As title really, after about 30 mins of exercise my mare gets a really sloshy tummy and gets quite gassy:confused: Now ive noticed that the more exercise she does the worse it gets and shes clearly uncomfortable as she hollows her back, leans on the bit and falls onto the forhand:( She can poo no problem but im starting to worry as its not getting any better. Exercise wise this happens after fast and slow work. Its worse when shes in season too.

Feed wise she gets a handfull of calmer chaff and a wee scoup of garlic and mint.
Shes out 24/7 and gets ad lib grass even tho its short and patchy.

im starting to wonder if shes suffering with ulcers

Any ideas would be greatfully recived :)
