THE GUT FIX…

I believe separation anxiety and tying anxiety can be exacerbated by acid splash when a horse starts pacing, which creates a vicious cycle.

Acid splash can be addressed by providing a ‘fiber mat’ of roughage, which acts as a barrier.

The issue is, many horses will be reluctant to eat hay if the gut is already irritated. That’s why some horses with ulcers will ‘dunk’ their hay before eating it.

I’ve found a physical buffer of watery mash to be very helpful, as it seems to allow the horse to eat hay without discomfort.

I have done this with DOZENS of horses who have a combination of ulcers and severe separation or tying anxiety.

Interrupts the behavior cycle and heals the gut every time, giving us a baseline to train from.
