If any volunteers, staff or clients visit other barns, please take the following steps to help prevent a Strangles outbreak here at Ivy Hill: If you are coming to Ivy Hill directly from another barn, please make sure you change your clothing and shoes. Please wash hands with antibacterial soap or shower first when possible.

Thank you for helping to prevent Ivy Hill horses from getting Strangles.

Please feel free to ask questions or for more information.

Thank you,
Megan
