Equine allergies represent a significant and often frustrating challenge for both veterinarians and horse owners. This talk explores the complex pathophysiology underlying allergic responses with particular emphasis on summer eczema in horses, highlighting current limitations in diagnostic approaches and how these gaps impact effective treatment strategies. Special attention is given to key contributing factors, including the immune system, the microbiome, and tissue-specific responses, offering a more integrative understanding of disease development, progression and chronic. Considering an improved understanding of equine allergies, combined with insights from state-of-the-art human allergy research, may enable the development of novel translational concepts for equine allergy treatment. Finally, new therapeutic and prophylactic approaches are discussed, with the aim of improving long-term management and enhancing the quality of life for horses affected by allergic conditions.
