ffs, strangles again? Can't have anything nice in this country.

My mate's horse got it last year. Absolute nightmare. Hope they sort it quick.

Been dealing with this at the stables all week. The protocols are a pain but better than shutting down racing. Keep ur horses safe people.

oh great, more excuses to hike up track fees. Classic NZTR.

James O’Brien2026-07-07T07:36:56.000Z

mate I'm with you, the track fees are a joke already

Something something biosecurity something something government failure.

Poor horses. Hope everyone pulls together and gets through this okay.

Wait is this the same thing as that glanders outbreak a few years back? Or something else entirely?

Hana Stewart2026-07-07T07:55:56.000Z

not the same as glanders, it's strep equi. But still a nightmare to clear.

literally a perfect example of why we need better surveillance systems. but nah, let's just react after the fact as usual.
