Ulcers in horses

Ulcers are painful for the horse, can impact on their handlers or riders as they react to that pain, and may even reflect our failing to provide a calm and healthy environment.

Lucerne chops

At Simple System, we use the British term lucerne for this amazing forage others also use the American term, alfalfa.

Why are Ulcers a common problem in horses?

Ulcers in horses can be triggered, or exacerbated by, stress, travelling, long periods without food, insufficient forage, cereals and straw, for instance.
