We have been made aware that Cheshire Riding School have a confirmed case of Strangles and whilst we are consulting with our vets on best practice we will be locking down our yard for the next 24 hours until we have a clearer understanding of the impact this may have on us given our close proximity to Cheshire Riding School.
Please do not enter our yard unless you are livery client.
We will of course update on our status as soon as we have a clear understanding of the protocols and measures we need to put into place to ensure that our horses are safe.
WE DO NOT HAVE STRANGLES ON OUR YARD - WE ARE TAKING THESE MEASURES TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR HORSES.
Please contact me on 07850327587 if you would like to discuss.
We wish all the horses, clients and staff at CRS our best and hope that they see a speedy resolve to this!
Dear clients, visitors, and neighboring equestrians, we are writing to inform you that we currently have a confirmed case of strangles on our livery yard. The affected horse is in strict isolation and being managed under veterinary guidance. We are sharing this information promptly to ensure absolute transparency.
Our traffic light biosecurity system is now in place:
🟢 RIDING SCHOOL OPEN: Our riding school horses remain healthy, are separate from the affected horse will continue to be monitored. Riding school clients and visitors must stay within the designated Green Zone: riding school stables, main yard and arenas.
🔴 RESTRICTED ACCESS: The livery yard and isolation areas are strictly off limits to riding school clients and public visitors. The affected horse is in a separate Red Zone with dedicated handling procedures.
Under veterinary advice, no horses may move on or off the yard, including for hacking, transport or external arena hire, until further notice.
All clients and visitors must:
- Use the yellow foot dip trays on arrival and departure.
- Use the hand sanitiser provided in reception, the tack room and toilet after touching horses.
- Only touch the horse you are allocated to ride on that day.
We will share updates as the situation changes. Thank you for your cooperation and support. For questions about lessons or yard protocols, please contact reception.
