➡Stomach Ulcers
💡Did you know stomach ulcers can show up in many different ways? Some horses lose weight or colic, while others can look fit and healthy but still be struggling.

👉 The horse in these photos looked in good condition but had become unhappy when tacking up and less willing to move forward under saddle. After ruling out back, lameness, and dental problems, a gastroscope revealed grade 2 squamous ulcers and grade 3 glandular lesions.

✨ With a month of treatment and a few simple changes to feeding and management, her ulcers healed completely! Even better—her rider says she feels like a different horse: relaxed, happy, and forward going.

💡 Small management tweaks and ongoing gastric support will now help keep her comfortable and reduce the risk of ulcers coming back.

📞 If you’re concerned your horse may be showing signs of stomach ulcers, or want advice on prevention, give our vets a call or visit our website for more info.

ℹGastroscope Clinics are a great opportunity to get your horse scoped at a reduced rate.

💙We love hearing our clients' stories, and this one really made us smile.
Erin shares her story, " As 2025 was to be my last year competing Maisie as a 143cm working hunter, we set our sights on the goal of qualifying for the prestigious Royal International Horse Show at Hickstead.

At the beginning of the year that goal seemed impossible after Maisie repeatedly developed outbreaks of hives all over her body. These were inflamed, painful and unsightly and it felt like we could never have her looking presentable for the show ring!

Thankfully with help from the team at Loch Leven Equine Practice, after a couple of different approaches, we managed to treat and prevent further outbreaks and get her looking her best.

We campaigned all the ‘local’ shows and qualifiers and although she was always placed very highly, that golden ticket always seemed just a little out of reach!

With only one qualifier left, we decided to make the long trip to the South Lakes to compete. Maisie pulled off a lovely clear and we couldn’t believe our luck when she was pulled in first to win the class and qualify! Not only that, but she then went on to win Champion Open Working Hunter Pony! Making the trip well worthwhile!

Hickstead was the most amazing experience and more than lived up to our expectations. Maisie rose to the occasion and jumped well. We had the best time competing alongside the best ponies in the country and couldn’t be prouder of our little home-produced pony, she is one in a million and makes us believe that anything is possible!"

✨A huge congratulations to Erin, Mum Catherine and Maisie on a fabulous year, getting to Hickstead is such a huge achievement.✨

We'd love to hear and share your stories, get in touch with us via PM or email with your story and pictures 💙

💉🐴 Why vaccinate your horse?
Vaccinations aren’t just a box to tick – they’re a vital part of keeping your horse safe, healthy, and feeling their best... So why isn't every horse vaccinated...?🤔

💉Vaccines:
✔️ Protect against serious diseases like equine flu and tetanus.
✔️ Reduce the spread of infections between horses.
✔️ Meet competition/yard requirements – most events/yards insist on up-to-date vaccinations.
✔️ Peace of mind knowing you’re doing the best for your horse’s long-term health as well as protecting other horses in our area.

At Loch Leven Equine Practice, we recommend regular vaccination as part of your horse’s routine care. If you’re not sure when your horse is next due, give our team a call and we’ll be happy to check.

✨And remember that your annual flu and tetanus vaccines are included in our Healthy Horse Club membership.

✨ Could your horse be suffering from Gastric Ulcers? ✨

It’s one of the most talked-about topics online – “Which supplement should I use?” or “My horse is showing xyz… could it be ulcers?”
But here’s the truth: the only way to know for sure is with a Gastroscope.

🔎 Common signs to look out for (not all horses will present with all clinical signs):
• Drop or change in performance
• Behaviour changes
• Weight loss or difficulty maintaining condition
• Recurrent colic
• Discomfort when girthing
• Dull or poor coat

A Gastroscope gives your vet a clear picture of what’s happening inside, allowing us to identify the type and severity of ulcers and create the right treatment and management plan for your horse.

💡 Don’t guess – get answers. Our Gastroscope Clinics are the perfect opportunity to book your horse in at a reduced rate.

📌 Clinic 1st Scope – just £184 (excluding sedation).

👉 Spaces are limited, so get in touch with our team today to book your place and give your horse the care they deserve.
