 using a Breather training program

All Breathers come with full instructions for a safe and effective Equine Breathing training program. 

The All Weather is the easiest Breather to use. It has the mildest effect and can be used over long periods in any weather conditions which makes it very useful in the relief of hay fever, sweet itch etc. 

The Grazing Breather is more powerful in effect so can be used in shorter sessions if required but can also be used over long periods in dry conditions.

The Equine Breather is the most effective Breather and is used in designated Breather sessions of an hour or so which is useful if you only see your horse once a day.

Successful in trials for sweet itch, hay fever, headshaking, COPD, wind sucking, separation anxiety and phobias.

Horses find it very relaxing as shown by Calico here in her first Equine Breather session. Calico usually was very sensitive about things on her head, even head, collars but found wearing the Equine Breather soothing and enjoyable. 

One of the benefits of regaining normal levels of carbon dioxide in the lungs is that more oxygen is available to the body. see How it works

Using your management regime to help your horse

More natural living conditions best supplement the horse's recovery of normal breathing and health using Equine Breathing. The following are helpful;

• full turn out with continuous grazing

• Barefoot

• Good hoof trimming

• use of horse's own coat only for good thermoregulation

• unrefined salt freely available

• natural horsemanship handling (increases trust which helps reduce breathing)

• plenty of exercise in balance with horse's inclination

On the other hand, factors in the management regime that encourage over breathing, counteract the healing effect of Equine Breathing. Its impossible to say how much of a detraction this will be. You may wish to discuss the options with your professional advisors such as your vet, but if at all possible avoid the following;

• stabling, box rest or box weaning

• Incorrect hoof management

• feeding of concentrates with gaps in between meals

• rugging and clipping

• stressful situations 

• unnecessary drugs and chemical treatments.

Clearly its better to try and avoid deterioration in your horse's breathing pattern.  Understanding the role of triggers that increase breathing helps you to do this.

Triggers for over breathing include

1. emotional and physiological stress
2. inactivity
3. over eating rich food
4. over heating
5. toxic stress
6. copying other horses or humans

If you are lucky enough to have a foal consider bringing the foal through stressful events such as weaning and travelling with 1N Equine Breathing to help keep their breathing at the normal volume. 1N may also facilitate training.
