hi all, looking for a feed suitable for ulcers but low calorie and energy. My mare is coming onto her last 10 days of ulcer treatment, was scoped at day 28 to see clear of any ulcers so is now on a low dose of both omeprazole and sucrafate. Looking for a suitable diet for after her treatment finishes. Shes fed ad lib hay from a haygrazer play and a low hanging haylage net but need a very basic bucket feed so it can include any vits and mins she may need as well as making it so she doesnt boot the door down when everyone else gets fed. Won't eat topchop zero or any plain oat chaffs so looking for any type of feed suitable just to provide vits and mins as well as keep her busy. Will only be a very small feed

I feed Pure Feeds Fibre Balance to my ulcer prone good doer mare. In fact, I feed it to the whole herd, which also includes a laminitic pony, a veteran horse and a cushings pony, and they are all thriving on it. Not a scrap left in any feed buckets, ever!

It's high fibre, low cal, low starch, no molasses, no alfa, balanced mins/vits, added pre/probiotics (protexin) and in a handy ready-mixed feed, and you don't need to feed very much to get a full daily dose. Highly recommended.

Another vote for Pure Feeds. Fibre Balance for when there is plenty of grass and I change them to Easy or Working in the Autumn/Winter depending on their level of work and body condition.

My good doer ulcer pony is fed Saracen Essential Balancer, Dengie Hi-Fi Lite and then has NAF GastrAid supplement and has been ulcer free in two years, looks amazing and is a really nice weight :)

My mare has been on pink mash and D+H performance balancer with a full scoop of Alfa a before a ride since her treatment and is looking and feeling great.
