The winter months present a huge challenge to the horse's lungs. Stabling horses makes it difficult to avoid contact with airbourne irritants, such as dust and fungal spores often abundant in hay, bedding and riding surfaces. Some horses are highly reactive to these irritants which upon inhalation can irritate the delicate lung tissue creating a cough reflex in the first instance. This may then develop into something more serious, often leading to respiratory distress that can inhibit performance in affected horses. It must also be remembered that in the spring and summer months similar symptoms can be brought on by high pollen counts. Traditionally, nutritional support of the horse's lungs has been provided by Garlic. One of the most well known herbs, garlic has been used since medieval times as an excellent natural expectorant. In addition it is said to have natural "antiseptic" and "antibiotic" properties, offering valuable support to the body's system.
