RAO was formally known as Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), it is a type I hypersensitivity which is encountered in adult horses and is a major cause of loss of performance. It is an asthma-like syndrome of the bronchioalveolar region, it is not fully understood, but is thought primarily to be a hypersensitivity response to inhaled allergens found in mouldy hay or bedding and in stable dust. The correct answer is summer pasture-associated recurrent airway obstruction (SPA-RAO), seen in horses and which is similar to the form seen when stabled, but this is seen when at summer pasture.

Extrinsic Allergic Bronchio-alveolitis is a type I hypersensitivity which arises due to repeated inhalation of spores of thermophilic actinomycetes in mouldy hay. It is a disease primarily of housed cattle in winter.
