Jessie'sgirl replied to Jessie'sgirl's discussion Help!!"i have heard of gastric ulcers, a mare at my barn has one but is completely un-bothered by it, although i guess that is not always the case. I will find out if she does have a stomach ulcer."
Jessie'sgirl replied to Jessie'sgirl's discussion Help!!"thank you, i will try what you suggested, i am really hoping that it is not pain related because if it is it appears that it will be hard to find."
Jessie'sgirl replied to Jessie'sgirl's discussion Help!!"i dont believe in using pads to fix a poreley fitting saddle either, but if the saddle appears to fit, wouldn't a pad just help make things more comfortable for the horse?? i am really not sure about this its just an idea i got from some people…"
Debra McDaid replied to Jessie'sgirl's discussion Help!!"Gastric ulcers-- stomach trouble can cause a balky horse... this is a fact. I have seen this on more than one occasion. Very good advice."

Jessie'sgirl replied to Jessie'sgirl's discussion Help!!"thank you, i will check to see what her saddle feels like.. its a cheapy (a supra) so if it needs a pad added on its no big deal cause i didn't pay much for the saddle in the first place."
Jessie'sgirl replied to Jessie'sgirl's discussion Help!!"thank you, I certainly dont want to have that happen to my girl, she's only 5 years old.. I will try giving her a little time off and see if it helps, I actually gave her today off, I just went out to the barn and loved her"
Susan replied to Jessie'sgirl's discussion Help!!"Sorry to be another contradictor, but there is pain somewhere.
My guess is a problem with your saddle or your horse's teeth, but the pain could be anywhere.
Do you have an expert saddle fitter near where you ride? A saddle fitter is different…"
Jackie Cochran replied to Jessie'sgirl's discussion Help!!"What type of saddle?
I seem to be picking up that your mare objects to weight being put into the stirrups.
I have had success with sour movers with the Corrector saddle fitting system (thecorrector.net.)
Feel under the padding of your saddle (the…"
