Great, detailed explanation. So happy that you have found the problem and, more importantly, it can be treated. You are a very clever, caring young lady.....its obvious your love for your horses. Look forward to seeing Maggie again soon at an event.
Please, please, please do not knock yourself. You are a sensitive, thoughtful and intelligent horse Mum.
It’s great that you have answers so you can plan for her recovery. The relief she will experience from Omeprazole will be immediate and keeping her on it will enable her gut wall to mend.
Keep your chin up lass, you honestly could not do any more for horses and I hope you get a chance to get out and play soon. ❤
What a huge relief! You’re right, hindsight is always 20/20….but don’t beat yourself up. ❤❤❤
Those of us who have had health issues understand why you smile over a fixable explanation! Here’s to hoping for a full recovery for your gorgeous mare!
Well done for getting to the bottom of what was happening with lovely Maggie.
Don't beat yourself up about it! You are an exceptional horse woman and admired greatly.
She will soon be feeling much better, I'm sure 🥰
I’ve just been through the same with mine. Good luck to Maggie for her recovery 🍀
You're an amazing, responsible, compassionate horse owner! You've responded to what Maggie has communicated to you. Don't be too hard on yourself, as you've learned her behavior, & now you know, moving forward. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Its horrible when you don't know and feel helpless. She is in great hands with yourselves.
Knowing what's wrong is absolutely half the battle. No one has a crystal ball and because you care deeply and know your horse, you knew something wasn't right, pursued it and now thankfully can help Maggie get back on track. It sounds as though she is responding well and feels a lot better already. As you said, hindsight is always 20/20. Onward and upward.
So pleased to hear your update Evie! Thank goodness they found something and that it’s treatable. Please do not berate yourself, the vets didn’t suggest she could get ulcers, so you were never going to think about it.
I’m just so glad that you and your beautiful girl get to continue eventing x
Great news on Maggie! You are such a good horsewoman and a caring Horse mom! Looking forward to more adventures with you, Maggie and Donut! ❤❤❤❤
Awww she prob would ignore the feet stuff if the tummy wasn’t bad it’s like on top of one thing is another. Good horse mom! It’s wonderful to know what is wrong. In all things health related being able to figure out why something is happening and then fix it is amazing.
TG Maggie will get better now you know it’s ulcers Evie and please don’t say your kicking yourself it’s not your fault you are the loveliest caring owner who loves your horses a day at a time now moving on. I wish you all the best in future events. Tfs🤗🏇🤗
Absolutely delighted that is such a treatable illness, one out of top racehorse colts - had the same surgery for a twisted bowel & recovered beautifully. Raced another full season at the top of his game very successfully & then we put him to stud where he was serving 60 preg positive mares per season . We always kept a close eye on him re adhesions & or gastric issues resulting from the surgery . He was a much sort after stallion with a fabulous strike rate with his offspring. Maggie will be fine & a total credit to you as her mum for being so emphatic with her to notice the sometimes very very subtle changes . 🤩
So happy Maggie was diagnosed and she will get better - you're a great Mom be good to yourself -
Just went through this with my just turned 4 yr old PRE dressage horse. He was rearing, kicking out, angry and it was clear to my vet it was ulcers when I had her out in Feb. 38 days of ulcerguard treatment, 28 days full tube, then 10 days stepping down. I had him off it for a few weeks but he started to regress so I put him back on daily maintenance. I have changed feed, added supplements to help the gut (Smartpak Leg up, magnesium 5,000 iu, Aloe pellet) plus I changed grain which is best for performance horses who tend to be ulcerative. My horses have 24/7 hay in nets plus my PRE and Arabian go out in pasture at nights. I have been able to do 3 schooling shows since his treatment finished and he's doing amazing. I was stunned to realize he had ulcers but my vet said Foals can have ulcers! When I see behavioral problem videos now, I immediately think ulcers are probably the root cause of the behavior. I've been around ulcerative horses before so I was suspicious but due to his age I wasn't expecting it. Now I know better and my other 2 geldings are also getting the Leg up and Magnesium daily. My Arabian is so chill now my farrier asked me what I did to change him. He's usually a lunatic and difficult to manage, but not anymore. My non-horsey husband is able to lead him to turnout even on windy days now safely!
Really informative vlog. Evie, you realised something was amiss with Maggie & you ensured she received the correct interventions. Maggie has perked up - thank God it's treatable. Also, your vlog will most definitely have informed fellow equestrians. You (& Maggie) will undoubtedly save other horses struggling with ulcers. In reading other comments, your followers appreciate you, your honesty, but most of all, your love & care for your 4-legged family❤ Upwards and onwards🤗
So glad you got to the bottom of what was wrong with Maggie, and it can be fixed!!! Here's to seeing her out competing again soon xx
So happy you got an fixable answer! ❤❤ Maggie is such a brilliant horse! Don't blame yourself please, you didn't know! Hopefully she's gonna be absolutly fine and that is going to make you unstoppable!!! ❤❤
Such good news to have a diagnosis. Be kind to yourself and just get her well again ❤️
Fab to hear its nothing too serious! Ulcers can be so rubbish for them. Xx
You have done and continue to do everything for dear Maggie, no crystal balls available yet, but your care and knowledge have given her the very best chance for full recovery, she looked very bright out hacking, fingers crossed onwards and upwards 😂 xx
A great farrier and great vets make all the difference.
I'm not sound either.
