With horses, which are far less susceptible to ringworm 

 than cattle, the preventive measures need not in ordinary 

 cases be carried beyond the animal and its blanket ; fre- 

 quently nothing is done beyond destroying the fungus on 

 the body. But there are multiple cases of ringworm where 

 an extensive crop of the disease exists on the body, and 

 here the suppressive measures must be very complete and 

 thorough, blanket, harness, or saddle, bedding and stable, 

 must all be thoroughly disinfected and the case isolated.
