Stomach ulcers affect over 60% of performance horses, and over 90% of racehorses - do you know what your horse’s stomach looks like?

Common signs of gastric ulcers include:
- Poor Appetite
- Weight-loss or difficulty maintaining weight
- Changes in behaviour
- Girthiness or sensitivity
- Poor performance or reluctance to work

If you’re concerned, gastroscopy can provide answers.

🐎 🐴 It’s that time again!
The breeding season is just around the corner, and we will once again be offering the full suite of reproduction services
- frozen and chilled AI, embryo transfer, stallion collection and freezing, mare and foal medical care. 🍼
The season seems to come around quicker every year! So while we prepare for what we hope is a big season, off season discounts on geldings and dentistry will be coming to an end at the end of July
- get in quick to secure a booking.

I feel a bit like a broken record saying this, but we are once again seeing a lot of horses with colic, many through overheating from having rugs left on!
Just because it’s a bit cool at night does not mean that horses need rugs left on all day.
If you are unable to remove rugs every day, it is always best to just leave them off altogether.
I have never seen a horse freeze to death, but I see them overheat and suffer injuries from rugs every week.

Our next Randlab gastroscopy day will be on the 28th of July. The only way to know for sure if your horse has ulcers is to take a look, so book now so you can stop wondering! Randlab
