Up to 80% of racehorses suffer from mild to moderate equine asthma. After a brief review of the causes, signs and diagnosis of equine asthma, we will focus on treatment strategies. Practical environmental modifications will be reinforced as well as discussion of current drug treatment options. Finally, we will debut an innovative new product on the market specifically designed for severe equine asthma.

The webinar will stream to the Retired Racehorse Project’s Facebook page and will also be accessible via Zoom. Instructions for accessing the webinar via Zoom are below:. If you’re unable to join the webinar live, the session will be recorded and available to watch later via Facebook and Youtube.
