A local vet recommended giving a cup of aloe juice daily in two equal doses. A couple of acquaintances assure me this has helped their horses recover from ulcers. Is there any validity to this?

Aloe vera is a natural remedy that helps with many exterior problems. In humans there are mixed results, although some people swear by it for horses. I haven't ever given aloe vera to any of my horses, but usually the vet knows best. Tips for preventing ulcers in horses are upping forage intake (such as grass and hay), and minimizing soluble carbohydrates by feeding pelleted forage and plain grain (always soak beet pulp). Also, remember to try to always feed your horse on time.
