Gastric ulcers are sores that form on the stomach lining. They are common in horses, with the prevalence estimated between 50 and 90%. They can affect any horse at any age with a high prevalence found in horses in race training.
Up to 90 percent of racehorses are affected by equine gastric ulcers.
Horses in training will always be at risk from this condition, due to the environment and exercise required which are conducive to the development of ulcers.
The majority of horses with gastric ulcers do not show outward clinical signs and can appear completely healthy. Some signs can include poor performance, colic, girthiness, weight loss and behavioral changes.
The prognosis for affected horses is generally good. Treatment of ulcers is aimed at removing the predisposing factors and decreasing acid production. Where possible, horses should be allowed free-choice access to grass or hay. Providing a diet with as low a starch and sugar level as possible. Do not allow horses to be without access to food for more than 4 hours.
