Tim Grubb 1954-2010 Legendary show jumper Tim Grubb, who represented both Great Britain and then the United States in multiple Olympic Games, World Equestrian Games and international grand prix, passed away on May 11 in Illinois from complications of congestive heart failure. He was 55. A native of Leicestershire, England, Grubb helped Great Britain win the Team Silver medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games aboard famed mount Linky. Grubb also represented Great Britain at the 1980 Rotterdam Alternate Olympics (Team Silver medal) and the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. In 1978, Grubb married U.S. show jumper Michele McEvoy, and he began riding for the U.S. in 1994. Grubb won almost every major grand
prix in the U.S., including the American Invitational, the Devon and Hampton Grand Prix and the largest purse in the U.S. at that time—the $250,000 HITS Grand Prix of the Desert. In 1993, Grubb and the Hanoverian gelding Elan Denizen were named both American Grandprix Association (AGA) Rider of the Year and AGA Horse of the Year. Grubb was on the U.S. team with Denizen at the 1994 World Equestrian Games in The Hague. In addition, he rode on Nations Cup teams for the U.S. in 1999. Grubb lived in California and ran Tim Grubb Training and Sales, which focused primarily on retraining and developing horses. He is survived by his children, Christopher and Dottie. USET Foundation
After Thoroughbreds have completed their race careers, they are often ideal candidates for another vocation. To call attention to these horses’ second career possibilities, nationally- recognized Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital has created a series of annual awards, the first of which will be presented to the top Thoroughbred sport horses of 2009. Divisional awards, named for legendary Thoroughbred sport horses, will be given to those Thoroughbreds who were the top achievers in 2009 United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) competitions in the following disciplines: hunter (Stocking Stuffer Award), jumper (Touch of Class Award), dressage (Keen Award) and

Winning Gold is without a doubt the highlight of my 35 years of professional riding, a moment that wouldn't have happened without Carlsson. When I first saw him, I thought to myself: there's a horse with "a lot of blood." I knew we would pair wel l. With a new feeding regimen, and a little course work, I thought he could go far. I started him on Platinum Performance. Then we began his training. Carlsson's body changed completely. In less than a year, his musculature improved dramatical ly, more than I thought possible. He's solid now and it showed in the trials. Clear round after clear round set us up for the Games. Thanks to hard work and Platinum Performance, Carlsson is a one- of - a-kind horse and truly great champion.

USEF Launches Dressage Talent Search Program The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) has begun a new Dressage Talent Search Program that will be held in conjunction with training sessions with USEF Developing Dressage Coach Debbie McDonald. An observation day will take place one day prior to the USEF Developing Rider Training Session. Applicant riders will present their horses in groups of up to three for 30minute evaluations. McDonald will select two horse/rider combinations from all pairs observed that day, and they then will be invited to participate in the USEF training session on the subsequent two days (with McDonald). “This is a great opportunity for riders and their horses that feel they
16
equestrian | june 2010
have something special to be recognized,” said McDonald. “If they are chosen, this will open up doors to future Developing Clinics and hopefully some direction, to develop them as promising up-and-coming combinations for the USA!” The purpose of the Dressage Talent Search Program is to identify combinations that have world-class potential as the U.S. Dressage Program builds for the future. This program is an invaluable opportunity for career advancement opportunities for horse/rider combinations and to ensure a strong future for Team USA. Olympians in many sports have been “discovered” in similar sessions. Don’t miss the chance to ride in front of
one of the world’s top trainers. Want to get spotted? Here’s how: • All riders with horses four years to 14 years of age are strongly encouraged to apply. • Riders must be a minimum of 16 years old. • Riders interested in being considered must submit an application with a $50 application fee. The application is available on the USEF website. • Riders may enter as many horses as they wish, but must pay a separate application fee for each horse.

