After a few trial and errors I needed something to support a little anxious show horse after successfully treating grade 4 ulcers and found Ulcer Armour to be most effective and palatable

My mare was turned out for almost 9 months due to a soft tissue strain and the unexpected sudden passing of my brother. She has only been back in work since the beginning of September and I didn't bother to clip her so this photo is of her blowing out her winter coat which is super glossy and healthy! This is mostly due to good gut health because of HH Ulcer Armour! Brilliant product! 🤩
Ulcer Armour+ | Gastric Support for Horses
Store owner replied: Hi there, so sorry to hear about your brother — and what a credit to you that your mare has come back into work looking this good. A glossy, healthy coat blowing out through spring is exactly what good gut health looks like from the outside. Thank you for sharing her, she's a stunner 🐴
Every horse I’ve used this on has been happier from the anxious ulcer prone babies to the ones who just deserve to feel good too. Love the smell and the horses all love it
Ulcer Armour+ | Gastric Support for Horses
Store owner replied: Hi Bec, from the anxious ulcer-prone ones to the horses who just deserve to feel good — that's the whole range covered. So glad Ulcer Armour+ is a hit across the team (smell included!). Thanks for the review and the great pic 🐴
Ive have Beach for 1 1/2 years now. He had always been girth saddling. Just over a month ago i switched his feed from oat vetch to meadow and introduced HH ulcer armour & gut health +. We are just a few weeks in an already his feed consumption is a little less and so is his girthy attitude. I have notince a lot calmer horse which im supper happy about. The day is very overcast but even his coat is improving.
Ulcer Armour+ | Gastric Support for Horses
Store owner replied: Hi Kerry, a girthy horse of 18 months softening up within a few weeks, with the calm and the coat following, is exactly what we hope for when the gut gets sorted — and the switch to meadow hay was a smart move alongside it. Really pleased for you and Beach. Thanks for the review 🐴
Our mare would never have the ability to focus with pouring rain and a hurricane outside while training. She is fed Ulcer Armour daily and loves it. It’s keeping her well from the inside out.
Store owner replied: Hi Michele, a mare who can keep her focus with a storm hammering the roof is a horse who feels well inside — "well from the inside out" is exactly how we'd put it. Thanks for the ongoing support and the video 🐴
I have a very anxious horse diagnosed with stage 4 ulcers after treatment I use UA and he seems to be ok but always treat him with his ulcer treatment in times of stress like shows
Store owner replied: Hi Libby, that's a really sensible way to manage a horse with that history — Ulcer Armour+ for everyday support and your vet's treatment ready for the high-stress stretches. Glad he's travelling well on it. Thanks for the review and the video 🐴
My Friesian came down from NSW as a freshly broken in 3 year old. I had never met him so wasn’t sure of his personality but soon noticed he got quiet uptight at events and being young I put it down to his age but it didn’t really suit his general temperament. After trying a few things I thought I’d give HH ulcer armour a go and the results happened within a week. He put on weight he looked calmer and happier in general. I haven’t taken him to a big event yet after putting him on HH products but I’m optimistic that he will have a calmer experience because of the change in him so far. Great products thanks HH Ps also being a Naturopath I love the ingredients
Store owner replied: Hi Lacey, a freshly broken three-year-old settling into a new home is a lot of change for a young gut, so weight on and a calmer, happier horse within a week is a great result — and a Naturopath's tick on the ingredients means a lot to us. Looking forward to hearing how his first big outing goes. Thanks for the review 🐴
Ulcer Armour has been the best gut health product we've used for our horses - happy horses, happy us!
Store owner replied: Hi Sandra, "happy horses, happy us" is the whole idea — thrilled Ulcer Armour+ is the best you've used. Thanks for the review, and what a magnificent photo 🐴
I originally heard about the product on a podcast. The horse described was very similar to what I was experiencing with my horse. I contacted about the product and found correspondence quick and helpful. I’m 2 weeks into using the product on both my horses - they love the taste and I look forward to seeing what eventuates when out in competition and with daily behaviour.
Store owner replied: Hi Ange, glad the podcast rang true and that reaching out was worth it — two weeks in with both horses loving the taste is a good start. Competition and daily behaviour is exactly where we'd expect Ulcer Armour+ to show its worth, so we'd love an update once you've seen a few more weeks. Thanks for the review, and cracking photo over the fence 🐴
Definitely improved - tummy less tender and poos better
Store owner replied: Hi Rebecca, a less tender tummy and better poos are the two signs we watch for first — really pleased Ulcer Armour+ is doing the job. Thanks for the review and the video 🐴
I had started my Ottb on AU at the beginning of summer then life got in the way and unfortunately had to stop using it but noticed right away that my horse dropped condition and was in happy especially over winter so he’s 100% back on it and noticing the difference straight away absolutely love love love
Store owner replied: Hi Dakoda, that's the clearest test there is — off it and he dropped condition, back on it and the difference showed straight away. Really pleased your OTTB is sorted again heading into the warmer months. Thanks for the "love love love" 🐴
Horses are doing well on it and coats look amazing
Store owner replied: Hi Susan, doing well with coats looking amazing is exactly what we're after with Ulcer Armour+ — and that's a lovely shot in the arena. Thanks so much for the review 🐴
My boy has gone from being tucked up and snappy to relaxed and calm.
