and cleanliness of equine establishments with the ever present threat of strangles in mind. Where a new equine is to join a yard, wherever possible it should be isolated for 2 – 3 weeks with only one person seeing to it who does not go near any of the other horses. The use of separate grooming kit, buckets, hay nets and tack should be rigorously enforced. Only when a clean bill of health is pronounced by your vet should it be allowed to joint the others. However, where this is not possible the whole yard must be subject to a thorough disinfecting  routine on a daily basis, the new horse must still have all it’s own gear which must be cleaned with disinfectant – including tack - and have as little contact as possible with other horses.Should an outbreak of strangles occur your vet will advise on the measures to take, but they will inevitably include all the above, the patient being treated as a new arrival as above. All the other horses will need their stables and every bit of kit and tack cleaned with disinfectant daily. No sharing of kit or tack must be permitted and if more than one horse is being done by one person then the use of some sort of ‘surgical type’ clothing used and changed between horses together
with thorough hand scrubbing is necessary. See Equine Diseases - Equine Strangles
