We feed our two horses 4 times a day, plus turn out 24/7. The last feeding is at night around 11pm. They have an easy life. But the younger one is easily stressed while training, so I’ll pay even more attention to relaxation. Thanks.
Thank you Caroline perfect timing!! Just was sensing my horse Duke was having an Ulcer issue. Was also feeling perhaps it was from when he was showing before I owned him. Even though its been awhile it feels like they can get stressed even from the past memory of it. Thank you again I always learn so much from you!! Lots of love to you dear friend
Hi Rahansia! Yes, you are correct. Until the ulcer is healed, and most can't heal, they can be easily aggravated by triggers, stress, etc. Sending love and light to you always my friend!
I know im randomly asking but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
Thank you SO much for this video! I highly suspect my 3 year old filly has ulcers, have had a vet out and she is on 'Ulcer Clear' while I research holistic options. I have opinions on weaning too early, and suspect she was weaned early so it's great to hear your insights in this also. The understanding of how they come about is so important.
My question is, I’ve had this horse for going on two years, and he has always been extremely grumpy, to horses and people, his previous owner told me that’s how he’s always been but the owners before that disagree. Now he’s an Appaloosa and I feel like lots of symptoms in Appaloosas get brushed off as breed standards as they’re known for being temperamental. In the first 6 months I had him his saddle was fitted, his teeth were done his body was checked by multiple different specialists, I gave him a ulcer treatment on the off chance, he’s on a grain free diet, on grass 24/7 with other horses, hay and hard feed daily… is it worth me getting in scoped? Even after I’ve already attempted to give him 2 ulcer treatments at different times? I mean I don’t wanna waste my money as I feel like I have tried everything already but I also don’t want him to be uncomfortable if there is something behind this behaviour. Can stubborn ulcers stay around even after treatments?
Hi Vita, Welcome! Great question and Caroline can and will help you. Please email her at Caroline@taoofhorsemanship.com to discuss your concerns. Thank You Sabrina
I wanted to see how you feel about cribbing horses, do you believe it's hereditary or a learned bad behavior and do you think ulcers could be a correlation between cribbing and ulcers? Thank you for your thoughts.
Hi Nicole and Welcome! Cribbing is not hereditary. It is a learned behavior. Horses can learn to crib by watching other horses and they learb to crib because of stress. When it comes to ulcers, they are created by stress, therefore they can learn to crib to help soothe themselves.
I got my horse +- 2 years ago l and shortly after one of our 3 horses were put down and a few months later our other horse died of something. The horse that is still alive i assumed was sad idk if horses can get depressed but if they can she probably was bc she kept looking at the spot my horse died (still does to this day and it was like a year ago) but she grazes 24/7 she has a stall but we dont close her in it, ever so she can choose wherr she wants to go. But i feel bad because now its only her and no other horses also i dont feed her other types of food like hay or anything like that. But i wantto start working this year so i can pay for nice food and training for her (she was wild when she got here and I've been trying to gain her trust for a long time now and ive also sat on her a few times. She bucked me off lol) so yea idk if she has ulcers but i learned a lot from this video. Thanks.
A lot of the hourses in our school barn get irritated while grooming or tacking. They do have night tunout time, but they also do get grains in the a.m. I always thought the behavior was because of lack of training, but now I'm thinking it might be that most of them have ulcer... 😔😔😔😔
Do you think that it is okay to feed twice a day when they are in a winter field and there is grass? They are grazing all the time even if the grass is quite short. I live in the South of Sweden, no snow here in winter. Or if it comes its usually gone quite quick, max one day, and well they scratch through it and keep eating. In fact the sugar content in the grass raises when there us frost (an example how perfect God is). So they eat early morning and late evening. They sleep inside and are outside all day. Then they also get a bit to eat around lunch but only if they were being trained. I am thinking of getting a timer on a gate and open to another padock and leave hay there. But unsure if it is needed. Thanks
Gastroguard and Ulcerguard are the same medication, omeprazole. Ulcerguard just has a lower dosage. Another useful drug for ulcers in the glandular region of the stomach and the hindgut is sucralfate. Omeprazole is supposed to be most effective for ulcers the upper part of the stomach known as the squamous region. That's the extent of my knowledge, lol.

Hi Sarah and Welcome! You're so welcome, glad I could help!
Wonderful thank you! Can’t wait to listen to the whole thing!
Slippery elm works really well as a healing and preventative. ..about tsp with a cup of whole oats. Also helps humans with ulcerative colitis.
i like this suggestion slippery elm has worked wonders for my old dog who was diagnosed with pancreatitis
@@wendybell9007 like curing him completely?
