My horse is coughing - even a simple cough is not normal!
It is often dismissed as normal and no big deal if the horse coughs one, two or more times when first started in the riding arena or riding arena. After all, many horses do this and it won't be anything dramatic. However, a regular cough, even if it is only at the beginning of a training session, is not normal. Rather, it should be seen as a sign that the horse is ill and that there is an increased risk of acute or, in the worst case, chronic respiratory disease. Acute bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes that is often caused by viruses and bacteria. This form of respiratory disease can be treated, whereas chronic bronchitis is not treatable and is usually preceded by an acute illness that was not treated or was treated incorrectly.
What is equine asthma?
Equine asthma is an umbrella term for respiratory diseases in horses. A distinction is made between Recurrent Airway Obstruction (RAO = severe equine asthma) and Inflammantory Airway Disease (IAD = mild to moderate equine asthma). Many horse owners are still familiar with the terms COPD and COB. Mild to moderate equine asthma mainly affects younger horses and is the second most common cause of performance intolerance. According to studies, 80% of all horses are affected. The severe form of equine asthma (RAO) is more common in horses older than 10 years. Coughing is a sure sign of equine asthma, even if it occurs infrequently.
