Okay, I'm mad.
Up to 85% of all domesticated horses, according to Veterinary estimates and studies, have ulcers. Please stop and read that again -- the part about "up to 85 percent."
Because if that is true, that means YOUR horse, probably has ulcers.
I don't care how "naturally" you treat him/her. Your horse is domesticated. It is impossible to provide him/her with a truly 100 percent natural environment, no matter how hard you try (and trust me, if anyone has tried it is me).
This is not the part that makes me mad (though admittedly it does make me sad). The part that makes me mad is how much the equine industry wants to charge for the treatment of this prevalent, debilitating condition. Try $40 a day for the prescribed chemical pastes and $25 a day for the unprescribed pastes you can buy online or in a feed store. Do you have $350 -- $25 a day for a 14-day treatment? How about the $50 a day treatment that is often required for the horses who have exacerbated conditions (and therefore need double dosing?) Of course this is not including the scoping that is the only recognized, proven way to diagnoses ulcers and which costs an average of $800.
What? You don't have the $800, plus the $350 plus the up-front vet fees for use of the facility and the vet's time? Well, what are you going to do?
I don't tout my own horn a lot -- I like to tout the horns of others. But in this circumstance I'm going to put myself out there and tell you: I have a lot of SUCCESSFUL experience with the treatment of my own horse's ulcers and I am going to help you with all the information I have. This information comes from equine nutritionists, vets, energy workers -- and most importantly, my horse.
I'm going to share this information with you for free. I'm going to tell you where to get most of the products in your own hometown and how to mix and feed them. My goal is to save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
Because I'm sick of this game where people and their horses suffer unnecessarily.
Stay tuned. This information will be in my next article, which I am writing as soon as I hit the publish button on this post.
