Fabulous product. Sorted out my pony’s issue of months, within 2 weeks.
Great advice over the phone too.

I had been really concerned about what was causing the faecal water problem with my TG cob. I kept thinking it was the richness of the hay, it the new grass, but then I remembered reading about a problem with sandy ground some years ago.
Thankfully I did, because that led me to Feedmark Sand Free. Just two weeks ago, I was having to wash my pony's hind legs every day and was despairing. Very soon after starting on Sand Free, my pony improved and for the last two days he's had lovely clean hind legs. Fabulous!

Our horse was having wet and runny poop, the vet recommended using psyllium husk and it's worked a treat, really pleased with the results.

Nice and fine, so easy to hide in the feed of a suspicious horse! Fed as a precaution due to restricted grazing on dry clay ground, so dusty and bitty. Fair price to pay to keep mind at ease from sand colic

Nutrition Information

Psyllium Husks have been used traditionally in humans, and are a recognised management option for horses with sand burdens. As a soluble fibre source Psyllium Husks form a gel-like substance when exposed to water. The water absorbing properties of Psyllium means it acts as a hydroscopic sponge, allowing it to pick up and aid the removal of unwanted foreign material (such as sand and indigestible roughage) from the folds and bends of the digestive tract.

Composition

Psyllium husks (Planago ovata)

Analytical

Crude protein 3.1%, Crude oils & fats 0.8%, Crude fibre 4.8%, Crude ash 2.6%, Sodium 0.07%
