Sand Colic Test.

There is a simple test that can be used to monitor intestinal sand in your horses.

1- Take 5-6 fecal balls and mix them in a small bucket half fiiled with water. Stir

2- Let stand for about 1 hour. If sand is present, it will settle to the bottom.

3- Pour off the liquid. More than a teaspoon of sand left in the bottom of the bucket will indicate a strong possibility for sand colic problem.

A very good product to use and that isnt to spendy would be Sand Clear.

It comes in three different sizes 3, 10, and 20 pound buckets. If the animal already has a bad case of colic already its best to call your vet right away.

So untill next time enjoy your horse and dont for get to give him lots of love and care. Remember he loves your company also.
