9 August 2007 - BHS issues foot and mouth biosecurity guidelines for horse owners
We have received many enquiries from horse owners who are keen to ensure that they don't inadvertently contribute to the spread of foot and mouth disease. By publishing these guidelines we hope to help horse owners to support the farming community during what is a very worrying time. Copies of the biosecurity guidelines can be requested directly from the BHS Welfare department or downloaded from the British Horse Society's website http://www.bhs.org.uk/DocFrame/DocView.asp?id=1793
6 August 2007 - Foot and Mouth Guidance
The British Horse Society welcomes steps taken by the Government to date to contain the foot and mouth disease outbreak near Guildford Surrey.
No restrictions have been placed on horse movements outside of the 3km protection zones around the affected premises. Full details of the extent of these zones can be found on the Defra website http://www.defra.gov.uk/news/latest/2007/animal-0803.htm#briefing However, horses can only be moved in or out of the 3km protection zones under licence. Within the zone horses cannot be moved from premises to premises where there are susceptible animals on the same premises, except under licence. Horse boxes and trailers cannot be moved from premises within the 3km protection zone, where susceptible animals are kept except under licence.
Mark Weston, Director of Access, Safety and Welfare said: "Whilst there are no restrictions on horse movements outside of the 3km protection zone it is important that all horse owners and riders are vigilant and do everything they can to help prevent the spread of the disease and observe the highest of bio security measures on and off their own yards." For more information, please contact: Mark Weston, BHS Director of Access, Safety and Welfare, on 01926 707760 or m.weston@bhs.org.uk .