Riding for a Cause with the UPHA Pink Ribbon ProgramSM nant lump and would need to start a course of chemotherapy and radiation as soon as possible. “I didn’t know how to tell my daughter,” remembered Bell. “I thought, ‘Am I going to have a headon collision with breast cancer, or a fender-bender?’” Before the evening was through, at least a dozen brave women had approached her, put their arms around her, and invited her to join their network of survivors. “I felt like I was wrapped in a warm blanket, literally,” she smiled. Within days of that phone call, Bell was fighting breast cancer headon. In September, she had surgery, opting to undergo a more aggressive
mastectomy, instead of a lumpectomy coupled with radiation and chemotherapy; in October, she watched from the sidelines as a team of supporters from Infinity Stables took to the pavement, running on her behalf in their local “Race for the Cure,” in Louisville, KY. As each new month passed in succession, she stayed the course, continuing treatment, slowly regaining her strength. She said she was blessed with a relatively easy recovery, in comparison with some of the other breast cancer survivors she knows. Raising Awareness Kayce Bell is a doer. She’s a giver. She’s one of those people who can’t sit still. She’s not content to watch everyone else shape the world—she’s in the midst of shaping it herself, sleeves rolled up, pencil in one hand, phone in the other, determined to make things happen. So with each ounce of energy restored to her petite frame, she brainstormed for a way to combine the two things that consumed a very large part of her life. She loved American Saddlebreds. She had been deeply touched by breast cancer. Surely, she could find a way to combine them. “I had been lifted up by the support I received from my family and from the horse world,” related Bell. “You want to do what you can to pass forward that support.” In that spirit, Bell, along with the United Professional Horsemen’s Association (UPHA), helped launch the UPHA Pink Ribbon ProgramSM. Their mission was clear—raise funds,
Howard Schatzberg
A Life Change Kayce Bell can remember the exact moment that changed her life. It was at the 2006 Kentucky State Fair World’s Championship Horse Show. But it wasn’t a victory lap atop trademark green shavings, surrounded by a cheering crowd. It was a simple phone call that came in as she stood alone. She answered. Time stopped. She couldn’t breathe. On the other line, her doctor delivered the news, each word building momentum, shaping her understanding. Two of those words became permanently etched in her mind: breast cancer. She had a malig-

raise awareness and honor those touched by breast cancer. Their goal was to raise $100,000 over three years. And so the journey began. Their inaugural Pink Ribbon Class was unveiled a few short months later, at the 2007 UPHA American Royal National Championship Horse Show in Kansas City. It was a group effort, and one that could not have been pulled off without the expertise of fellow equestrian Ann Rowland. The arena was swathed in pink, with many of the riders and spectators incorporating varying shades into their evening finery. Even in the first year, it created quite a buzz, with more than $16,000 in donations. “To me, it’s a combination of several good things,” said Bell. “It’s funding cures for breast cancer, it’s demonstrating support that horse people have for each other, and it’s giving people a reason to come see
our horses.” Moving Forward By the following year, the concept had quickly spread. Thirty-six competitions across the country hosted their own UPHA Pink Ribbon Classes. By the end of 2008, the UPHA had shattered the original goal, bringing in more than $100,000 in only two years. That set the pace for a new goal— $100,000 every single year. “Some shows raised $500; others raised $36,000,” Bell shared proudly. “We’ve gotten messages from people who weren’t horse people, but because they heard about the program, they would go to a horse show and watch, just to support the fundraising effort.” Now in its fourth year, the UPHA Pink Ribbon ProgramSM is available to Saddlebred, Morgan, Arabian and National Show Horse competitions across the country. It’s celebrating survivors. It’s honoring lives lost. And most of all—it’s
making a real difference by raising funds for the fight against breast cancer. “Someone will come to you, fighting a battle for their life, and even then, they’ll tell you how they love the UPHA Pink Ribbon Program and how they love seeing the horses they love involved in a program like this,” she said.

Team USA
Show jumper Bob Kraut is riding on his first international tour in hopes of competing for the U.S. in the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games (WEG). Partnered with Graf Lando, Kraut was named to the USEF Long List after a solid Selection Trial performance. The long list is just the beginning; the final selection of the WEG team is based on the performance of 15 horse/rider combinations during three European tours. Kraut and Graf Lando are due to compete during the third tour, which is composed of three CSIO5* shows in Falsterbo, Hickstead and Dublin. “My original goal was to qualify for the WEG and do the Selection Trials. It’s always been a goal of mine, and it’s really nice to get there,” Kraut explained. “I’ve been there and have seen all of it, but I’ve never gotten to compete there. It’s something new, and I’m really excited.” Kraut’s strategy is simple: Give his horse some rest after a long season in Florida, jump him just enough to keep him on his toes and aim for clear rounds. Kraut will compete in Lexington, KY, and Saugerties, NY, before heading to Europe. He continued, “To make the team would be amazing...if not, it will still have been an incredible experience.” Kraut noted that his horse has the power and scope to be successful in the CSIO5* competitions they will face abroad. He also commented that his horse’s excellent stamina and their strong partnership will be important factors to take into account during their tour. Graf Lando is owned by Meghan Moran.
