Title: "Problems worthy of attack prove their worth by fighting back
MB, I've wondered the same thing from time to time. When the company
vet was at the SERA convention talking about ulcers, I asked him off
line about gaited horses. He said they had run experiment on multiple
breeds - there was little difference in breeds and ulcers. The issue
was not breed related but management related. However, they had not
looked at gaited horses. Maybe why that why the mare had a constitution
of steel.
I also wonder how horses in the wild fare. If this is a management
problem then one would think that horses in the wild living how horses
evolved to live would have fewer ulcers. I don't believe that has been
done.

it is true that the acids splash out of the part of the stomach of the
horse that is buffered and up into the unbuffered part at a trot and
canter, would that mean that my gaited horse would have less of a
chance of ulcers?? Also my Arab mare has a trot that is smooth enough
that you can sit it.? Just a thought I had.
