If he is down South like in TX, pasture is likely what triggers it. For those horses who have equine asthma/ summer pasture assoc RAO/RAO/COPD (no longer called COPD) dry lotting and steroids is the only thing that helps honestly. I'd also consider adding albuterol to the regimen. Northern part of the country is the opposite problem, but same symptoms. South Alabama

Unless you have no other choice. To help keep his weight down. Have you looked into a grazing muzzle? That's the only way I can turn my Paso Fino out on pasture at all.

I'd make sure hes on a dust free feed, bluebonnets sr therapy is dust free and an excellent feed. They make a hay steamer as well. I feel for you and him because horses are expensive as it is, but when you have a high maintenance one with health issues it can get crazy expensive! We talked to one of the vets about a nebulizer but he said from what he’s seen, with the high humidity that we have, he thinks their doing more harm than good. He said he’d seen too many that had developed a lung infection. He said he wasn’t 100% positive why but it seemed something about the south east and nebulizers just didn’t seem to work good. He said all he can figure is the moister from the humidity plus the moisture from the nebulizer was just too much on the lungs. We’re very limited on what feeds we can get around here. He is not on a dust free food but very rarely does t seem dusty but if it does I wet it down good. My vet said there is not a medicine made for inhaling for horses. I’m searching for answers too.

I agree with those on stalls... have you checked into allergies with him? A friend of mines horse was struggling really bad, multiple thoughts of putting her down after COPD diagnosis and she had her allergy tested and has had incredible results from the serum injections. We haven’t had them tested but are starting him on Tri-Hyst just as soon as the vet can get some in. I would have him tested.... so you have some answers... it could help just by cutting a few things out for him, to help him breath... I have a friend that had a horse what was allergic to shavings... some alfalfa, you never know, but at this point, I would try that before anything...
