Our 3 horses don't leave our 72 acre private facility. If they did, we'd vaccinate.

Every spring for the 'herd' and if they are shown they also get a booster before the fall show.

Several Strangles cases in my area!

I do not vaccinate for Strangles - Most vaccines can be worse then the disease.

We ALWAYS vaccinate. Having seen full-blown strangles, I don't want to see it again.

Vaccinations are cheap, compared with the cost of the cure -- if a cure is even possible.
