Walkers in the UK are warned against touching horses during winter walks due to the spread of strangles, a highly contagious and potentially fatal respiratory disease.
Cases have surged, with over 25% more infections in 2025 compared to typical years, making it the top concern for horse owners.
The bacteria, Streptococcus equi, can be carried on clothing and footwear, allowing humans to unknowingly transmit the disease between horses.
