    Re: [RC] manure mess on legs - Susan Garlinghouse


    You might try some probiotics, or just some active culture yogurt for a week
    or so.  It might not be even close, but horses in for colitis and assorted
    Unhappy Colon problems invariably have gawdawful smelling poop.  I'm sure
    your guy doesn't have colitis brewing, but might just have a large colon
    microbial population a little out of whack.  If he doesn't already get beet
    pulp or psyllium, those feeds also help acidify the hindgut, which helps
    stabilize the "good" bugs as well.
    
    Hope this helps.
