This is one of the most common types of allergy. But it usually is not the hair of the horse but the dander (skin cells). If your allergy symptoms are mild you may be able to enjoy your horse with little discomfort. Others may have to have weekly injections or may have to avoid horses altogether. (Oh no!)
My daughter used to go horse riding when she was 5 yrs old, then suddenly when she was 8, she went again and had developed an allergy. We weren't sure if it was the horses or the hay, but once again, after grooming a horse recently, she started itching, her nose started running. After about 5 mins, she had developed a mass of hives all around the back of her neck, and all over her face, causing her eyes to puff up and nearly shut. She itches like crazy and her eyes and nose run. It is not pleasant for her, but she has no other allergys, doesn't have hay fever or Asthma, so for her it just means staying away!!!
