So there they might catch something.
This Icelandic was sent to California, was shipped across the US by truck after arrival, they do pick things up on the truck, especially because they have no immunity. "The people" tried to convince me that my horse had gotten staph from drinking in the park, the vet said no, highly unlikely. So it was either the horse, or a dirty stable, and I think it was the pony. The pony wasn't feeling 100%. In the situation, I didn't really have a choice. Once my pony came down with staph, I had to wait about a month to move him to a new stable, because he was infected. Kim
