Hi guys
Its only been 24hours since my post yesterday about my windsucking pony but i just have a quick update that maybe someone could shed some light or give me their experience.
So, i turned him out last night and he seemed much happier when i checked on him this morning.
This evening he came in to his stable to be worked on the lunge. I worked my mare first and whilst he was in stable all was fine.
Then i worked him on the lunge, he was a bit nutty (bucking and charging around) but putting that down to the time of year.
Any way after working him he went back in his stable to cool down before being fed and turned back out.
He immediately started windsucking : (
I remember reading a while back that this could be because the stomach acids have been agitated from him working and hence the windsucking.
Has anyone experienced this? Do you guys think its a sure sign of ulcers or stomach problems?
Is there anything i can do to make him more comfortable after working him? He needs to be worked as he a little chubster!
Thanks in advance
