Did she try Equine senior from Purina? that has helped
a couple of old horses with chronic diarrhea that I knew.
Yogurt is also sometimes used-1 cup per day. But what is
she currently feeding? especially grain to hay ratio.
If the horse is maintaining weight and appears otherwise
healthy, she might just consider living with a messy horse!
I seen several cases like that, that were otherwise fine. we never
did find out what caused the loose stools or a away to stop it.

Guess that's not much help. eh? Sorry.
