Horse that has had ulcers - feeding carrots?

[humblepie]

As above, yes or no? Have read that carrots are low in starch and understand horse that has had ulcers should have low starch diet.

So are carrots - say 5 or 6 a day - bad for a horse that has had ulcers?

Thanks.

Carrots I believe have a lot of sugar in them, I personally don't give my ulcery boy any high sugar fruit/veg

I wouldn't give any horse 5 or 6 carrots a day, ulcers or not! Like Hedwards has already said they are very high in sugar, my lot get one a day in with their feeds, but no more
