Horse respiratory health problems can be noticed with subtle signs that a horse is below par, such as exercise intolerance and poor performance. Herbs have been used for centuries as an aid for a healthy respiratory system, in humans and horses alike! Research has shown that certain herbs can have a positive influence on improving and enhancing your horse’s respiratory, improving their red blood cells and haemoglobin – the molecule that transports oxygen to the cells(1) including Immune system and lung clearance.
Pro-Equine has developed two supplements to encourage full capacity of horse respiratory and lung function in horses and to support a healthy immune system. Containing a powerful blend of herbs traditionally used for breathing issues, Airway is particularly recommended for horses exposed to a dusty environment or even slightly dusty forage. Pro-Breathe was developed for the competition horse to facilitate optimum lung function and performance. Both supplements conform to FEI regulations so can be used while competing.
All year round horses are exposed to environmental problems such dust, mould or pollen in the air, which can cause recurrent respiratory disorders. Airway is a powerful blend of plant extracts and oils to encourage full capacity of lung function in horses and to support a healthy immune system. Airway is particularly recommended for horses exposed to a dusty environment or those sensitive to even slightly dusty forage, pollen etc. A completely natural solution to help maintain and support the immune response of the respiratory system and to help keep the airways clear.
Pro-Breathe horse health syrup has been formulated to meet the demands of race and performance horses during intense work. Using a concentrated blend of herbal extracts, Pro-Breathe supports adrenal function and aids overall cardiovascular health and addresses various equine respiratory issues. When horses are being worked hard it is important to address performance-limiting factors, such as gaseous exchange and non-optimal lung function.
Pro-Breathe contains natural ingredients designed to help a horse’s airway and lung tissue function and to reduce stress to the respiratory system of the horse.
Both horse respiratory supplements can be fed to your horse on a regular basis or just when needed, such as during the winter months. Both can be given before, during and after competing and when a horse is recovering from illness.

The shop where I buy my equestrian goodies had run out of my usual supplement (I do use supplements as my horses are stabled every night and I prefer to try to “avoid” problems) and I bought a bottle of Airway to ‘make do’ till my usual came in. I am still using Airway 6 months later and now have 4 horses on it. As far as I am concerned the horses can work for longer before tiring and tolerate more hard work. I am never without a bottle now in the tack room. -Moyra C
