Asthma STaR

Stables, hay and bedding fill the air with dust, and some horses' airways never stop reacting to it. It starts with a cough at the first trot and can grow into a horse that struggles for every breath.

Consider this program when:

• the horse coughs at the start of work
• the airways react to the dusty months of the year
• a veterinary-diagnosed airway condition is being managed long-term
• stamina is dropping and breathing works harder than it should

The airborne dust itself is the enemy — management of air, feed and bedding leads, and this program accompanies the airways alongside it. Laboured breathing at rest belongs to the vet.
