Good lord...I can't beleive I jumped on the check for ulcers bandwagon! No I completely understand and I have actually pondered ulcers as well. However, she's not been competitive or even pushed for that matter. To be a six year old she's very new to this and this is her first time preparing for competition. She's been a pasture pet most of her life due to my life being so hectic. With that being said, should I still consider ulcers?

I understand your post and I guess I should clarify a little more. She's been professionally broke and started but I'm just now putting her on the pattern. But regardless I think I will go ahead and treat for ulcers just to be safe. I honestly don't think it will hurt and I also plan to try the THE samples as well. Thank you for the information! Hopefully taking these precautions will settle her down. Is UlcerGard the best way to go? |

| I have used Vita-Calm. You can get it from Jeffers Equine. Very reasonably priced as well. |

| Formula 1 Noni has done wonders for our horses and I also use the AcuLife patches. If you have any questions about either product you can message me. |

I've had success with Equisure twice a week and daily the days I'm away at an event, along with 1/4 dose of Ulcergard. |

Location: Piedmont, OK | Since it is a mare you might also consider Mare-culous by Animal Element. It is amazing for hormone issues and most of the ingredients are also good for ulcer prone horses. It is a must have for all of my mares! |

Location: East Tennessee but who knows?! | Â I've found that beet pulp will make one hot - even non-molassas kind. So I keep them off beet pulp. Feed makes a big difference. Magnesium helps. I've go a hot OTTB that I put on Remission to see if it would help since it has magnesium & it does seem to help a lot. I've noticed a bit change in him. He's on oats & rolled barley, rice bran, and alfalfa, grass hay. They also make a magnesium drench that you pour on. |

| I have used several calming supplements for my 10 year old mare. She is all running bred. The best thing I have found for her is the Calming Essentials by Formula 707. I also use the Pozzi Relax through Oxy-Gen. My distributor sent a sample of the Oxy Zen and the Mare paste but I haven't used them on her because I really like the relax, even without the daily Calming Essentials. No matter how much you rode her, she was always hot and on the muscle. I am no able to calmly slow work her, but it doesn't take her spunk or fire. I tried In The Zone by Animal Element, but it didn't do anything for her.However, the ITZ will work on my younger cow bred gelding. Every horse is different. Good luck with your search! |
