I know that someone has been having a problem with her thoroughbred and I have just met a special horse pharmacist who gave me these ideas which could help

I suggest that you try a liver tonic, because sometimes during racing and the damage that comes prior, the liver can become very sensitive

or, try some pro-biotics, this will most likely make him digest his food 100 times better (remember that you should leave them on this for the rest of their lives - it will only do wonders for him and is not dangerous or damaging in any way - and buy a good quality type)

thats really cool, thanks! I will talk to my trainer and mom about it. Do you know where you can get any of those things?

Probiotics was very helpful for me...you should be able to pick it up at a tack store, otherwise ask your vet.
