Horses, like humans get ill, but unlike humans horses do not need to lie on the settee and be brought Lemsip and tissues with balm by their mum; in fact they need quite the opposite. A horse can get a common cold but one of the biggest mistakes that owners carry out is to wrap the animal in cotton wool, so to speak. Time after time we hear of owners shutting the horse in their stable, covered in blankets, with all the doors shut and the fans switched off, horses are not as soft as humans, they are naturally insulated and they need fresh air. During the winter when it is cold and even snowing it is very easy to shut your horse away but this will only aggravate their condition and in turn cause problems for the horses respiratory system, imagine having a bad chest and being placed in a stable with no fresh air and increasing ammonia levels, dust and sometimes mould, your lungs are going to suffer. Horse respiratory care need not be a massive chore, indeed only minor changes need implementing to ensure that your animal stays healthy throughout the winter months.Equimins have a complete range of supplements that can aid the performance of your horses' lungs and combined with the everyday things you do form a complete horse respiratory care system.
