It’s important to be aware of actions you should be taking to assist your horse both during the recovery phase and into the future – there’s no single cause of uclers, and there’s no single solution in isolation.

• Stress - can be a contributing factor to ulcers in horses. To limit the risk of your horse developing gastric ulcers, try to avoid stressful environments when possible or contact your vet to discuss preventative treatment options during transportation or competitions, or in any situation where stress is unavoidable.

• Diet - for horses which are high in sugar and starch (such as high-grain diets) may present an increased risk of ulcer development. As starches are more quickly fermented than forages, they can be known to create an even more acidic stomach environment.It has been recommended that Lucerne/Alfalfa hay should be offered, as it is high in protein and calcium which help to provide strong gastric acid buffering. Additionally, providing a variety of different forages may increase the amount of feed a horse will consume, therefore potentially reducing the risk of ulcers.

• Social - horses and that having physical and visual contact with other horses can reduce the chances of them developing ulcers. Therefore, stall arrangements for horses should be done in such a way that they are able to socialize and interact with each other. Whenever possible, the same horse ! It is recommended to maximize turnout time for the horse's forage requirements, movement, socialization and overall well-being.

• NSAIDs -avoid high doses or extended use of NSAIDs (ie. bute)

• Intense exercise - leads to an increase in ulcer risks for horses. The longer and more strenuous the horse works, the more severe the ulcers are liable to be. To help reduce the probability and intensity of ulcers, try to reduce the number of times a horse is worked each week and make sure the stomach is full of forage before work. Consider giving the horse a small meal of high-protein, calcium-rich alfalfa around 20 minutes prior to exercise. When transporting a horse, ensure forage is provided during and soon after the journey. Try a pre-emptive dose of ulcer medication before exercise, transport or any type of change.
