Course Length: 1 Hour 25 Minutes

Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) is one of the most common and performance-limiting conditions affecting horses today—and it’s not just athletes at risk. Even horses at pasture can suffer silently from ulceration in the stomach lining. The challenge? Symptoms can vary dramatically from horse to horse, and ulcers often go undiagnosed until performance or behavior declines.

In this in-depth Team Talk, Dr. Lisa Millican will guide you through the real-world complexities of gastric ulcers in horses—from how they form and why they happen, to what to watch for and how to treat them. This session will arm you with clinical insight and case-based examples, helping horse owners, trainers, and caretakers alike gain a deeper understanding of this frustrating but manageable condition.

Topics Covered:

What is Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS)?
Causes and risk factors in different disciplines
Clinical signs to watch for (even the subtle ones!)
Diagnostic tools: when and how ulcers are confirmed
