I hear what you are saying and I'm sure that anyone here who has a horse with ulcers will do whatever they can to cure it. Take it from someone who has struggled for 4 years with ulcers (and who has tried everything in the book except for 1 treatment) ... it is difficult to cure. Some horse respond wonderful to eco-ulcer or ranitidine, and if it worked for you great. But other horses don't respond and then what do you do?

The 3 year old on our farm windsucks and he lives with 3 other horses. They all live out and only come into the large stables for supper and breakfast. The other horses have not copied the habit... thank goodness!

Well, I believe those collars work, but they have to wear the collar continuously for a year or more to break the habit. One moment of forgetting to put the collar on and the horse is windsucking madly again.

George is a wind sucker and nothing will stop him. he developed this as a baby because they are locke din stables all day. George is not nervous and does not suffer with stomach ulcers. He only windsucks when he is eating so if he is eating his haynet he will take a suck at the pole. When he gets his feed in am and pm he takes a suck on his stable door. It has not affect him and there is nothing wrong with his health.

A cronic windsucker is coming to our yard and I am worried the other horses might start to copy him. I have heard conflicting reports, some saw they do copy others say they dont? Should I put this person off as all our horses are vice free.

Hey Chloe, I don't believe that horses 'copy' these vices from each other. The problem comes in when their is a poor management system at a yard, which can cause many horses to windsuck due to a stressful enviroment. If all your horses are vice free, chances are you have a good managament system at your yard, so I wouldn't worry.
