Description
A gentle exercise test on a treadmill might help sort horses with asthma from healthy ones without invasive sampling, and a field study tested that hope. Lia Meiseberg and co-authors ran the study in this 2026 paper. Twenty-six privately owned leisure horses of mixed breeds took part.
Eight horses were healthy, and the rest had mild, moderate, or severe asthma judged by history, exam, and lung wash results. All took the submaximal exercise test, and its measures were compared across the groups. Leisure horses are rarely tested like racehorses, so a simple field tool has real value for everyday vets. The study checks whether test variables separate the severity bands cleanly enough to guide treatment.