Tina Konyot and Calecto V Eyeing a WEG Team Spot The rewards of a long partnership and hard work were seen as Tina Konyot and Calecto V rounded out a successful winter season when they stole the show at the Kentucky Cup CDI3* Freestyle in April. Held as part of the WEG test event in Lexington, KY, this was just one stop for the pair who hopes to make the U.S. Dressage Team for WEG. Calecto V is somewhat young at 12 for the grand prix level, but their incredibly strong partnership gives them an edge that few competitors have. “It’s quite a journey to create your own grand prix horse and work towards a goal. We have tremendous fun,” Konyot said. “That relationship, to me personally—there is nothing more important. There is a special closeness in bringing along a grand prix horse; there is nobody else in my horse but me.” At the test event, Konyot said every aspect was well thought-out, from 32

the first moment in the stabling area to the vet check and the jog, and the walk to the main arena. “The new venue was just wonderful. The footing was spectacular and worked very well for me. In the freestyle, the rain held out for us. The crowds were great. I was so surprised to see almost 2,300 people there,” she said. “I rode with a big smile on my face, and he was right there with me the whole time.” Konyot and her mount will compete in Austria as a warm-up for the CDIO Aachen, before turning their sights on the Selection Trials at Gladstone, NJ, in August. Konyot is also part of a grant program from the USEF that provides financial support and experienced advisors to guide riders on their competition path. Konyot’s advisors are Anne Gribbons and Steffen Peters.
New American Boyd Martin Elevates His Profile
Shannon Brinkman (2)
Eventer Boyd Martin has made quick work of making a name for himself in the U.S., and the former Australian may have an opportunity to represent his new country at the WEG this year. Named to the short list on two mounts— Neville Bardos and Remington XXV—Martin has been competing in the U.S. since permanently relocating here in 2007. While he had dual citizenship, he officially began riding under the American flag in 2009. In response to being considered for an American team in a remarkably short time, Martin noted that, “It’s a fantastic reward for working as hard as humanly possible for the last three years. Since the day I’ve set foot on American shores, I’ve basically just focused my whole life on riding as best as I can, and it feels like we’re finally getting steps closer to that.” He developed a loyal following in the eventing community, partially due to his work with fellow former Aussie Phillip Dutton. Martin said that competing as an American is unique, but fans and the eventing community have made him feel very much at home. “It’s a bit of a different feeling, obviously—there’s a different anthem playing,” he joked. “I feel a lot more comfortable in America. The American people and system are a little more embracing. I struggled for a bit toward the end of my days in Australia, changing support. I couldn’t be happier and feel more welcome competing and riding for the U.S.” Martin’s mounts are both talented eventers with experience under their girths. His strategy for qualifying for the WEG team is the same for both horses. “I’m going to prepare both horses as if they were both going,” he explained. “I want to get them fit and going well, and leave it up to the selectors for which horse they pick. I don’t have a preference; they are both well qualified and each has a genuine shot at contributing to an American Team medal.” ■ Chrissy Lane Stewart

Equestrian Partners, LLC, and did so last year. But, it’s the breeding that lies so close to Lisa’s heart. She approaches this with the mind of a scientist and the soul of an artist. Her approach encompasses embryo transfer. She feels this method works best for mares that want to remain in competition or for those mares that are past the age of breeding, but might want to have the bloodline passed down. She delights in playing matchmaker, and with a portion of the property leased out to Dr. Jorge Colon and Equine Reproductive Veterinary Services, she doesn’t have to go far. It definitely plays to more than one of her strengths. “When I was in high school and trying to figure out what to do with my life, I made a list of everything I liked and didn’t like,” she related. “The thing that fit was nursing.” Eventually, Lisa became a nurse and worked ICU, CCU, ER, private duty and for the Department of Public Health in Massachusetts in its AIDS program. But, there was a problem. Her job wasn’t outside. “This is nursing outside. I get to do all my medical things. I get to care-take. I get to oversee and manage staff, but I get to do it outside. It plays to all of my interests and attributes, so it really works for me.” Lisa lives a life, and enjoys a lifestyle, deeply entrenched in the equestrian world. While she relishes this, she is not blind to the realities outside of it. “I make no excuses. This is a high-end, exclusive pastime. There is no way around that in this day in age with the economic situation with horses,” she said. “So, I believe it’s important that I do something to find ways to foster programs so that young people can be brought up to interact with the horse industry in all levels—not just riding and the grand prix level.” She lists the things she enjoys with the horses—maintenance, caretaking and the environment. “All of the things that come along with horses are much more beneficial than going in the ring and winning a ribbon,” she said with intensity. “Those are the things that I find the kids that work for me can really take away and learn from and prosper. They’ve learned how to manage care or diagnose a problem, how to work through an issue and have the patience to work through things and see the benefit of time and patience. Those are the things that I think anyone can learn from working with horses. Obviously horses give something special to people, and I think it’s really important
