I would think you'd bring him back like anything else that's had time off...slow and easy. I know it may not be the "barrel horse way" but I'd start in a round pen free lunging or if you don't have a round just lunging him...maybe start with 10 min per night, then gradually increase up to 20-25 min...do that for a couple weeks. Then, you can make your maiden voyage and I'd go back with some light conditioning and slow work...I am going to assume that if you have any sense, you'll be able to read what your horse can take and when maybe you're pushing too hard. He'll let you know. Also, be aware that even though his ulcers are under control now, you may need to change how your treating them once you get him back going full speed.
