Sand and Colic

I live in Florida where there is sand everywhere. My horsesare pretty
good at picking stuff out of the sand but I know they still are getting
some inside them.

I heard there was a test you could do rather simply by taking a stool
sample ...2 pellets I believe and then putting in H2O, breaking the
pieces up and see how much sand sediment was at the bottom. I've heard
1/2-1t as the max OK limit.

Anyone know what the tests is exactly? Truman, are you there?

Thanks in advance!
