No Strangles at Longwood Equestrian Centre

'Horse and Hound' reports that Longwood Equestrian Centre has discounted rumours that strangles, the equine disease, is at their premises.

A Longwood EC spokesman stated: "We definitely do not have strangles. We have one Vet on site and no cases have been reported to him."

The spokesman acknowledged that there have been cases in the area, which probably led to rumours, but positively asserted that there have been no cases at the Centre.
