An overall median incidence rate for EGS of 2.1 EGS incidents\/100 horses\/premises\/year was recorded. There was an increased rate of recurrence with higher numbers of horses, presence of younger animals, stud farms and livery\/riding establishments, loam and sand soils, rearing of domestic birds and mechanical droppings removal. The rate of recurrence decreased with chalk soil, cograzing ruminants, grass cutting on pastures and removal of droppings by hand.
