Can anyone recommend a good supplement to help with my horse's cough. She needs to be on one all year round as she does suffer from respiration problems. Thanks
Best supplement for coughs ???

Winergy Ventilate or Feedmark's Clarity are pretty good.

Hilton Herbs Respiratory is good..... me oldie gets this, he had slight COPD and has in the past needed Ventopulmin, but hasn't needed it since being on this...good luck!

I've found that garlic and Dodson and Horrells Breath Easy is great for my cob, she really suffers in the summer. Also soaking her hay and putting her on shavings really helps, but i expect you're already doing this.

My boy started coughing again recently, when he comes out of his stable in the morning. So this week I have started to feed all his hay from the floor and using a big water tub to put some of it in...he gets through more but touch wood...he has only coughed once each morning over the last two days, so hoping to clear it all together.
I am going to order Feedmarks Clarity when I next order my Benevit from them...I love their products and have found them very beneficial for my horse who is on a roughage only diet of grass and hay.

I recommend Ventilate by winergy all the way!
Bert was on ventapulmin at £50 a tub, and a tub every 10 days, pretty much indefinately, put him on winergy and have not had to call the vet since, touch wood

Feel Good 30 Herbal Breathing liquid without a doubt, it's fab. Recommended to loads of my friends and they've ALL had great results. Being liquid they inhale the vapour as well which helps!!

Ahhh yeah but I suspect not, I suspect its sold as a feed additive isn't it???
I was actually heading in the direction of "but horses are obligate nasal breathers so...". A while back there was a thread about a similar sounding product called "Equivent Plus" - stick it in the feed soothing aroma drifts aound the air passages etc...
YEAH RIGHT, HOW?
As far as I can see there are only two options, either the manufacturer *does know* horses are nasal breathers in which case one might argue they are guilty of deception in their description of what the product does OR they don't know horses are nasal breathers in which case one might argue they are guilty of incompetence. And that's even before you get onto the possibility of curing lower airway disease using natural pine oils.
I think your answer is revolutionary, it has attitude, is environmentally friendly, cheap, convenient and of course totally correct in every way BUT I don't think it will sell. Perhaps if it was called Equi-air and came in bottles for £20 and a sheaf of testimonials from people who had used it to cure poll evil, grass sickness and death ?