Store owner replied: Hi Melissa, tucked up and snappy to relaxed and calm is the turnaround we love hearing about most — gut comfort shows up in behaviour first. Thanks for the review and the video 🐴
After 18 months using this wonderful Product, we continue to see the benefits in our horses gut health and happiness.
Store owner replied: Hi Michele, 18 months in and still seeing the benefits is exactly what Ulcer Armour+ is built for — thank you for the long-running support, and love the photo 🐴
I used ulcer amour post an extensive injury and vast amounts of antibiotics and pain relief. Darcy looked a million bucks throughout the whole process
Store owner replied: Hi Naomi, a long run of antibiotics and pain relief is hard on the gut, so Darcy looking a million bucks the whole way through is a great result — that's exactly where Ulcer Armour+ earns its keep. Thanks for sharing, and what a gorgeous photo of you two 🐴
My horse Archie & I are huge fans of all your products. Archie has recently been diagnosed with grade 3 gastric ulcers & inflammatory bowel disease so am feeding him Ulcer Armour, Vitality & Gut Health & he is looking great. He’s put on weight & seems much happier & less anxious.
Store owner replied: Hi Fiona, lovely to hear from you and Archie again — weight back on and a calmer, happier horse while you work through a tough diagnosis with your vet is a great result. Glad the trio is supporting him well, and thanks for the continued support 🐴
Palatable and effective. I’m a new user but it seems to be one of the best options so far.
Store owner replied: Hi Rebecca, palatable and effective is a strong start for a new user — give it a few more weeks and we'd love to hear how things are going. Thanks for the review 🙌
Always a must in my feedroom to keep my horse's tummies happy 😊
Store owner replied: Hi Janet, "a must in the feed room" is exactly where we want to be — thanks for the ongoing support and for keeping the tummies happy 😊
So far an excellent product. After just a month of feeding I have a much happier and more relaxed horse who is putting on some weight even thought it’s getting very cold here (Tassie winter). Can’t wait to complete the Repair dose period and see the results 😊
Store owner replied: Hi Lydia, holding and gaining weight through a Tassie winter while getting happier and more relaxed is a great first month on the repair dose — can't wait to hear how he looks at the end of it. Thanks so much for the review 😊
Our old boy is prone to ulcers and within a few weeks of commencing HH he’s so much happier! Highly recommend
Store owner replied: Hi Bec, a happier old boy within a few weeks is exactly what we hope for — the seniors deserve a comfortable gut as much as anyone. Thanks for the review and the recommendation 🐴
Great product
Store owner replied: Hi Christine, short and sweet — thanks for the review and for having Ulcer Armour+ in the feed room 🙌
Amazing product. Has made my very stressy gelding quite a pleasure to take oyt now. His settled and his behaviour is amazing now
Store owner replied: Hi Jody, a stressy gelding who's now a pleasure to take out is the kind of turnaround that makes our day — gut comfort so often shows up in behaviour first. Thanks for the review 🐴
A fantastic product at a reasonable price! One of the only products with the correct ingredients to buffer the stomach and hindgut lining, hence it works!
Store owner replied: Hi there, we love a customer who's read the ingredients list — getting the formulation right for both the stomach and the hindgut is the whole point of UA+. Thanks so much for the review 🙌
Having trained 100’s of horses I’ve tried every ulcer prevention or treatment available. Ulcer Armour is by far the best one for maintaining your horse’s gut health and keeping the more high energy types a little more relaxed.
Store owner replied: Hi Amanda, "by far the best" from someone who's trained hundreds of horses and tried everything on the market — that means a great deal to us. Thanks for putting Ulcer Armour+ to work across the team and for taking the time to review 🐴
My TB horse was diagnosed with Grade 3 squamous gastric ulcers after a bout of colic 6 weeks ago. Along with the Ulcershield my vet prescribed, I started him on a repair dose of Ulcer Armour. He had a repeat gastroscopy last week & his ulcers have completely healed. My vet did say she was very surprised by such a great response to Ulcershield so am convinced that the UA played a huge role too. My horse is very, very fussy about eating supplements in his feed, so was very concerned that he would refuse to eat UA. I didn’t need to worry as it’s palatable & he loves the stuff. Thank you from Archie & Fiona
Store owner replied: Hi Fiona, a clear scope six weeks on from colic is a brilliant result, and full credit to you and your vet for getting on top of it quickly — we're proud UA+ could sit alongside that treatment and support Archie's gut through recovery. Winning over a fussy eater is the bonus we love. Thank you both for sharing 🐴
My horses coat had been very dull and he was very grumpy in hand and under saddle. He is now shiney and a very happy and relaxed horse both on the ground and under saddle.
