The LSU Study That’s Changing How Performance Horse Owners Handle Ulcers (And Why Your Horse Needs This)

The LSU Study That’s Changing How Performance Horse Owners Handle Ulcers (And Why Your Horse Needs This)

If you’re tired of watching your performance horse struggle with ulcers despite your best efforts, you’re not alone.

Whether you’re heading down the alley, backing into the box, or getting ready for your ride, every competitive rider knows that sinking feeling when your horse starts going off feed, acting girthy, or losing the focus and fire that makes them a champion.

You’ve probably spent hundreds (maybe thousands) on omeprazole treatments, tried every ulcer supplement on the market, and still find yourself back at square one when competition season heats up. The hauling, the stress, the irregular feeding schedules – it all takes a toll on your horse’s gut health.

But what if there was a natural solution that could support your horse’s digestive health at the source? What if one breakthrough ingredient could address the root cause of ulcers while naturally improving everything else?

The Game-Changing LSU Study You Need to Know About

Researchers at Louisiana State University’s School of Veterinary Medicine conducted a groundbreaking study that proved what performance horse owners have been searching for: a natural way to support gastric health in horses under stress.

Dr. Frank Andrews, director of the Equine Health Studies program at LSU, tested SeaBuck 7 on horses using a rigorous scientific protocol. The results were remarkable:

Horses receiving sea buckthorn showed significantly lower glandular ulcer severity compared to control horses. Even more impressive? This happened during a feed-deprivation stress test designed to worsen ulcers.

But here’s what really caught Dr. Andrews’ attention: “Sea buckthorn prevented the worsening of glandular ulcers during feed-deprivation in the horses in this study, without altering gastric juice pH.”

This means sea buckthorn supports your horse’s natural digestive processes instead of artificially changing stomach acid levels like pharmaceutical treatments do.

The Secret Weapon: Omega-7 Fatty Acids

Here’s what most horse owners don’t know: ulcers aren’t just about too much stomach acid. They’re about damage to the stomach lining itself.

Sea buckthorn berries contain rare Omega-7 fatty acids – a powerful nutrient that supports the stomach lining from the inside out. While most supplements try to neutralize acid or block its production, Omega-7 actually helps maintain the protective barrier that keeps your horse’s stomach healthy.

But here’s the catch: not all sea buckthorn contains meaningful levels of Omega-7.

SeaBuck 7 Equine uses the Turkestanica variety – lab-verified to contain the highest Omega-7 concentration of any sea buckthorn type we’ve tested (and we’ve tested them all).

Our berries are wild-harvested from the harsh Himalayan mountains, where the extreme conditions force the plants to produce incredibly nutrient-dense fruit. They’re hand-picked and processed the same day to preserve maximum Omega-7 potency.

Here’s what makes this different from any other ulcer supplement in your feed room:

  • Premium sea buckthorn : The most potent source of Omega-7 available, lab verfied
  • Wild-harvested : Never farmed. As pure as what your horse would forage on in nature.
  • Fresh-processed : Berries processed the same day to preserve Omega-7 content & bio-active nutrients
  • Competition-safe : 100% natural, food-grade nutrition, no drugs or banned substances

Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what competitive riders are saying about SeaBuck 7 Equine’s ulcer support:

Kammy from Idaho:

“I was having a tremendous amount of trouble with him last year refusing to go in the gate, so much so that he was starting to rare and strike when I was trying to get him in. He is a cribber and while I have never had him scoped, I suspected he was dealing with ulcers. I started Seabuck in March of this year on advice from my trainer. “Wow” is all I have to say. I was amazed at the difference it made. Not only does Kiddin look better but he feels better. I entered the Xtreme Barrel Race in Salina, UT in May and was very nervous about getting Kiddin into the arena, as you have to go into a holding pen and then into an alley. Not only did I not have trouble getting him into the holding pen, but he took off like a rocket into the alley way and I actually had to slow him up a bit. He never refused me once. I believe in Seabuck and will continue to use the product.”

Champion Rider Natalie Foutch:

“I was making a run for the NFR and late in the season, my great horse Orville got sick with ulcers. He was scoped after being on SeaBuck 7 for a few months. After the scope him the vet replied how pristine his stomach looked and was surprised considering our hauling schedule. Orville has been on SeaBuck7 for 7 years now and it has kept him strong, focused and competitive”

Kate from Kansas:

I do not know if it’s even possible but I’m already seeing a difference in Levi! Today was day 4 of his Seabuck. I took him to “slow work” him as I am bringing him back after being off for about a month. He has been so lethargic and it’s been such an effort to make him want to move or run that I just really didn’t want to ride him. I worked him today and see such a difference. He actually has energy! I didn’t have to beg him to move out. He did it on his own. He wasn’t hyped-up or racey, just a willing worker. He was calm as always but you couldn’t call him sluggish or lazy today. I was totally amazed and I am starting to see a glimpse of hope that I will have my running horse back soon.”

