Re: [RC] sand colic - Sky Ranch

That's good to know.  I've fed bran mashes in the past, but never lived on true "sand" like I just moved to... it's red sand, pure sand.  Scary stuff.  Not pebbles, but fine sand.  The "Sand Clear" directions state it's better than wheat bran, to clear sand out of the ventral colon.  I confess I am totally ignorant of this, having never dealt with "sand" before.
 
Sorry - if this is a repeat on the list, I apologize.

Carla, here in MI we live on sand.  I feed our horses once a month 2 or 3 times in a row, 1/4 cup of WalMart metamucil.  So far so good.  It is way cheaper than Sand Clear and they scarf down the orange taste.  Jeanie
