Of course you know that horses are beautiful, sensitive creatures, but did you know how sensitive? Between 60-90% of foals and stalled weanlings and over 60% of performance horses have ulcers.

Horse Facts:

  • West Nile Virus (WNV) is carried by mosquitoes.

  • West Nile Virus (WNV) kills 1/3 of the horses it infects.

  • Horse lameness problems typically occur in the foot.

  • Stress, high carbohydrate diets, being fed twice a day rather than being allowed to graze and physical activity are factors that contribute to the development of ulcers.
