🐴 STOMACH ULCERS IN HORSES: What You Need to Know
🧪 1. How Do Ulcers Occur?
Horses naturally produce stomach acid 24/7. In the wild, they're meant to graze constantly, which buffers this acid. But in domestic life—especially for performance horses—this balance is often disrupted.

🐴 How Common Are Stomach Ulcers in Horses?
Equine gastric ulcers are extremely prevalent, particularly in horses under stress or in work.
📊 Prevalence estimates:
🏇 Racehorses (in training): 80–100%
🐎 Performance horses (eventers, dressage, showjumpers, endurance, etc.): 60–90%
🚛 Transported horses: Around 70%
🐴 Foals: 25–50%, especially those that are sick or hospitalized
Even pasture-kept pleasure horses can get ulcers if there are periods of fasting, stress, or inconsistent feeding.

Common causes:
⏱️ Infrequent feeding or long gaps without forage
🏇 Intense training or travel stress
🐎 High-grain, low-forage diets
😖 Use of NSAIDs (like Bute)
🏠 Stable confinement without turnout

This leads to acid splashing and damaging the unprotected upper stomach lining, resulting in Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS).

🔍 2. How to Identify Ulcers
Ulcers can be very subtle—but the body gives us clues.
Warning signs:
🐴 Girthiness or resistance to grooming
🍽️ Poor appetite or picky eating
🪞 Weight loss or poor coat condition
💢 Cranky, sour, or spooky behavior changes
🐌 Lethargy or reluctance to move forward
💩 Loose manure or mild colic symptoms
👉 Definitive diagnosis: Through gastroscopy (a vet scopes the stomach to confirm ulcers).

💊 3. How to Treat Ulcers
✅ Veterinary Treatment
Omeprazole (e.g. Gastrogard or Ulcergard): Reduces stomach acid so ulcers can heal.
Sucralfate: Coats ulcers and aids healing (often used for glandular ulcers).
✅ Management Adjustments
🥕 Feed small meals frequently—always allow access to hay or pasture.
🐄 Use slow feeders to mimic natural grazing.
🚫 Minimize grain and high-starch feeds.
🧘 Reduce stress—travel, stable time, or intense schedules
🐾 Allow more turnout and natural movement.

🧊 When Do Horses Feel Cold? 🐴❄️

You might be rugged up in a hoodie by 15°C, but your horse is built a little tougher! 💪 So when do they actually start to feel the chill?

🌡️ Below 5°C (41°F) is when most horses begin to feel cold and start using extra energy to stay warm — especially if:

🔹 They’re clipped
🔹 Underweight or older
🔹 Wet from rain
🔹 Exposed to wind without shelter

💧 Cold + Wet = Big Chill! Even mild temps can feel icy if they’re soaked or unprotected.

💡 Tip: Not every horse needs a rug! But knowing your horse’s needs — and watching the weather — is the key to keeping them cozy.
