Equine Guelph Short Course – Gut Health & Colic/Ulcer Prevention

Colic is the #1 killer of horses other than old age!

In this online short course, you can learn from experts how to reduce the chance of common digestive tract issues in horses such as colic and ulcers.

Colic is defined as any abdominal pain. With digestive tracts measuring 85 feet in length coupled with the inability to throw up, horses are particularly vulnerable to colic. Further, horses have evolved over eons as continuous grazers, but in recent history, humankind has taken horses out of their natural environment and applied the stresses of modern day management.
