Strangles in the New Forest – July 2025

A case of strangles has been confirmed in a pony from the Bartley area.

The veterinary advice that the Court always follows is to leave animals with strangles alone unless they are very sick and need veterinary intervention. Most ponies recover well and at this time of year, when most are in good condition, strangles is not usually a serious problem. The Agisters will monitor the situation closely.
