Augustine the show horse: One-eyed but ulcer free

January 17, 2020 11:04:48 AM MST / by Amber Foote

My eight-year-old gelding Augustine was diagnosed with gastric ulcers caused from pain associated with an infected eye. While Augustine’s eye was removed shortly after the diagnosis, his discomfort from ulcers continued.

I knew Augustine needed to be treated quickly, but conventional ulcer medication prescribed by a vet was extremely expensive, as were most of the recommended supplements.

I wanted to treat my horse with an effective, natural product that was affordable at the same time. But there were so few options available that I felt good about—and I wasn't sure there was a product out there that would be effective, easy to feed, and affordable.

I was at an Equine Affaire expo in Massachusetts when I visited a Redmond Equine booth. I talked with the rep about my one-eyed, ulcered horse. The rep recommended Daily Gold Stress Relief, explained in simple terms the benefits of the product and how it works, and gave me enough samples to last a few months.

Daily Gold was a great solution! It came from all-natural ingredients, was easy to feed, and turned out to be exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks to the help of Daily Gold, Augustine recovered from his ulcers. He's now a successful show horse, all-around good citizen, and one of the best horses in my children equine program.