Why Omega-7 Changes Everything

 Better Appetite : No more going off feed during stressful periods

 Improved Focus : Comfortable horses can concentrate on their job

 Consistent Performance : No more “good days” and “bad days”

 Shinier Coat : Proper nutrient absorption shows from the outside

 Better Weight Maintenance : Healthy digestion means better feed utilization

 Calmer Attitude : Pain-free horses are naturally more relaxed

 

Professional Riders Trust SeaBuck 7 Equine for Ulcer Support

PRCA Calf Roper Randall Carlisle (80+ rodeos per year): 

“I’m a calf roper in the PRCA and travel with my horses to over 80 rodeos per year, which can put a lot of stress on my horses. I have used Seabuck 7 for 6 months now. This product has helped my horses keep their appetite, gain weight on the road and maintain the high, focused energy you want in a performance horse. I have always looked for a product to give my horses an edge in competition. I feel that I have found that edge with Seabuck 7. Try it on your horses and you will notice a difference too”

Professional Team Roper Ryon Tittel: “After trying Seabuck7 I realize now that this product is a must for my performance horses. I am truly amazed at the benefits of this product. My horses have never looked better. With the schedule that I have my horses are subject to the stress of hauling and competing. Seabuck 7 maintains healthy digestion and reduces the negative effects of stress to keep my horses ulcer free and competing at a high level. I have had issues in the past with my heel horse Roany losing weight and not drinking like he should on the road but with Seabuck7 he has gained weight and drinks more frequently. I like that this is an all natural product that provides anti-inflammatory functions as well to keep my horses feeling good during the grind of the rodeo season. I am excited about this product and what it does for the long term health for my horses”

Nicole Riggle Pro Barrel Racer : “I started using Seabuck 7 when I bought my good horse “Shoe” from Bobo McMillan in the fall of 2013. I then introduced it to all of my other horses and saw a huge difference. My foals (who often times are sensitive to different hay or grain) no longer had those reactions. My performance horses were much happier and healthier on the road. I had numerous horses with stomach and ulcer issues. Feeding Seabuck 7 to those horses has made a world of a difference. My favorite part about Seabuck is the way it makes a horse’s top line look. Instead of putting fat on a horses belly it spreads it throughout the entire body giving you a very healthy looking horse. Seabuck is something I will never go without in my horses feeding program.”

Why Two Gallons Is Your Best Investment for Ulcer Support

One gallon of SeaBuck 7 Equine will get you started, but here’s what we’ve learned from thousands of performance horse owners dealing with ulcer issues: Two gallons gives your horse’s stomach lining enough time to truly benefit from consistent Omega-7 support.

  • Week 6-8 : Noticeable coat improvements – healthy shine
  • Month 2-3 : Optimum gut health & protection – consistent peak performance

With two gallons, you’re covered for 2-3 months of consistent use, which is when most owners see the most dramatic improvements beyond gut health that make them customers for life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is SeaBuck 7 different from other ulcer supplements I’ve tried?
A: Most ulcer supplements are antacids that only provide temporary relief by neutralizing stomach acid. SeaBuck 7 contains rare Omega-7 fatty acids that actually support the stomach lining’s natural protective barrier. It’s the only supplement using the most potent Turkestanica variety of sea buckthorn, lab-verified for maximum Omega-7 content. Instead of masking symptoms, it addresses the root cause.
Q: Is it worth $85 when I’m already spending so much on other supplements?
A: No, SeaBuck 7 isn’t worth $85 if you’re looking for another supplement to add to your collection. But if you’re looking to address the ROOT CAUSE of many performance issues – ulcer and digestive problems – it may be the best decision you make for you and your partner. Compare it omeprazole treatments, that given, do work, but only mask the symptoms of a much deeper problem. SeaBuck 7’s rare Omega-7 fatty acids actually support your horse’s stomach lining and gut health for less than $3/day, and when your horse’s gut is healthy, you naturally see improvements in ways you wouldn’t expect.
Q: Can it really help with coat and focus if it’s just for ulcers?
A: Yes, because when your horse’s digestive system is healthy, their body can properly absorb nutrients and function normally. Ulcers cause pain and stress that affect everything from appetite to attitude. By supporting stomach lining health with Omega-7, you’re addressing the foundation that allows everything else to improve naturally. Even better, omega 7 has also been proven to directly feed & nourish skin and coat from the inside-out, creating a one-of-a-kind SeaBuck shine. (Remember to take “before” pictures. Seriously! You’ll want to see the improvements first-hand… and show off a bit!)
Q: Will my horse actually eat it?
A: Yes! Sea buckthorn berries are something they would naturally graze on if found in nature. SeaBuck 7 has a natural, tart flavor that horses love.  Unlike powders that horses can sift out, the liquid provides superior bio-availability and mixes completely with feed. In over 20 years, we’ve had little to no palatability issues.
Q: Is it safe for competition?
A: Absolutely. SeaBuck 7 is 100% natural, food-grade sea buckthorn. No drugs, stimulants, or banned substances, just super charged nutritional fuel. It’s completely competition-safe for all disciplines and organizations.
Q: How quickly will I see results for ulcer issues?
A: Most owners notice improved energy and focus within 1-2 weeks. Better attitude and willingness to work typically show within 3-4 weeks. It’s some of the few improvements you’ll notice on the outside that lets you KNOW it’s working on the inside. While stomach and gut support begins immediately, allow 2-3 months of consistent supplementation to experience the most dramatic SeaBuck 7 benefits and see first-hand what it can do.
