Posted • Gastric ulcer disease is a very common problem in equines and it affects over 60% of adult horses (depending on age, performance, and evaluated populations). While Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) is more prevalent in high performance horses, it's important to remember that any horse can be affected, as all equines suffer from stress—like traveling, stall confinement, changes in diet, etc.—which over time may result in gastric ulcers.

AAEP horse doctor .christinestaten shares a very valuable reminder: "The only way to definitively diagnose stomach ulcers is with gastroscopy—which involves passing a tube through the nose of a sedated horse into their stomach and then evaluating all of the different parts of the stomach."

The barrel horse in the pictures presented for decreased performance and upon scoping revealed an awful glandular ulcer.
With a proper diagnosis this horse can now get the appropriate treatment, which will help him feel and perform better!
