FAQ

How does sand accumulate in a horse’s gut?

Horses can ingest sand when grazing on sparse vegetation, eating hay or feed spread on sandy or dusty ground, or drinking from sandy water sources. Over time, sand accumulates in the large colon and can cause poor gut health, colic, and digestive upset.

How does psyllium husk remove sand?

Psyllium husk absorbs water and forms a thick, gelatinous mass in the gut. This gel-like substance coats the sand particles and stimulates gut muscle contractions (peristalsis), helping to move the sand through and out of the digestive system.

How often should I feed it?

Follow the feeding guide on the product label. Many vets recommend feeding psyllium-based products in courses (e.g. one week per month) for horses in high-risk sandy environments. Consult your vet for specific advice.

Is it suitable for horses prone to colic?

Sand Out Pellets are specifically designed to help manage sand accumulation, which is a known cause of sand colic. Always consult your vet if your horse has a history of colic.
