When our horses graze on sparse or low-cut pasture, they can consume large quantities of sand and grit, which can accumulate in the intestines and cause the horse to develop sand colic.
Some horses easily become restless and picking up whatever they come across, which means they can also consume, e.g. cones and bark. Psyllium seed can be used to help the horse transport this undesirable material out of their intestines. The psyllium seed’s shell forms a sticky mass on contact with liquid and, therefore, effectively takes sand and grit with it out of the intestines. Psyllium has long been successfully used for horses in this way. Psyllium also has a generally good effect on the intestines’ function by promoting good bowel movements.
