Re: [RC] [Consider This] Simple Biosecurity Techniques Help Protect Horses from Diseas... - rides2far>>>When at show ground or events, attendees should avoid taking
their horses to common water or feed areas and sharing water buckets,
I know it *has* happened...but I can't help but think people are less
likely to bring a horse they know may be getting over something or coming
down with something to an endurance ride than they would a show. I think it also
helps that we don't use barns where they're sniffing each other through the
bars.
I went to a very few shows & group trail rides when I
was a kid and at one my horses caught a nasty bug that had me giving antibiotic
shots to everybody in my barn. In 21 years of endurance riding I've never had
that happen.
