With spring just round the corner and hopefully the worst of the weather behind us these sunny days certainly do plenty for boosting the mood! So pleased with how Hugo is looking at the moment. So lucky to have the best nutrition advice from 🙏

2 DAYS OFF EXERCISE/WEEK FOR ULCERS

Gastric ulcers in horses is a frustrating condition that can be challenging to treat, and may reoccur despite good diet and management.

The glandular ulcers (also described as lesions, since some aren't true ulcers) are believed to be unrelated to diet, and risk factors include stress and daily exercise.
It is recommended that horses prone to glandular disease (EGGD) are given two days off exercise per week.

Gastroenterologist Vet and Senior Lecturer in Equine Internal Medicine at the Royal Vet College Michael Hewetson gives the guideline of one day rest after every two days exercise.

(You can read more about how to feed and manage horses prone to gastric ulcers (both types, EGSD and EGGD) in the Equine Nutrition Learning Centre - link in comments)
