up at my barn there is a border that has breast cancer. she gets chemo every 3 weeks. very sweet women. it is very important she stays healthy. there is another border that gave her horse strangles...which is a live vaccenie. there was no reason for this person to give her horse this. it would be very bad if this person breathed in that. do u think it was rude for the women to do this?

Take the second person apart and tell her that chemotherapy really affects someone's immune system, and to please be more careful with live vaccines and any such things in consideration of the woman with cancer. It's probably ignorance.

No one should treat another's pet (horses are pets these days, you know) without their permission. Whether or not it is dangerous to the owner, it should not have been done.
The owner needs to check with the veterinarian who normally cares for her horse, and with her own doctor, and get a sense of how dangerous it might be for her.
