Roy Brotherton Racehorse Trainer recounts,

" I'm amazed at the dramatic change in Cape of Storms since the HTJ Centre found the cause of his chronic coughing and treated it.

Since buying this horse at the Newmarket July Sales last year, we thought we had tried everything to cure him of his cough which we thought at the time was just a temporary reaction to being bedded on straw there. But it only got worse.

He had courses of,Ventipulmin antibiotics, (because he got a bad lung infection from it), and even, a Ventolin inhaler, over a four month period but he only slightly improved .

When the HTJ Centre Ltd came to give my horses a general health check, I put him on the list but didn't mention any problem with him, so was surprised when they found the cause of his coughing straight away and then asked if he had breathing difficulties.

I had kept thinking it was an, allergy problem, and they had found it, a severe allergic reaction to one particular mould.

Treatment was simple too, his own specific, allergy neutralising drops.

He hasn't coughed at all since he started on them and I'd taken him off his other treatment straight away.

Not only have I been able to train and run him normally but he is a completely different horse to ride now as well. He used to buzz up the gallops pulling very hard, now he relaxes and settles.

I'm just so pleased I put him in the group to check that day."

Update - A month later he ran his best race of the season finishing second beaten 3/4 length at Wolverhampton and has since become a multiple winner.
