Nutrition‐associated problems facing elite level three‐day eventing horses

Abstract: Horses competing at a high level of 3-day eventing in 2008 were at risk of reduced performance given the significant rate of gastric ulcers, decreased appetite and weight loss. Research addressing specific causes of and/or feeding management changes that would reduce the incidence of these problems in these horses is needed to ensure optimal health and performance.

“…Of particular interest was the widespread use of Gastroguard (Merial, Duluth, GA), despite no confirmed ulcers in these horses (due to no endoscopic evaluations conducted). High prevalence of gastric ulcers in other equine disciplines [18] and concern reported by Leahy et al [5] suggest that there is likely incidence in show jumpers as well. More work in this area is recommended.…”
