Stomach ulcers can be painful, yet some horses show very few symptoms. Others will lose weight, have recurrent colic, intermittent loose stools, poor hair coat, poor body condition, changes in disposition and/or general poor performance. Peptic Essentials is recommended in horses exposed to stressful conditions or activities that may induce stomach ulcers in horses. Such conditions may include training, racing, showing, traveling, stall confinement, and competition. Gastric ulcers can develop in recreational horses within just five days.

Stomach ulcers are more common in horses than once believed. Studies have demonstrated stomach ulcers in over 90% of racehorses and 60% of performance horses in various disciplines. Horses secrete acid in their stomach 24 hours a day. Horses on grass pasture or eating large quantities of roughage infrequently develop stomach ulcers. Horses without continual access to roughage or in rigorous training are at greater risk of stomach ulceration due to the effects of acid on the stomach lining. The additional stresses of traveling, competition, stall confinement, and strenuous exercise can also contribute to the development of stomach ulcers in horses.
