Comment on Inexpensive Treatment for Horse Ulcers by Margaret Smith

Hi everyone. Love this forum. I put my horse on both the Sucralfate (really cheap from Valley vet) and the abprozole from Abler. She is a different horse. For the first time she is gaining weight and less anxious which means less spooking. She also quit crow hopping when I ride and nothing has changed but adding the meds. There is a theory that horses that spook a lot feel pain in their belly because they make even more stomach acid when they are stressed. They are prone to ulcers because they make stomach acid 24 hours a day as they are meant to eat constantly. I saw where people complained that the Abler products come in slowly. I DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THEM. I GOT IT IN LESS THAN A WEEK. It did come from China. Supposedly the FDA has tried to stop them from selling it here because they have not gone through the FDA. So far they are still selling but for how long. One good note is the FDA checked their products a few years back and it did contain the amount of drug they claimed it had in it. I believe it had even more than it said it did. So much for my two cents of information hope it was helpful. THANK YOU ABLER.

Enjoyed info. Looking for specific info, maybe not something you cannot answer. After watching the Movie Return of the Seven, I realized they used Paso Fino horses in thr movie. Just wondered about the horse Robert Fuller rode, I believe iy was a Paso.

Comment on The American Paso Fino Horse by Cristine Saxton Giles

I have raised, trained, and showed Paso Finos for 40 years. I still have 3 and hope to keep riding until my dying day. They have been and still are one of the great Joy’s of my life. I am addicted to the 4 beat, smooth gait. My opinion on why they are going extinct is what us humans have done to the breed. While I admire the Fino horse and it is amazing to watch, that particular horse is not the one people want to ride or are looking to buy. A good tempered corto, largo should be the standard of the breed. Not enough of them are being bred and people can’t find what they are looking for. There is nothing more exhilarating than to fly over the terrain on a well gaited and smooth largo horse. Also, the biggest reason that I bought my first and every Paso is for their smooth ride. I see too many fancy stepping but rough to ride Pasos. What a shame. I’ll never forget seeing Capuchino and his graceful, quick, but flowing gait lose to a stiff legged, sewing machine horse at Nationals of 1992. Again, what a shame. Let’s breed the Pasos that people want and will buy and ensure the long life of this amazing breed. The Paso Fino!

Thanks for commenting, Callia, and I am sorry to hear that your horse had ulcers. I am not sure if I would combine these medications, because I am not a vet and have no idea how the two drugs may interact with each other. Perhaps ask your vet about this?

Also, not sure if you read about the feed my trainers put a couple of horses on that came to their facility with ulcers. It really helped both of them after they went through the Ulcergard treatment. There is information on the feed here:

If you decide to do this, remember to slowly shift over from your current feed to the new feed.

My horse did a month treatment of ulcergard and is now on the abprazole. I was wondering if while he’s on the abprazole if he could also be on the preventative dose of gastrogard…1/4 tube a day.

My horse seemed depressed, lost weight and he was wind sucking. Sadly, his small intestine flipped over to the other side of his body four years ago, and he almost died. I had to have emergency surgery on him, which was very expensive, and I was so glad that I had insurance on him, but I still ended up paying over $7,000 that was not covered!

I now have him on Nutrena Safe Choice, with the Palomino on the bag, and my horse’s surgeon was on the study team for Smart Digest Ulra Pellets by Smart Pak. He said that it is one of the few things that actually works to help prevent colic, and Smart Pak has a ColiCare program that your horse may be eligible for if you order from them. You can see the Smart Digest here: https://www.smartpakequine.com/ps/smartdigest-ultra-pellets–12041

I have heard about the bute problem many times. I did have my horse on omeprazole for over a month. Things have changed since I first wrote this information.

My trainers had a horse come in to their facility with ulcers. They put her on Purina® Ultium® Gastric Care Horse Feed, and the mare did great! She calmed down and started gaining weight like crazy.

Maybe after you use the Omeprazole, see if you could give this feed a try for a month or two? If you decide to do this, remember to slowly shift over from your current feed to the new feed. You can see more on this feed that my trainers swear by here:
