Story

COVID-19 has hit our fundraising activities hard, with all shows and events cancelled for the time being. We believe the cause of equine grass sickness to be multi factorial, and have two particular suspects under investigation: clostridial toxins and mycotoxins produced by fungi. Major projects to examine how these interact, and what other factors need to be present for this deadly disease to develop, are at a critical stage. We are asking horse owners to come together to help us fight back against the disease. If you can spare a little cash at this difficult time then together we can 'Pound Grass Sickness!'
