Don't let your horse drink out of community water troughs, especially on huge rides where you don't know if people have their horses vaccinated. Flu, rhino, and strangles vaccinations do not guarantee that a horse will not get those diseases, they just help lower the risk. Don't let your horse nuzzle other horses and don't love on unknown horses and come back and pet yours. Cherie
