Sorry if this is in the wrong catagory, I wasnt sure where to post it:]
My OTTB is getting treated for ulcers, and I would like to know what I can do with his training right now and was wondering what some good trust/bonding excersizes that I can do with him right now or things I can do after...
chould I chop up some carrots since they are moist? like if I chop them up big enough so they arent mushy but small enough so the pieces wont fall through?
I cant give my horse grain because he gets really hot. Can I mix an opened capsule with a little bit of alfalfa? wouldnt openng the capsule neutralize the affect of the coating that protects it? If I open the capsule should I mix in some baking soda? He is like 16.2 or 16.3 hh.
Thanks everyone:) so how does this sound, I put some baking soda and a little bit of alfalfa (he probably won't eat it if there is no alfalfa in itXD) in a bucket with an omeprazole pill? (I can get the genetic pill form at my local drug store. Again I might be completely misunderstanding...
I will try again to get them on board. My trainer (I only see her occasionally) talked to her horse chiropractor and he didn't think any thing was wrong except maybe gastric ulcers, but the chiropractor never actually saw the horse. I was thinking maybe I would call the vet and ask him how much...
My TB has ulcers I think. I have another thread about his probable ulcers. A trainer was feeling him to see if she I could find the sensitive spot, and he was tensing up and nearly arching his back when she touched him right at the top of his tail. Later that day after she left, I was brushing...

or could you give me a cost effective way to treat/prevent them? I...
I was told bya knowledgeable horse trainer that he was completely sound with no problems, but I'll probably have a vet check to be sure. I heard that you can tell a saddle fits properly if you can look down the front under the horn and see daylight out the other side. is this true?:confused:
After he raced, have no clue how long he was turned out, but his old owner used to take him to dressage lessons. hehas been off the track for a year. I have been giving him 1 flake alfalfa and 2 flaked grass hay like his owner told me to do, because he needs to gain a little bit of weight, not...
