Equine Gastric Ulcers have been a common condition, reported in performance horses, however, in recent years, the prevalence in leisure horses has increased.

There are two types of Gastric Ulceration;

• Non-Glandular Ulcers; the dorsal region of the stomach lined in squamous epithelium. Ulcerations occur due to extended exposure to acidic secretions.

• Glandular Ulcers; the ventral region comprised of glandular epithelium. Ulceration occurs due to an erosion of the mucosa lining, sometimes a side effect of medication.
