Equine Influenza Cases Are Rising in the UK – Protect Your Horse!

Recent reports show an increase in equine influenza (flu) cases across the UK, and it spreads quickly between horses. Now is the time to stay vigilant.

How to protect your horse:

💉 Keep influenza vaccinations up to date – this is your best defence. If your horse has not been vaccinated within the last 6 months you can give a booster to increase immunity to the influenza virus
🐴 Avoid mixing with horses of unknown vaccination status
☣ Isolate any new arrivals
🥣 Don’t share equipment (buckets, tack, grooming kits)
🫱 Practice good hygiene – wash hands and disinfect regularly
🤒 Monitor for signs: cough, nasal discharge, fever, lethargy

⚠️ If you suspect flu: Contact us immediately and isolate the horse to prevent spread.

Equine flu is highly contagious, but with good biosecurity and vaccination, we can limit outbreaks and keep our horses safe 💙
