A few weeks ago, my horse Didi started showing some very strange behavior with saddling. Namely biting. Didi had already had wounds and pressure spots around the girth, so I was very upset. At first I thought that the new girth was not a success, even though she walked much better with it. So I immediately sent a message to Kassie from Akas Saddlery. Because when I have doubts, I want to talk with good specialists.
But the longer I thought about it, the more I got the feeling that this had another cause. Didi seemed a bit out of sorts, not feeling well. I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

Jeroen van Oostveen came to our barn for another horse and I asked him if he could see with his magic camera if there was anything going on at the stomach. He said, "Of course I can see that," and yes, her stomach was a glowing ball. Okay, very likely so an ulcer. Jeroen tipped me to try the product Egusin from Greenvalley Health Products. He had seen good results with it. And so yes, I then make the choice not to have it scoped, because more stress on the stomach is not going to help her.

The bucket of Egusin arrived quickly and so I bravely fed her the Egusin for 2 weeks, 2x a day. In addition, I changed my own feeding policy, because I did not do that very cleverly out of sheer laziness. Serves her right for having stomach problems. The first few days I saw little result in the work (lunging).
After two weeks the Egusin was gone and I had definitely seen improvement, even when saddling Didi didn't bite anymore. But she was still not 100%. Three days later she turned and I had my horse back. Loose in body, tight underline, relaxed topline, the way I like to see my horses. Lunged with saddle today and no difference, just as good again. I can get back on it soon!

All in all, at 3 weeks Didi is feeling a whole lot better again. Egusin is great! How lucky I am to have a team of horse people around me who know me well enough to understand the solutions I want for my horses.

Thanks Jeroen for the tip and your quick response. And thanks Rita for your quick delivery and aftercare.
We are going to have a wonderful Christmas without stomach problems!
