Success stories

[Missidi]

I'm in need of some success stories...

Horse is NQR and probably hasn't been for the best part of the year if I'm honest. I've put it down to saddle, yard moves, stress, saddle again, ulcers and now I'm in a position where the ulcers have reoccured, probably some kind of hind limb lameness/possibly bilateral going on.

Vet is coming next week, but in the meantime I need some positive stories to keep me going. Has anyone got any ideas of something fixable that could be causing enough pain for the ulcers to have reoccured in a very short time frame? He is very stoic as a rule anbd I can't stop jumping to worst case scenarios.

I have no similar experience to share I'm afraid, but replying to bump the thread in case someone else can offer some words of wisdom.

Baggs my 20 year old is prone to ulcers, so I have to be careful what I do with him etc - I have him on an ulcer friendly diet of grass chaff, soaked grass pellets, boswellia, spirulina and msm.

With him his ulcers were due to undiagnosed arthritis in his hocks and stifles - got that under control and he's been right as rain ever since. I had a feeling that something wasn't quite right with him when schooling him, had the vet out for a full check up and work up, and found the arthritis. I don't school him much if ever as it doesn't help him, but we do lots of hacking, which includes hill work of varying degrees and he's been fine ever since x
