| I purchased a 2yo filly and will be sending her out for 30 days to be broke. I have been doing ground work with her and such, she is doing very well. She is very smart and catches onto things very quickly. She is very curious about everything and always has to stop and look at anything new. My concern is ulcers from the stress of training and being in yet another new place for a month or so. I do not like loading up on supplements but I want to do what I can to keep her healthy and on the right track. She is currently getting unlimited grass hay, pasture, and sentinel senior with junior glow. Does anyone put their youngsters on anything during training? |

I do not feel it is a big concern. I know others disagree. We have a lot of training horses come through and with a good feed and training program (forage based), it isn't something we have ever had an issue with.

Location: WI | I give mine omeprazole/ranitidine paste anytime I haul. Day before until the day after we get home. I do the same when I send him to the trainer. I send a few tubes and tell them to give for a couple days until he settles in, then as needed.

| Thanks for the info. She seemed to have settled in rather quickly when I brought her home and leaving her mother. She doesn't seem like a nervous filly persay, but she does look and nothing new gets by her lol. She hasn't shown any signs of tummy issues but I know its better to prevent than treat so it's always in the back of my head. |

Location: Loma Linda, CA | Ive never had any issues with ulcers minus one horse when I moved to CA from AZ.
But as far as sending them to training - none. :)
I do like the ideas of rantitdine or omeprazole paste. Those would definitely help ulcers. |
