Re: [RC] burping horse...ulcers? - cheval

I didn't even think about this aspect until I read this post. May be 
entirely anecdotal.... but my gelding used to burp frequently. This 
spring he was diagnosed and successfully treated for grade 3 ulcers. 
Since his recovery he hasn't burped once. Just something to consider.
