Is Your Pony Coughing?

Did you know?

Coughing could be a sign of Inflammatory Airway Disease (IAD) - which was recently found to be prevalent in 88% of horses*.


How does it show itself?

Aside from coughing symptoms can include: nasal discharges
Increased respiratory rate, increased respiratory effort, flaring of the nostrils, respiratory noise at rest or during exercise.

How can Haygain help?

Taking steps to minimise exposure to the airborne respirable dust will undoubtedly reduce the risk of IAD.


The dust in hay is a key cause of respiratory inflammation. Steaming hay with a Haygain hay steamer eliminates respirable dust particles, killing mould, bacteria, fungal spores and mite faeces.


Reducing stable dust and ammonia off-gassing is also important. Haygain's ComfortStall sealed, orthopaedic flooring reduces bedding requirements by up to 75% and being sealed and hydrophobic, and removes ammonia off-gassing caused by urine.
