Are horses really at risk to develop stomach ulcers?
Studies have shown that more than 90% of race horses1 and more than 60% of performance horses have experienced ulcers.2 Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) can be a painful and discomforting condition that affects racing and performance horses because of the nature of their lifestyles. The stress due to changes in routine, diet, and exercise regimens that come with confinement, training, travel and competition may cause serious stomach ulcers in horses.