to find ways to foster that. It can’t just be an elitist sport.” Another animal that gives something special is the dog, and Lisa has found herself an unlikely ambassador for a rather rare breed. Dutch Partridge dogs, a breed similar to spaniels and setters, are her latest interest. And, yes, breeding them is part of the fascination. “There were only about 75 in the States, and I had just lost my dog and I was going through a dog encyclopedia trying to find out about another dog and somehow I got fixated on this dog about seven or eight years ago. I looked it up on the Web, and I couldn’t find it, and anything I did find was in Dutch. And that was like throwing down the gauntlet for me!” She tracked down someone who could speak Dutch, and the game was on. “Men love these dogs,” she said. “I went over [to Holland] and got a female…I wanted to extend the lines here in the U.S. They’re strictly used and bred as hunt dogs there. In fact, I had to go on a waiting list for mine, and if a hunter wanted it, then I wasn’t going to get it. So, I just sort of lucked out. The registry is very much into line and pedigree, and I respect that. But, they all agree that there has to be a pet leg of this [registry]. They’ve decided I’m just as good a candidate as anybody. So the leg I’m working with is not the high-end hunting dog, but the excellent pet. They are lovely animals.” When her work is all said and done, Lisa hopes that her impression made will be a lasting one. It all comes around to breeding once again. “I would hope that I would be known for helping to build an infrastructure to promote breeding in America,” she concluded. “I want to promote bringing along young horses appropriately, helping to lead the way to train young people. What we are missing is that piece where young riders know how to bring along a horse to the point where they are competing. I hope to influence the structure of riding in America so that this piece will be reinforced and that we use the resources that we have to breed.” It’s true. Lisa Lourie does nothing by halves. And the industry as a whole is certainly in for a change if she has anything to say about it. This is Lisa’s passion.

The Polo Tavern / Hotel Aiken - Aiken, SC The Hotel Aiken is the place to party in the Southern, horsey hot spot of Aiken, SC. While those who stay in a room for the night might not appreciate the building shaking from the noise of the revelry downstairs, the loud music and vibrant atmosphere are just what plenty of horse show, polo, steeplechase and eventing diehards are looking for after a long day in the saddle. Aiken also attracts a few golf fans during the Masters tournament since Augusta, GA, is right down the road. The hotel works hard to appeal to the equestrians that travel to Aiken year-round for shows, racing, polo, foxhunting and more. “We offer pet rooms for a one-time pet fee, and if it’s mentioned to us we offer a special rate for horse people,” said hotel manager Peggy Greer-Buyers. “We have the same atmosphere all year round. It’s always lively.” Built in 1898 and renovated in 2001, the hotel’s graceful lines and stately furnishings ooze Southern charm. The upscale One Hundred Laurens caters to a refined crowd and offers its patrons top-shelf drink options and a tapasstyle menu. The atmosphere is highlighted by soft music,

When the Tiki Tavern and Polo Tavern light up at night, you know there’s more to this place than quiet social graces. With a dart tournament, karaoke nights, Monday night football and live music, the award-winning Polo Tavern is the quintessential small-town bar with something for everyone. Also known as the “Holly House,” there is live music every weekend and never a cover charge, which makes it all the more appealing to a crowd who prefers to spend its money at the tack shop and feed store. Three-day eventer Boyd Martin, 30, winters in Aiken at the Bridle Creek development and knows its nightlife. “The most visited places are Tako Sushi in downtown Aiken, that provides a strange mix of Japanese and Mexican food all together,” he said. “If you’re in for a bit of a drink and a sing, Wednesday nights at Hotel Aiken provide a laugh with karaoke night. It’s a must see to watch the top riders making a fool of themselves! If you’re looking for a bit more style and class, the ‘must go to’ restaurant is One Hundred Laurens.” (Martin admits that his favorite place in town is the Eastern Buffet, where for $9 you can dive into the allyou-can-eat Chinese buffet.) The Polo Tavern was awarded “Best Place for Live Music” in the Aiken Standard’s Best of the Best for 2008. In 2007, Augusta magazine named the Polo Tavern as the “Hottest Spot During Polo Season.” In 2006, the Hotel Aiken opened the Tiki Tavern, an outdoor patio bar where Jimmy Buffett would feel right at home sipping a margarita. The taverns also offer food, but the main theme here, as in all these venues, is for horsey folk and everyone who walks through the doors to have a good time. Visit www.hotelaiken.com.

