Prednisolone is often recommended in veterinary medicine as an alternative to prednisone.  

Most horses exhibit clinical signs when stabled, bedded on straw, and fed hay, whereas elimination of these factors tends to result in a decrease or elimination of clinical signs.2 Two different forms of RAO are recognized in the horse: the barn-associated type seen in stalled horses that are fed hay, and summer pasture-associated obstructive pulmonary disease which is more commonly seen in horses living on pasture in the Southeastern United States.3,4
