Freedom Horse Stalls | System Horse Stalls in black coating and bamboo wood stall​

The health of a horse is the responsibility of the horse owner. Gaining more knowledge on diseases, management practices and hazards is an important step in caring for a horse.

Biosecurity helps prevent diseases from entering and/or exiting a farm and from spreading among horses living on the farm. The reduction of financial losses from treating sick horses is one of the benefits in preventing disease, and it lessens hardships endured when losing a horse

to disease.

Biosecurity improves the horse industry by promoting healthy horses. As part of efforts to prevent the incursion of foreign animal diseases (FAD) into Canada and Saskatchewan, sound and rigorous biosecurity practices at home help prevent unwanted foreign diseases from thriving in our country and threatening our livestock.

Your veterinarian is one of the best sources of information on biosecurity and minimizing disease risks. They can help you create a practical biosecurity plan for your facility that will be tailored specifically for you.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) in partnership with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), Equine Canada and its equine sector organizations developed a national biosecurity standard for the equine sector. This national biosecurity standard contains guidelines and recommendations to benefit horse owners and custodians in protecting their horses from contagious diseases.

The standard provides guidelines and recommendations rather than prescribing what must be done on all farms and facilities. The complex and variable nature of the horse industry, regional difference, limited data and other factors prevent the development of one set of specific guidelines and recommendations that are optimal for all farms and facilities.
