Why there’s a 90% chance your horse has never given 100%
Fact #1
9 out of 10 racehorses have gastric ulcers1.
Fact #2
Signs can be subtle and are often similar to other health problems, including, but not limited to, increased irritability, change in attitude, difficulty maintaining weight, and diminished concentration, energy, and performance.
Fact #3
Clinical signs may not always correlate to ulcer severity. What looks like a small problem may be a big one, resulting in injury, poor performance, colic, and in foals, even death.
Fact #4
GASTROGARD is the first and only treatment proven to heal and to prevent the recurrence of gastric ulcers in horses. GASTROGARD will relieve symptoms, often in just 48 hours, even in horses actively training.
