A clean scope doesn’t mean your horse is fine- it just means the ulcers aren’t where anyone’s looking. And that should piss you off.
In this episode, Margaret gets unapologetically loud about a missing link in equine ulcer treatment: pyloric and glandular ulcers. She breaks down the biological blind spots, the reason omeprazole fails in these cases, and why some of the most exhausted horses you’re riding might actually have compromised stomach exits- not stomach linings. You’ll hear a powerful real life case from her mom’s racehorse, a sharp unpacking of misoprostol vs. acid blockers, and the serious consequences of over medicating when you’re chasing the wrong target. If you’ve ever been told “everything looks normal” but your horse is still running on fumes, this episode will change what you ask your vet for- and how you document what you see. Your gut instinct is valid. Your data is valuable. And yes, you are a scientist.
Margaret Parsons is here to cut the BS and get straight to how you can heal your horse’s pain, fix their behavior problems, and build a better relationship with them- all through hands on modalities and energy work. She’s flipped the script on horses written off by vets, saved owners tens of thousands, and helped create deep, lasting transformation with nothing but a pair of magic hands and a whole lot of strategy.