Store owner replied: Hi Samantha, dull and grumpy to shiny and relaxed, on the ground and under saddle — that's the full turnaround we love hearing about. Really pleased UA+ is working for him. Thanks for the review 🙌
My horse has improved with ulcer armour in his feed. More willing to work and happier
Store owner replied: Hi Barbara, more willing to work and happier in himself is the pair we're always after — glad Ulcer Armour+ is doing its job in the feed. Thanks for the review 🐴
Tried many other ulcer supplements and none seemed to make my horse feel better. Has been on HH for a few weeks now and she’s stopped biting her sides and is way less grumpy!
Store owner replied: Hi Melanie, no more side-biting and a lot less grump in a few weeks — that's exactly what we love to hear, especially after other products hadn't moved the needle. Thanks so much for the review 🙌
I have a very anxious ott He had grade 4 ulcers which were treated scoped again and clear them started this product and he is really thriving
Store owner replied: Hi Libby, scoped clear and now thriving — that's the outcome we hope for when Ulcer Armour+ comes in after treatment. Really pleased it's working for your OTT, and thanks so much for sharing 🐴
Love the Ulcer Armour +. Has made a huge difference to my OTTB’s feet as his gut health has improved enormously by using this product. Healthy gut, healthy hooves.
Store owner replied: Hi Diana, "healthy gut, healthy hooves" — you've summed it up better than we could. So pleased Ulcer Armour+ has made such a difference for your OTTB. Thanks for the review 🙌
New horse thats highly strung so we have ticked all the boxes to get him happy and healthy and after ulcer treatment we wanted to help support the gut and this product was recommended. Very happy and the attitude change makes it worthwhile
Store owner replied: Hi Kathryn, supporting the gut after treatment is exactly where Ulcer Armour+ earns its keep, and an attitude change in a highly strung new horse is the win that matters most. Thanks for the review, and for trusting the recommendation 🐴
Jesta is ulcer prone and I started him on ulcer armor as another product just didn’t seem to be working. He is now licking his food bowl clean and so much happier!
Store owner replied: Hi Hayley, a licked-clean feed bowl is the best review Jesta could give — so pleased Ulcer Armour+ is working where the other product wasn't. Thanks for sharing, and give him a pat from us 🐴
I’ve had my OTTB on Ulcer Armour+ for a little over 3 weeks now. I suspect she may have gotten ulcers after being on antibiotics and bute for 10 days following an injury. I decided to use UA+ before getting her scoped to see if it would help at all. I took her rug off today and she’s started to put weight on and got a shine back to her coat! She also seems much more happier within herself! ⭐️
Store owner replied: Hi Sharni, weight coming back, shine in the coat and a happier mare in a little over three weeks — that's a great result after a rough patch on antibiotics and bute. Really pleased UA+ is helping her come right, and thanks so much for sharing her progress ⭐️
Ulcer Armour is the best product. My horses all love it!
Store owner replied: Hi Joanne, "the best product" — we'll take that! Glad the whole team is tucking into Ulcer Armour+. Thanks for the review 🐴
My horses dry coat is now shiny. And he is happy and more consistent in his work.
Store owner replied: Hi Samantha, this is the kind of review that makes our day — a shiny coat, a happy horse, and more consistency under saddle is exactly the trifecta we're after with Ulcer Armour+. Thanks so much for taking the time to share, and give him a scratch from us.
I have had my OTT on it for about 8 months now I have had him just over 12 months! This improved his coat and condition a lot in a short period of time and he was definitely feeling better in himself. Very happy best product I have found for gut health!
Store owner replied: Hi Jess, eight months in and still going strong — love hearing that. OTTs often need a fair bit of support to come right after racing, so to hear the coat, condition and his general happiness have all lifted on Ulcer Armour+ is exactly what we love to see. Thank you so much for sharing.
We have much happier, healthier horses since using Ulcer Armour.
Store owner replied: Hi Stacey, happier, healthier horses — plural — is exactly what we love to hear. Thanks so much for the review and for putting Ulcer Armour+ to work across the team.
Love this product. My horse had never been better
Store owner replied: Hi Melinda, "never been better" is the bar — thank you for the review!
Great product horses love it very palatable. Great for traveling and competitions.
Store owner replied: Hi Joanne, travel and competition is exactly where Ulcer Armour+ earns its keep — so glad it's working for the team. Thank you for taking the time to review! P.S - Stunning pic!
I noticed after a couple of weeks that my mare's attitude changed. She was easier to get along with and more compliant. Much happier. It was quite noticeable
Store owner replied: Hi Tracey, a noticeable shift in attitude within a couple of weeks is exactly what we hope for — gut comfort tends to show up in the behaviour first. Really pleased UA+ is working for your mare.
