Horses With Allergies

What allergies can and do horses suffer from? So many of the things that we suffer from seem that they would just be the end of a horse if they did, so are they a different breed of allergies, so to speak?

One would think they have the same similar to humans, things like pollen and the such. I know right now mine are going crazy with the springtime and mowing of yards.

Allergies don't seem to be that common amongst animals but they do happen. I didn't know horses could be allergic to certain types of hay but they can according to a story I read recently. I think I posted about it here - about someone's hay getting stolen? The lady had to buy special hay for her horse who was allergic to the local hays.

Yes I read the same article and found it to be a most bizarre thought. I wonder what it is that makes us so prone to allergies and animals are not.
