If you witness your horse coughing repeatedly in her pasture you can record what is happening with a camera or phone and send it to your equine vet. The vet can then come out and examine the horse and determine what is causing it. Likely it is mold or pollen, but it could be other issues and the way you keep or manage your horse will have to be changed.
