Have you heard of using canola oil to prevent gastric ulcers in horses?

Q: I haul my Paint mare several times a month to weekend shows or a trainer and I always worry about gastric ulcers! (Maybe I’ll get one myself with all this worrying!) I’ve read satistics that say over 60% of show horses have ulcers, I don’t want my horse to be one of them.She had problems this spring when put on heavy duty IV antibiotics to clear up an infection after a joint capsule puncture. She lost weight, was cranky, her coat got dull, all the signs. I put her on some herbal equine meds for ulcers and probiotics and made sure she had lots of food in front of her, and they cleared up. But the ulcer medication is expensive and I’d like to find another solution to the potential problem of my horse developing ulcers while showing and under stress.I have a trainer friend who told me she’d read about giving canola oil daily to prevent ulcers. Has anyone else heard about that? Any other suggestions? She lives in pasture at home and is otherwise well cared for and is symptom free now

A: I have a QH mare that had ulcers. I would take her to a show and she would get herself so worked up that she would colic. I contacted my vet, who scoped her and confirmed that she did in fact have ulcers. My vet could have recommended anything at that point and I would have done it. I expected that she would recommend Gastroguard and Ulcerguard which if you dont know already is VERY expensive. I was pleased when she said corn oil. I went out and purchased a 5 gallon jug from a local equine supply store. It was approx. $25 and started adding it to her feed. After two weeks she was up to the vet’s recommended dose of a cup of corn oil a day (1/2 in the morning and 1/2 in the evening). A month later the vet rescoped the mare and all signs of the ulcers were gone. She has been a much happier horse. NOW…I have switched to an all forage diet on all of my horses. They are fed free choice pasture, alfalfa, and costal bermuda hay. The are as fit has they have ever been and have the coat and feet of a show horse. I have stopped feeding the corn oil because of their diet, but I have started adding aloe vera juice to her water. Aloe has been known for years to aid digestion and stomach ailments. She has been scoped every year since we found the ulcers and once they went away they never came back. One last thought…if you horse is at all over weight or an “easy keeper” steer clear of the oil. All oil is high in fat and can lead to obisity problems. I have found that the aloe (which has no fat) is just as good. Hope this helps
