I went to ride my new loan horse yesterday on my own for the first time, when I got there he has a slightly snotty nose on one side, he's got COPD so could it be related to that?

He was fine to ride and wasn't coughing more than usual, he didn't seem out of sorts and was wondering round with his ears perked up.

Just wanted to double check that this was nothing to worry about! (Worried new mum here!)
 
I would say that slightly snotty and a little cough during the ride was the norm, for any horse that is stabled at this time of year with mild COPD. :) Dont worry as you get to know them and bond more you will know what is the norm and what is worrying. Have we had an introduction to your new horsey friend...? :D
