    New to (potential) ulcers - stop hard feed until scoped?

    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...

    New to (potential) ulcers - stop hard feed until scoped?

    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...

    Protexin acid ease - calming effect?

    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)

    Protexin acid ease - calming effect?

    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

    Gundog people

    Think I mentioned it in my Purdey thread a week or so ago rather than here - we’ve been beating (without dog) on a small local shoot this season and they persuaded us to finally bring Purdey along for the last day. I’m absolutely blown away. She LOVED it so much and seeing her light up and all...

    Christmas presents

    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...

    A little hello…..

    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! 😉
