Looks can be deceiving. My mare has beautiful coat and looks good. Her attitude was awful. I asked the vet to scope for ulcers because I just knew that was why. They said oh you don’t need to do that. She looks too good. Fast forward a month. Colic, fever, diarrhea. Hospital for a week. Finally scoped. Yes ulcers. Attitude is a big player. They don’t always have poor coat and look bad. Thanks for this video. I love you helping with caring for their health as well as training!!!!

If I was at your barn I know the stall I'd want to hang out lol what a personality on him, he's fantastic

I was very happy to see in your last video that you had a slow feeding hay net in your stall. Glad to see you use them. Horses are natural grazers and it's important for them to eat (almost) constantly. Slowing down their eating helps them do this, especially when we put them in man-made environments such as stalls and transport them to shows in trailers for long periods of time. When a horse goes for a long period of time without eating the build up of gastric juices can cause ulcers, so it's important to keep them eating. Bravo for using the slow-feeder hay nets!

Thanks for the info on smart pak having a smart pak gut. Did not know they had that. I don't show or compete anymore. Rosco has the most beautiful babydoll head ❤️

Thanks for the tip! What a cute baby 😊💕

Great tip!!!

Awesome Roscoe. Great tips for us and our animal.

Great advice and a beautiful horse!

Love Smart Gut from SmartPak! I have had great success with that product! Thanks Matt!

Thank you so much Matt, youre tip is great. 🙋🏻‍♀️👍🏻💪🏻👊🏻🤗 loved that horse 🤩

I have ulcers now. I've had them before.The problem is I didn't get ahead of the game. Times are really stressful. Matt is a horse 🐎servant. I see him with his horses and they are so expressive with them. I can see why Fallon Tayloe enjoys horsetalk with Matt.

We have just bought a 3 year old filly from the Hunter Valley in New South Wales (I live in Queensland Australia) so she was on the transport overnight; I gave her a course of Ulcershield for 1 week. We also use Ulcershield on all our horses when they are being shown. He’s a stunning colt 😍

Good advise Mr. Mills

Fantastic sharing awareness on ulcers, its so common and most people dontbrealise xxx

Good topic, important when training hard and showing. Always give ulcergard when changing environment, such as showing and a hind gut support. Teeth topic is a definite must, thank you for posting this. Anything new, the ulcerguard and some chill out paste of your choice. Supplement your horse, we take them out of their environment, they should out in a field grazing for most of their days/nights. Always suppliment your horses that are stalled.

Thank you for sharing! This is, I believe, such a swept-under-the-rug topic. Perhaps because people think if a horse has ulcers it may not have been well taken care of-and that is just not always the case. I live in Ontario Canada and for the last few years have been focused on off track thoroughbreds. In the beginning I didn't automatically treat for ulcers. Most had shiny coats, were fit and looked great. Now, as soon as they arrive they are seen by the vet and started on Omeprazole. The quick change, behaviourally and how they handled the transition in every horse was dramatic. Safe to say that despite best care and feed, some horses under stress just seem to be more at risk of developing ulcers. Here in Ontario Canada, Omeprazole must be prescribed by a veterinarian and is not available over the counter. Last box I purchased was $300 for 35 days, not sure how that compares to what is available to you guys. Anyway great videos, I have only admiration and respect for reining. It simply is a wonderful example of what horses can and will do for us, and at the same time make it look so extraordinarily beautiful. Keep up the amazing work!

Hi again MATT Not a vet but good sound advice. My experience is that many either don't know they can get ulcers or don't know their horse good enough to recognize the possibility of such a thing. Pro active and regular help can make such a difference as you mentioned. It can be a really tough go if they have a really severe case. So good general care is alot cheaper then huge vet bills. That's another thing about you after following you for quite a while now is that you offer good commonsense and practical topics that anyone can use. And you have such an understandable way of explaining/teaching the topics. Thx as always for sharing. For me it's great fun I can still get useful tidbits of info. Never too old to learn makes me smile lol! Thx again...

This is good practical advice regardless of what sector of the horse business are in in my case harness racing my poor little girl she was a VP Finance Filly. Every time we would race she was so nervous and so scared I wish I had this product prior! The best she could do is get a third place check unlike her father who made at 6 years old 749,000 but he was an Abercrombie! Just giving you a heads up I just got the booth information confirmation of our Marriott in South Henderson because I need a kitchen to make all the bath and body products. We will be there on the arena floor show! And this time I'll have a better Booth it'll be better prepared I'm sure I'll be the number one babysitter for the kids because of Motor City Slime but I will have more Bath & Body as well as horse related signs and earrings that I am using my new laser to create so I will see you at South Pointe! I'm going to have to create swag bags for all the competitors it will be great!

I have a horse with ulcers,and the Ulcer Guard didn't work for her, but I found out about Succeed and within 30 days, different horse! She now gets 1 scoop of Succeed with the rest of her supplements daily! Great Product!!!

Thanks for this Tip of the Week. We recently lost my daughter's barrel mare to unknown causes. We were aggressively treating her for ulcers but her outside appearance would tell otherwise because her coat was shiny and she looked the best she had ever looked. I currently supplement with O3 Equine Omega and my horses are doing fantastic. Thanks to your video earlier this spring when you received a package from O3 Animal that spurred me to order for my horses. Ok..so my question is what else do you supplement with? You mentioned SmartPak in this video. Is there a specific one or is it based more on the individual horse. Thanks for all your knowledge and wisdom and also your collab with Fallon was FANTASTIC!!

I am loving these videos! Keep them coming. It is nice to find out what the big dogs are doing with their horses

Matt what's the clothing line of the t-shirt that you are wearing? Thank you. I enjoy watching your videos. Especially when they are you competing. Best of luck to all your competitions.

Hello, what's your thoughts on the correlation between ulcers and cribbing in your experience. I just got a mare that cribs like crazy at feeding time and gets agitated. Otherwise she is a nice little calm horse.

Phenylbutizone, Bute is what ppl. believe that caused their horse's gastro ulcers. Even small quantities. Certainly did mine. Ulcers diagnosed less than 5 wks. after.

I’m dealing with that right now

So I grew up around Horses and I have a question. Are they all under 14 hands or are you just wicked tall?

If got a friend who acquired what they thought was an appendix (if that's correct) and apparently the vets said thourobred, and he wont gain weight regardless what she feeds which is a ton! The vets say hes fine but every now and again he bolts on her and was trucked a very long ways to us in vermont. Do you think we should get a second opinion on possible ulcers? They didnt scope him or anything

Gut X by 100x equine works well too?!

Matt me Regalas una cachucha por fabor

How do you deal with a horse that has pssm like with food,and supplements,and all that and work is what am wondering about please????

Isn’t ulcerguard just for prevention and gastroguard for treatment?

👍🏻🤠

Why all the background noise?

My horse had really bad ulcers, the Best treatment I have found and solved his problems, is phosphalugel, great product and really cheap. 😃😃

Do your horses really live in a steel box !!!!!!

Lmao a strick alfalfa diet can cause some horses to tie up
