Horses, and more specifically working horses, are prone to airway diseases: they live in closed environments, inhale high amounts of particles and are exposed to increased immune challenges when travelling or competing. Environmental factors such as respirable dust, including bio-aerosol, noxious gases and unconditioned air play a determining role in triggering and maintaining recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) and inflammatory airway disease (IAD). While it is essential to treat inflammation and alleviate its functional consequences, the management of RAO and IAD cannot be limited to medical therapy: improving the horse’s direct environment is key to the long-term management of these cases. The owners’ perception of risk and implementation of solutions can be far from the veterinarian’s guidelines. As equine healthcare professionals, we play an essential role in both identifying defective environments and bringing remedying solutions.
