respiratory supplements

[parsley]

What do you all use and do you recommend them?

My horse is allergic to dust but is usually fine. At the momment he does breath more heavily than normal after cantering and he can be a bit lethargic with it. I would like to try him with a supplement for a while.

i used respireze from naf when my lad came back with a real bad cough, was excellent and i'd defo recommend it, it is quite expensive but definately worth the money! i tried a few other things first but none helped like that!!!

Airways from Equine America UK.

"Airways is used to lubricate and dilate the respiratory tract pre competition to encourage maximum intake of air during that event - whether it be cross country, racing etc."

Just syringe it in. It's been amazing so far!!!

Have tried all the supplements for sale, yes ALL, with my boy who has allergic airways syndrome.
The one i recommend is Winergy ventilate. I cannot recommend it highly enough - NONE of the others (Naf, feel good 30, wendells herbs) none of them worked even an ounce on my boy.
then i tried the winergy ventilate and it made a huge difference.

Another vote for Winergy ventilate, I use it on our ponio, he's always been prone to coughing but since being stuck in some smoke in our towing accident he was coughing like a trooper. The winergy has really helped him.
It seems one of the more popular choices in the shop as well.

definitely Winergy Ventilate is the top one for me.

I'm another winergy ventil-ate fan! think its amazing. They usually sell it a bit cheaper (£25) a tub at Burghley and Your Horse Live if you are going!!
