I know the feed isn’t the cause of the ulcers but was wondering if it’s exacerbating the discomfort like you’ve explained with the anticipation.
He has ad lib hay when in and I have always made sure he’s not given his tea on an empty stomach/without having hay first as he is the type that will...
Thank you @LEC. Do you mean more how much grass and fibre he is getting or the change due to the move? Sorry if I’m missing an obvious point
Also edited to add in my original post - didn’t mention before as wasn’t sure it was relevant but since reading around the subject I’ve seen it mentioned...
Please excuse my current lack of knowledge surrounding ulcers - have been lucky enough to so far not have to deal with them.
Very quick background. 19 year old gelding, owned for 15 years. We relocated for husbands job in the summer so an unavoidable yard move. Allrounder but mostly a happy...
Thanks @mini-eventer. Im hopeful that’s the reason, just with our luck at the moment I almost darent think that positively!
(Edited to add just in case, this is under vets advice. Just didn’t want to bother them with potentially silly questions)
Has anyone else noticed a calming - almost very mild sedative like effect with protexin acid ease? Not used this before and 4 days in to the loading dose (50g scoop 2x per day). Unsure if this is normal and can’t find much online

I’m absolutely blown away. She LOVED it so much and seeing her light up and all...
In her winter woolies but booked in for another strip soon! She’ll be 2 in May. Hoping to get her to her first actual shoot day this weekend - nervous but excited! It’s a very small local shoot that we have been beating on this season (not with the dog so far) and everyone is so lovely. Just for...
Last year we bought Purdey an angry parsnip toy wearing a santa hat - she was terrified of it 🤣
Her absolute favourite is a yellow rubber type ball that one of my work colleagues bought for her last Christmas from Aldi - I was convinced she would destroy it in 10 seconds flat but its survived...
Not quite sure how but our girl is 18 months old already!
A bit worried about the noisy fireworks but being big and brave with her emotional support blanket 🤣
We have both said that in a few years (not yet) we would love to have another. The problem is she’s been so so good that we’re terrified the next one will be an absolute horror in comparison 🤣
Would love to think it’s purely down to our remarkable training but we definitely got lucky with her! 😉
