Grass allergy makes Pandora’s life hell

The Mail has recently published a story which, if you love horses will make you cry.  Poor Pandora, has to be covered head to hoof in jumpers and leggings, because she’s allergic to grass.
It’s the most incredible thing, even a single blade of grass touching her coat will have her gasping for air and covered in large painful boils.

The only way she can run around freely, or at least without fearing death, is by wearing protective clothing and being fed a special mixture of sugarbeet chaff and soya oil, along with 15 anti-histamine tablets a day.

Her owners paid £185 for her rug which was imported from a specialist firm in Sweden and her mask cost £50.

However her owners seem to be missing a trick.  What they should have done is installed some stable runners all around the place.  That way there would be fear of making contact with grass and from a fashion point of view, Pandora wouldn’t be the before-prince charming Cinderella of the horse world.
