Operation

Ponease forms a film on the stomach wall and thus protects the stomach wall against damage from (splashing) stomach acid, prickly stems in the hay/lucerne/concentrates, stress, etc.

However, during movement (e.g. while riding), stomach acid splashes against the upper part of the stomach wall (the squamous part), but this glandular part of the stomach is not protected against stomach acid, causing wounds and ulcers, which can be very painful.

At the same time, the healing ingredients promote protection of the stomach.

How wounds develop in a horse's stomach

Horses produce stomach acid 24 hours a day. Only if they can eat roughage, graze and/or eat sufficient hay constantly, the stomach acid is usually sufficiently buffered. In some cases, when the stomach acid in the stomach is not buffered enough, this stomach acid attacks the stomach wall. This often happens when horses move, walk, jump, are ridden, are transported. The stomach acid splashes up in the stomach and causes "wounds" on the stomach wall and attacks this stomach wall, which is often very painful.

Causes of gastric wall damage in horses

Wounds in the stomach wall often occur when horses eat too little roughage during transport, during stress, at a competition or in other situations. Some horses have a "natural predisposition" to develop stomach problems, just as there are people who experience stomach problems more quickly.

According to various good sources, an average of 50% of recreational horses and up to 90% of sport horses would have such stomach problems. Often unknown to the owner / rider, but with a great influence on the behavior and performance of these horses.

Stomach wall problems and wounds in horses can be caused by, among other things:

• too rich and fresh grass
• too much sugar
• stress
• when using medication to treat injuries and/or diseases. Painkillers and antibiotics can destabilize the stomach
• deworming
• air sucking
• pain in general. This can be caused by various causes: toothache, dental problems, pain from saddle and harness, ...
• an empty stomach

Symptoms that may indicate that a horse has wounds on the stomach wall include:

• poor / reduced condition
• poorer performance when riding and competing
• stop for the obstacles when jumping
• longer recovery after exertion
• sluggishness
• dull coat
• less appetite
• weight loss
• yawning a lot
• grinding teeth
• colic, which in many cases recurs regularly
• regular diarrhea
• difficult to handle and drive
• pain when tightening
• pain that causes horses to bite
• biting & being grumpy when putting on and taking off blankets
• pain when touching the abdomen
• depressive behavior
• air sucking
• crawling
