Pro-Equine Ulsa-Soothe – Gastric & Digestive Supplement for Horses, 1 Litre

Pro-Equine Ulsa-Soothe – 1 Litre

Ulsa-Soothe is a seven-herb liquid that Pro-Equine formulate to support a horse's natural gastric balance and everyday digestive comfort. They aim it at horses coping with a change of routine, a step up in workload or a lot of travelling, and at the behaviour that often comes with it — spookiness, girthiness, a horse that will not settle to work.

Aloe vera, liquorice, slippery elm, sea buckthorn, peppermint, fennel and oatseed make up the blend. Fed at Pro-Equine's maintenance rate of 15ml twice daily for a 500kg horse, a litre runs to about 33 days, which is what makes this the sensible size for the long-term daily feeding they say the product suits.