GASTROGARD® (omeprazole) Paste for horses contains 37% w/w omeprazole and is available in an adjustable-dose syringe. Each syringe contains 2.28 g of omeprazole. Syringes are calibrated according to body weight and are available in boxes of 7 units or 72 units. Storage Conditions Store at 68°F – 77°F (20-25°C). Excursions between 59°F – 86°F (15-30°C) are permitted. Indications For treatment and prevention of recurrence of gastric ulcers in horses and foals 4 weeks of age and older.
• GASTROGARD Paste for horses is recommended for use in horses and foals 4 weeks of age and older. The contents of one syringe will dose a 1250 lb (568 kg) horse at the rate of 1.8 mg omeprazole/lb body weight (4 mg/kg). For treatment of gastric ulcers, each weight marking on the syringe plunger will deliver sufficient omeprazole to treat 250 lb (114 kg) body weight. For prevention of recurrence of gastric ulcers, each weight marking will deliver sufficient omeprazole to dose 500 lb (227 kg) body weight. • To deliver GASTROGARD Paste at the treatment dose rate of 1.8 mg omeprazole/lb body weight (4 mg/kg), set the syringe plunger to the appropriate weight marking according to the horse’s weight in pounds. • To deliver GASTROGARD Paste at the dose rate of 0.9 mg/lb (2 mg/kg) to prevent recurrence of ulcers, set the syringe plunger to the weight marking corresponding to half of the horse’s weight in pounds. • To set the syringe plunger, unlock the knurled ring by rotating it 1/4 turn. Slide the knurled ring along the plunger shaft so that the side nearest the barrel is at the appropriate notch. Rotate the plunger ring 1/4 turn to lock it in place and ensure it is locked. Make sure the horse’s mouth contains no feed. Remove the cover from the tip of the syringe, and insert the syringe into the horse’s mouth at the interdental space. Depress the plunger until stopped by the knurled ring. The dose should be deposited on the back of the tongue or deep into the cheek pouch. Care should be taken to ensure that the horse consumes the complete dose. Treated animals should be observed briefly after administration to ensure that part of the dose is not lost or rejected. If any of the dose is lost, redosing is recommended. • If, after dosing, the syringe is not completely empty, it may be reused on following days until emptied. Replace the cap after each use. Warning Do not use in horses intended for human consumption. Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children. In case of ingestion, contact a physician. Physicians may contact a poison control center for advice concerning accidental ingestion. Adverse Reactions In efficacy trials, when the drug was administered at 1.8 mg omeprazole/lb (4 mg/kg) body weight daily for 28 days and 0.9 mg omeprazole/lb (2 mg/kg)body weight daily for 30 additional days, no adverse reactions were observed. Precautions The safety of GASTROGARD Paste has not been determined in pregnant or lactating mares. Clinical Pharmacology Mechanism of Action: Omeprazole is a gastric acid pump inhibitor that regulates the final step in hydrogen ion production and blocks gastric acid secretion regardless of the stimulus. Omeprazole irreversibly binds to the gastric parietal cell’s H+, K+ ATPase enzyme which pumps hydrogen ions into the lumen of the stomach in exchange for potassium ions. Since omeprazole accumulates in the cell canaliculi and is irreversibly bound to the effect site, the plasma concentration at steady state is not directly related to the amount that is bound to the enzyme. The relationship between omeprazole action and plasma concentration is a function of the rate-limiting process of H+, K+ ATPase activity/turnover. Once all of the enzyme becomes bound, acid secretion resumes only after new H+, K+ ATPase is synthesized in the parietal cell (i.e., the rate of new enzyme synthesis exceeds the rate of inhibition). Pharmacodynamics: In a study of pharmacodynamic effects using horses with gastric cannulae, secretion of gastric acid was inhibited in horses given 4 mg omeprazole/kg/day. After the expected maximum suppression of gastric acid secretion was reached (5 days), the actual secretion of gastric acid was reduced by 99%, 95% and 90% at 8, 16, and 24 hours, respectively. Pharmacokinetics: In a pharmacokinetic study involving thirteen healthy, mixed breed horses (8 female, 5 male) receiving multiple doses of omeprazole paste (1.8 mg/lb once daily for fifteen days) in either a fed or fasted state, there was no evidence of drug accumulation in the plasma when comparing the extent of systemic exposure (AUC0-d). When comparing the individual bioavailability data (AUC0-d, Cmax, and Tmax measurements) across the study days, there was great inter- and intrasubject variability in the rate and