Biosecurity Series

In the Barn - #3 Keep Hands, Clothes, & Boots Clean

Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, and use a single-use towel to dry them.

Have several alcohol-based hand sanitizes available.

Watch where you're touching your horse - eyes, nose and mouth are where germs want to be, so don't give them a hand!

Designated boots for the barn is best - remember, they still need to be cleaned regularly.

Spread the Word not the Germs