So glad that you have a diagnosis for Maggie.
So glad Maggie is on the mend. You are such a caring horse mum and Maggie is so lucky to have you and am sure it won’t be too long until she is feeling back to her usual self and back in training as she loves her job ❤🥰
sending you all the love, be gentle with yourself evie - you are such an incredible horsewoman & so so knowledgable. you can't change the past but maggie's future is so bright with you 🤍 hoping she gets well soon. look after yourself as well as her! xx
What a relief to find out what is wrong. My mare went to gatcombe novice champs and did Bicton 2* in the same month and then two weeks later, had a sudden loss of performance at an event and scoped with grade 4 ulcers. I felt terrible as she had obviously had them a while. The thing I find with mares is that they are such troopers, they don’t tend to let you know something is wrong until it is really bad. The good news is they are treatable and manageable and she should come right back to normal soon 🤞
Yes she’s a super stoic mare so it’s hard to know when something is wrong. I hope your mare is feeling better now! X
@@ELSEventing my mare is 23 and retired from eventing now but she had several successful seasons after her ulcers and still does combined trainings with me and team quest with my mum. Fingers crossed Maggie bounces back quickly as she is such a super star.
Poor Maggie but at least you know what is wrong and you can now treat her. Don't beat yourself up about not knowing what was wrong you're not a vet but a very loving owner who knows when her precious horses are not feeling well. Hopefully she is now on the road to recovery. Much love to you all xxxxx❤
Isn't it crazy, as you were describing her symptoms I knew! I went through the same thing with Lemme when I first got him! It finally dawned on me when he tried to bite me one day. All of his behaviors clicked through my mine and I just knew. 4 days into his treatment I had a complete different horse. So glad you figured it out! She will be so much happier. You are such a great owner. ❤
So glad you were able to figure out what was happening.
Don’t beat yourself up about it you do a superb job with your horses …I have just gone through almost identical issue we think my lad been suffering since he was a youngster before I had him ..feel so sad that he suffered so much for most of his life so I know how you feel . Am sure you will have this cracked and July will soon be here and be watching a Maggie eventing blog ❤
great news it was figured out! wishing Maggie a speedy recovery!
Good news Evie - happy days ahead.
It's always a relief to have the answers. Happy things are looking up for Maggie and you!
After treatment my mare drank a lot less water, lay down less,her droppings were drier and her coat improved dramatically. She started with all 3 types of ulcers, we have had 3 scopes over 18 months with an improvement every time. Please don't beat yourself up over it, like you I feel I look after my horses in an ulcer preventative way yet we still got them. Mine was probably when she underwent kissing spine surgery from the pain leading up to the surgery. We were going to scope her then but Covid struck. After the Omaprazole we gave her a course of Sucralfate
Thanks for the update
Ulcers are very common where I come from, especially in TB's. Here in Australia we tend to use the 4 injections instead of the oral stuff, apparently it works a lot better. One of my mares has pyloric ulcers which isn't easy to treat. I keep her on lecithin which is great for prevention, I put it in her feed daily but also before I ride her.
Ulcers cause so much poor performance most people don't realize how much it can affect them, we have a few racehorses with them that require ongoing treatment. So glad u found out. Ps yoghurt is great
💜💜💜
Great video. Thank goodness you found it out. Thank you for sharing.
shows you what a ledgend she is.
Good luck with all you do, just take your time. Take care and all the best. As YOU still have two other horse's. Take care and all the best. Best wishes to your mum. ☺☺👍👍
Hi can you please talk more about the splint and the recovery please, my TB has had a splint and has been in recovery for 16 weeks… and still slightly lame…
He has been on DOMOS etc
Ultrasound and X-ray
So I’m interested in your recovery and exercise coming back from one… 🙏
So glad you found what’s wrong and have a plan, what oil will you be using?
Have had similar with mine, did the vets not prescribe you suculfrate along with your omeprazole syringes? It’s usually necessary in the healing of ulcers for them to be used alongside eachother because while omeprazole heals the ulcerations Suculfrate reduces the production of acid and it’s important you wean them off so not to relapse. I’ve tried many ulcer supplements on the market too (premier performance Gastro premier, naf Gastrivet and gastriaid, feed mark gastri comfort, equine succeed, acid ease and the best one I’ve found which releases symptoms the best and makes him the most comfortable is omega ulsoothe gel (tried powder version too but seen better results with the liquid). Pink mash is not recommended for ulcers because it contains soya, there are studies online detailing why soya should be avoided and sadly it’s in most off the shelf feeds. I think the only brands that are soya and GMO free are Allen and page and some thunderbrooks, Dengie and Honeychop but not all. Interesting to hear more about your vet’s advise as it seems to be different to the advice I was given so really curious to learn if treatment/advise has changed and see if there are any other things I can do to ensure we don’t have another reoccurrence and get them again!
Omeprazole reduces acid production, and sucrulfate coats ulcers improving comfort and healing, you have them mixed up.
Curious what kind of hay you feed to them as you keep it in front of them all the time. Thank you. 😊
What's the song at the end I can't find it I looked in your bio but the song doesn't match with the words
18 by loving calibre - I got it from epidemic sounds x
What brand did you end up using?
Answers gives you steps forwards ❤️🩹
Ulcers, yay. There are so many other sinister things so I'm with you, smiling that it is ulcers. Go Maggie! I can't wait to see her back to 100%.
