Management Tips for Gastric and Digestive Health:

Horses are designed to trickle feed – grazing for up to 16 hours a day. This means that they need to constantly secrete acid to help digest this almost continual source of food entering their stomach. A grazing horse will also produce up to 9 gallons of saliva a day which as well as lubricating the food, also acts to help maintain a healthy gastric pH.

The horse has a small stomach, and food does not stay in there for very long with constant stomach acid secretion, so even short periods during the day without access to forage should be minimised. Providing a small amount of forage, such as chaff, prior to exercise will also support gastric health and comfort. The physical fibrous food mat helps to prevent acid splashback onto the unprotected squamous mucosa.

There are a number of additional management tips which may also help support gastric health and comfort:

Turnout to grass where practical and possible, ideally with a placid companion, even if only for short periods. Try to provide periods of turnout or hand grazing to enable the horse to benefit from antioxidants in fresh green forage.
Plan yard and field regimes to avoid social stressors such as bullying or excessive activity near the stable.
Ensure ad-lib forage where practical. For good doers, where calories are restricted, offer very frequent, but controlled amounts of forage, ensuring no long ‘empty’ periods. Select clean, but low-calorie forage to enable larger amounts to be offered.
Avoid high starch feeds and instead use a forage-based regime with digestible fibre sources and oil (e.g. Equine America Supreme Omega Oil) to provide additional energy.
Offer forage in different locations around the stable to encourage natural foraging behaviour.
Feed a good double handful (or 1 round scoop) of alfalfa chaff (or other suitable chaff) before exercise or competition warm-up to provide a fibrous "mat" in the stomach - even if forage is available in the stable or lorry.

Plan training and competition schedules carefully, especially where long-distance travel may result in restricted forage intake and ensure adequate rest days each week.

Feeding Directions for Gel:

A complementary feed for horses, to support gastric health, as part of a balanced diet.

For a 500kg horse: 40ml per serve, into the horse’s mouth onto the back of the tongue. Feed approx. 30-60 mins prior to exercise or event or as required during long distance travel. Maximum: 80ml per day, divided into 2 servings.

Can be fed alongside daily recommended intake of Uls-Gard Solution or Uls-Gard Pellets, for additional support, for example whilst travelling or at a competition.

How long will it take for my order to arrive?

We want to be crystal clear when it comes to managing your expectations; our website is stock managed to show you what items are available for same day dispatch and those which are externally warehoused and therefore, will take a little longer to arrive with you.

Simply make your product selections and a message will pop up telling you how long it will take us to dispatch your order; we call this our product availability message.  If you are happy with the product availability message on the item, checkout your order and we will ship your order in the timeframe stated.

If you have lots of items in your basket, please use the longest product availability message to work out when your order will arrive.  We care about our environmental impact, so we don't split ship orders unless you get in touch to request that we do so.  We will let you know on your order confirmation when we expect your order will arrive with you.

Whilst we do our best to meet the handling times stated in the product availability message, occasionally we can experience some delays in the delivery network.  At these times, a team member will email you to keep you updated on the progress of your order.

Selecting FedEx or DPD does not change our expected handling times; the service selected is always from the point of despatch not purchase.

If you do require an order urgently, please contact us before ordering to ensure we can accommodate your requirements as we hate to be party poopers!

Which couriers do you use?

Before choosing a courier, please make sure you are happy with the product availability message as these handling times apply before we ship your order.  If it doesn’t show “Express warehouse: immediate despatch”, it will not leave us on the same day you have placed the order.

FedEx and DPD are delivered next working day from point of despatch for UK mainland addresses or in two working days for Scottish Highlands, Islands, Northern Ireland, and Irish addresses.  You will receive a text message and an email confirming the day for delivery. 

Selecting FedEx or DPD does not mean your order will bypass our handling times; FedEx and DPD are from the point of despatch, not the point of purchase.