extent of product absorption. Also, the extent of omeprazole absorption in horses was reduced by approximately 67% in the presence of food. This is evidenced by the observation that the mean AUC0-d values measured during the fifth day of omeprazole therapy when the animals were fasted for 24 hours was approximately three times greater than the AUC estimated after the first and fifteenth doses when the horses were fed hay ad libitum and sweet feed (grain) twice daily. Prandial status did not affect the rate of drug elimination. The terminal half-life estimates (N=38) ranged from approximately one-half to eight hours. Efficacy Dose Confirmation: GASTROGARD® (omeprazole) Paste, administered to provide omeprazole at 1.8 mg/lb (4 mg/kg) daily for 28 days, effectively healed or reduced the severity of gastric ulcers in 92% of omeprazole-treated horses. In comparison, 32% of controls exhibited healed or less severe ulcers. Horses enrolled in this study were healthy animals confirmed to have gastric ulcers by gastroscopy. Subsequent daily administration of GASTROGARD Paste to provide omeprazole at 0.9 mg/lb (2 mg/kg) for 30 days prevented recurrence of gastric ulcers in 84% of treated horses, whereas ulcers recurred or became more severe in horses removed from omeprazole treatment. Clinical Field Trials: GASTROGARD Paste administered at 1.8 mg/lb (4 mg/kg) daily for 28 days healed or reduced the severity of gastric ulcers in 99% of omeprazoletreated horses. In comparison, 32.4% of control horses had healed ulcers or ulcers which were reduced in severity. These trials included horses of various breeds and under different management conditions, and included horses in race or show training, pleasure horses, and foals as young as one month. Horses enrolled in the efficacy trials were healthy animals confirmed to have gastric ulcers by gastroscopy. In these field trials, horses readily accepted GASTROGARD Paste. There were no drug related adverse reactions. In the clinical trials, GASTROGARD Paste was used concomitantly with other therapies, which included: anthelmintics, antibiotics, non-steroidal and steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, diuretics, tranquilizers and vaccines. Diagnostic and Management Considerations: The following clinical signs may be associated with gastric ulceration in adult horses: inappetence or decreased appetite, recurrent colic, intermittent loose stools or chronic diarrhea, poor hair coat, poor body condition, or poor performance. Clinical signs in foals may include: bruxism (grinding of teeth), excessive salivation, colic, cranial abdominal tenderness, anorexia, diarrhea, sternal recumbency or weakness. A more accurate diagnosis of gastric ulceration in horses and foals may be made if ulcers are visualized directly by endoscopic examination of the gastric mucosa. Gastric ulcers may recur in horses if therapy to prevent recurrence is not administered after the initial treatment is completed. Use GASTROGARD Paste at 0.9 mg omeprazole/lb body weight (2 mg/kg) for control of gastric ulcers following treatment. The safety of administration of GASTROGARD Paste for longer than 91 days has not been determined. Maximal acid suppression occurs after three to five days of treatment with omeprazole. Safety • GASTROGARD Paste was well tolerated in the following controlled efficacy and safety studies. • In field trials involving 139 horses, including foals as young as one month of age, no adverse reactions attributable to omeprazole treatment were noted. • In a placebo controlled adult horse safety study, horses received 20 mg/kg/day omeprazole (5x the recommended dose) for 90 days. No treatment related adverse effects were observed. • In a placebo controlled tolerance study, adult horses were treated with GASTROGARD Paste at a dosage of 40 mg/kg/day (10x the recommended dose) for 21 days. No treatment related adverse effects were observed. • A placebo controlled foal safety study evaluated the safety of omeprazole at doses of 4, 12 or 20 mg/kg (1, 3 or 5x) once daily for 91 days. Foals ranged in age from 66 to 110 days at study initiation. Gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT) levels were significantly elevated in horses treated at exaggerated doses of 20 mg/kg (5x the recommended dose). Mean stomach to body weight ratio was higher for foals in the 3x and 5x groups than for controls; however, no abnormalities of the stomach were evident on histological examination. Reproductive Safety In a male reproductive safety study, 10 stallions received GastroGard Paste at 12 mg/kg/day (3x the recommended dose) for 70 days. No treatment related adverse effects on semen quality or breeding behavior were observed. A safety study in breeding mares has not been conducted.
