Targeted Respiratory Support for Horses
Respiratory health is essential for every horse, regardless of age, breed or discipline. Airway irritation, inflammation, mucus build-up and respiratory conditions can all impact performance, comfort and wellbeing.
The Haygain Breather Nebuliser provides an effective way to deliver veterinarian-prescribed medications and respiratory support solutions directly to the lungs, where they are needed most.
TECHNICAL SPECS - BACKED BY SCIENCE:
Produces aerosol particles in the respirable range (≤5 μm), supporting delivery of nebulised solutions to the lower airways.
Uses vibrating mesh nebulisation to create a consistent aerosol, delivered quietly to support calm and repeatable use.
With integrated silver ion technology in the mask material to support a cleaner treatment environment.
Designed for Effective Delivery
The Haygain Breather Nebuliser generates a fine aerosol mist that carries medication and respiratory support solutions deep into the horse's airways and lungs.

What Can Be Nebulised?
The Haygain Breather Nebuliser is designed to convert compatible liquid solutions into a fine aerosol for inhalation by your horse.
These may include:

FAQs
What is the Haygain Breather?
The Haygain Breather is a portable equine nebulisation system. It converts liquid medication or isotonic saline into a fine aerosol that is inhaled directly into the respiratory tract using a purpose-designed equine mask.
What is the service life of the nebuliser parts?
The service life of the medicine cup is 90 uses, depending on what is nebulised and cleaning/care.The service life of the nebuliser battery part is up to 2 years depending on care, after which it will need replacing. The cost of the replacement part is very reasonable - roughly equal to 2 medicine cups and the part HG-0001 also comes included with an additional medicine cup.
What should be nebulised?
Only nebulised aqueous medications or isotonic saline that have been approved and prescribed by your veterinary surgeon should be used. Always follow your veterinarian's instructions regarding medication type and dosage.
How do I introduce my horse to the nebuliser?
Introduce the mask gradually:
- Place the mask gently over your horse's muzzle with the lower vent open.
- Allow your horse to breathe normally and become comfortable wearing the mask.
- Once the nostrils are enclosed and a comfortable seal is formed, allow your horse to relax.
- Close the lower vent and begin nebulisation.
- If your horse becomes anxious, reopen the vent slightly to increase airflow until they settle.
- In an emergency, the lower vent can be completely removed to restore unrestricted airflow.
Can my horse breathe normally while wearing the mask?
Yes. The lower vent should initially remain open so your horse can become accustomed to the mask before treatment begins.
Is the mask flexible?
Yes. The mask is flexible for comfort, but the nebuliser unit itself is rigid. Handlers should remain aware of their horse's head movements throughout treatment.
How long does a treatment last?
Treatment takes roughly 15 minutes, although you can stop treatment earlier if required.
How do I recharge the nebuliser?
Recharge the unit using a USB-C charger.
How do I clean the medication cup after every use?
Immediate cleaning helps protect the vibrating mesh.
- Switch the unit off.
- Add 3–6 ml of distilled water to the medication cup.
- Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to activate Cleaning Mode.
- The green light will slowly pulse during the 3-minute cleaning cycle.
- The unit will automatically switch off when complete.
How do I deep clean the medication cup?
If extra cleaning is required:
