Re: Help I need some advice on what to feed my 13yr old firey & spkooy TB
Hello Emma, Most race horses (95% of them) have ulcers, and this can make a horse very, very irritable and spooky. To alleviate this potential problem, I recommend two products: AmiQuell and Ration Plus. Both of these together will help heal the gastrointestinal tract, and boost the health of the bacterial flora living in the hindgut. These are not vitamin/mineral supplements, so you can offer them in addition to any other supplements you are feeding. A balanced diet is also important and I would be delighted to assist you with that, if you find that it would be helpful. Finally, most horses do not get enough magnesium, and this plays a large role in behavior. Quiessence is worth considering, as well. I hope this is helpful. All the best, Dr. Getty
