Look for a climatecon­trolled area

-

Because the goal is to reduce the horse’s exposure to airborne irritants, moving him to an airconditi­oned space can be a good idea. Not only is the cooler, less humid air easier to breathe, but the airconditi­oning unit will filter out dust and pollen that can exacerbate the situation. Of course, most barns are not airconditi­oned, but a horse may benefit from being moved into a climatecon­trolled garage or workshop that has been cleared of hazardous objects.
