Join world-renowned internal medicine specialist Dr. Ben Sykes to learn a holistic, science-based approach to managing your horse’s gut health, performance, and well-being.
Why Horse Owners Should Attend
Traveling and competing inherently increases the risk of gastric ulcers, but it shouldn’t hold your horse back. Whether you are preparing for the Nationals or managing a leisure horse, a healthy gut is the foundation for an athlete that enjoys its work as much as you do.
In this exclusive webinar, horse owners will hear from a global authority whose research has defined modern ulcer treatment.
Dr. Sykes is recognised among the top 1% of researchers globally and brings over 27 years of clinical experience directly to horse owners. This is a rare opportunity to bridge the gap between cutting-edge veterinary science and your daily stable management.
What You’ll Learn:

- Beyond the Basics: Why standard advice like "free-choice hay" isn't always enough to prevent ulcers in active competition horses.
