Promote the pledge to your horsey network...

Tackling strangles is a team effort - the more people who use their pledge to improve biosecurity, the fewer places strangles will have to hide.

Share your story

Tell us how taking the pledge has benefited you; make your voice heard and show others how it can help protect their business and clients by sending in your testimonials and experiences. In return, we’ll be making sure to keep you updated with new developments in strangles research and biosecurity.

To ensure the Stamp Out Strangles pledge is helping make a difference, we will also be contacting a random sample of pledgers each year to carry out a short survey with those who are happy to take part.

Livery yard managers

No horse is allowed to enter our yard or paddocks now without having undertaken the strangles blood test. We are also a ‘pledged yard’ with Redwings to stamp out strangles, their site is a fantastic source of information.
