Glad your mare improved on the GastroGard, and I've heard some other good reviews on TractGard. I'm really hoping the GG will help my mare's spooking problem. Thanks again!Spooky Ponynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-70042647755011587852012-09-14T14:16:25.215-04:002012-09-14T14:16:25.215-04:00Hi Spooky Pony,
It's hard to say how long it ...Hi Spooky Pony,<br /><br />It's hard to say how long it took GG to actually have an effect under saddle, because I was unknowingly riding in a saddle that didn't fit Lucy well. So some of her issues probably stemmed from the ulcers, but others may have come from pain associated with saddle fit. Once I got a new saddle for her and had it professionally fitted, I saw a HUGE difference. I did the full 4 weeks of GG treatment and by the end of it, she was feeling much better. I went from getting thrown about once a week to only once a month, which sadly I was thrilled with! haha. She didn't turn into a miracle angel horse overnight - she was still a young, fit TB mare with an attitude problem, but she seemed a lot happier.<br /><br />She has been on TractGard ever since finishing the treatment, and she gets free choice hay. If she goes anywhere (show, event, anywhere involving trailering, etc), she gets a tube of UlcerGard as a preventative measure.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08707037151404133158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-10287587967852439362012-09-09T21:35:35.463-04:002012-09-09T21:35:35.463-04:00Hi!

What a great blog - your horse is beautiful, and you seem like a very conscientious horse owner.<br /><br />I was doing a search on Gastrogard, as we just started my mare on it a little over a week ago. So far she seems quieter in the pasture, but she still has a big spook under saddle. I saw that you also treated your horse and saw a change in demeanor, but it took a little longer to see a result under saddle. How long would you say it took? After the full treatment (did you do four weeks?), did you see a big difference? Do you keep your horse on any type of ulcer maintenance now?<br /><br />Thanks and good luck with your horse! :)Spooky Ponynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-17243724229977645542012-09-01T20:27:36.424-04:002012-09-01T20:27:36.424-04:00Jeez!

She was being pushy, wanting to go home. She gave me a good shove with her head and caught me right in the face, so I turned around and smacked her...right in front of the cop. He stopped talking and looked at me with a shocked look on his face! Leave it up to me to smack my horse in front of a cop!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08707037151404133158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-39181006089775192022012-08-30T18:39:18.567-04:002012-08-30T18:39:18.567-04:00Girl you are brave!!!
