We think we have narrowed my geldings down to be dust triggered - (After a bad episode and a vet visit where he was given a course of ventipulmin) I started feeding NAF respirator boost. It really helped. I now only feed it if he has any little blips (like when we had the big freeze and I couldn't feed soaked hay for few weeks)

Another recommendation for the NAF respirator boost liquid here, did wonders for my old mare and not too expensive either

A friend had some success feeding local honey to her pollen-allergic horse. That does depend on your being able to find some produced very locally but worth a try!

I've used the science respriaid supplement and Lincoln cough syrup syringed which both work well, also making sure they get enough vitamin E can help with coughing and allergies.

I've used Equinutritive Breathe Rite. Seems to work, but mine wasn't coughing badly, just at the start of trot work.

Trinity consultants AH181 completely stopped mine coughing within a few weeks when he developed a pollen allergy seemingly out of the blue a few years ago. I put him on it every spring now.
