The symptoms can be subtle at first, but they always deserve attention.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2348\" data-end=\"2383\"><strong data-start=\"2348\" data-end=\"2381\">Do you recognize these signs?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"2386\" data-end=\"2431\"><strong>Coughing:<\/strong>\u00a0especially when starting to ride<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2386\" data-end=\"2431\"><strong>Nasal discharge:<\/strong>\u00a0clear or slightly mucous-like<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2386\" data-end=\"2431\"><strong>Rapid or labored breathing:<\/strong>\u00a0even at rest<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2531\" data-end=\"2690\">If you notice one or more of these symptoms, always consult your vet first. Only a vet can determine whether it\u2019s something serious, like COPD or infection.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2692\" data-end=\"2742\">1. Soaking hay = less dust, easier breathing<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"40\" data-end=\"222\">Dust is one of the biggest triggers for respiratory issues in horses. Hay in particular can contain fine dust particles and mold spores, even if it looks perfectly fine to the eye.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"224\" data-end=\"449\">A common method to reduce this is soaking the hay. By submerging the hay in clean water for 20 to 30 minutes, the dust particles bind to the moisture. Be sure not to soak it for more than 1 hour to prevent bacterial growth.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"451\" data-end=\"739\">An alternative or addition to this is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dtails.nl\/herbimals-hooispray-1-liter.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong data-start=\"493\" data-end=\"516\">Herbimals Hay Spray<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 a ready-to-use, 100% natural spray based on essential oils such as eucalyptus, pine, thyme, and peppermint. This spray binds dust particles, supports the respiratory system, and in many cases makes soaking unnecessary.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3013\" data-end=\"3054\">2. Herbs that help ease the airways<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"40\" data-end=\"369\">Some plants and herbs have been known for centuries for their soothing effect on respiratory irritation. In nature, horses instinctively select herbs that help keep them healthy and support easier breathing \u2014 from aromatic plants to those rich in mucilage.<br data-start=\"296\" data-end=\"299\" \/>Note: herbs are not a medicine, but they can have a soothing effect.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"371\" data-end=\"448\">Here are some examples of herbs that can contribute to respiratory comfort:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"450\" data-end=\"1020\">\n<li data-start=\"450\" data-end=\"564\">\n<p data-start=\"452\" data-end=\"564\"><strong data-start=\"452\" data-end=\"480\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dtails.nl\/tijm-fijn.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thyme (Thymus vulgaris)<\/a>:<\/strong> An aromatic herb traditionally used to help loosen mucus and cleanse the airways.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"565\" data-end=\"751\">\n<p data-start=\"567\" data-end=\"751\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dtails.nl\/herbimals-smalle-weegbree.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong data-start=\"567\" data-end=\"609\">Ribwort plantain (Plantago lanceolata)<\/strong><\/a> and <strong data-start=\"614\" data-end=\"654\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dtails.nl\/herbimals-brede-weegbree-grof.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Broadleaf plantain (Plantago major)<\/a>:<\/strong> Contain natural mucilage that can soothe irritated mucous membranes in the throat and airways.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"752\" data-end=\"878\">\n<p data-start=\"754\" data-end=\"878\"><strong data-start=\"754\" data-end=\"792\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dtails.nl\/kamillebloemen.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla)<\/a>:<\/strong> Known for its mild, calming effect and often used for light inflammatory reactions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"879\" data-end=\"1020\">\n<p data-start=\"881\" data-end=\"1020\"><strong data-start=\"881\" data-end=\"924\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dtails.nl\/heemstwortel-fijn.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marshmallow root (Althaea officinalis)<\/a>:<\/strong> Rich in mucilage and traditionally used to coat the throat and airways during dry irritation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1022\" data-end=\"1199\">You can feed these herbs fresh. If they\u2019re not available fresh, you can use dried herbs. Offer them preferably via self-selection, allowing your horse to choose what it needs.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1201\" data-end=\"1588\">Feed the herbs separately and in the coarsest form possible. This preserves the natural scent and structure, which improves recognition for your horse and supports self-selection. Coarser herbs also retain their active compounds better than ground versions. Only in specific cases, such as with horses that ball up hay or have difficulty chewing, should you consider using finer herbs.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1590\" data-end=\"1696\">You can also make a tea from the herbs and, based on self-selection, offer it to your horse once cooled.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3458\" data-end=\"3491\">3. Nebulization &amp; fresh air<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3492\" data-end=\"3634\">Clean, well-ventilated air is essential for any recovery. A <strong>nebulizer<\/strong> with saline (0.9% NaCl) helps loosen mucus and moisturize the airways.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3636\" data-end=\"3728\">Ensure <strong>proper airflow in the stable<\/strong> without drafts. Avoid moldy bedding and ventilate daily.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3735\" data-end=\"3805\">4. Tailored nutrition: fiber-rich, dust-free &amp; gentle on airways<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3806\" data-end=\"3912\">What your horse eats affects its breathing. Choose low-dust, high-fiber feeds that support calm digestion.<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"3914\" data-end=\"4217\">\n<li data-start=\"3914\" data-end=\"4084\">\n<p data-start=\"3916\" data-end=\"4084\"><a href=\"https:\/\/metazoa.nl\/en\/product\/balancefit-timothee\/\"><strong data-start=\"3916\" data-end=\"3938\">BalanceFit Timothy<\/strong><\/a> is a complete balancer made from timothy grass \u2013 naturally low in sugars and dust, suitable for horses sensitive to alfalfa or coarse roughage.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"4085\" data-end=\"4217\">\n<p data-start=\"4087\" data-end=\"4217\"><a href=\"https:\/\/metazoa.nl\/en\/product\/naturalfit-haycobs\/\"><strong data-start=\"4087\" data-end=\"4109\">NaturalFit HayCobs<\/strong><\/a> are fiber-rich hay pellets that can be soaked into a dust-free mash \u2013 gentle on airways and easy to chew.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"4219\" data-end=\"4334\">Both are grain-free, low in sugar, and high in fiber.
