The owners of two equine grass sickness (EGS) survivors have launched an awareness week in the hope of “giving something back” and helping other owners. Basingstoke-based Sarah Hatter and Rhiannon Boyle from Essex will launch the first EGS Awareness Week from 29 March to 4 April. The week will provide facts, scientific information and advice about the disease with input from veterinary experts, feed companies and other owners of grass sickness survivors. Sarah told H&H she and Rhiannon became friends after discovering each other on Instagram when their horses were going through chronic grass sickness at the same time in summer 2019.
