With Equine Flu know to others as ARD, it seems the most common cause of ARD is several types of mould spores and weeds in hay or straw. This is a seasonal thing, so you may only see the problem popping up in the spring and the summer. Problem is, winter and fall feed come from the same source, so what happens is the horse builds up sensitivity over time and their reactions increase.

When you want to get the best treatment for ARD, figuring out what the problem is in the first place is half the battle and once you have that under control, your horse is well on his way to making a good recovery.
