Although I have only used Sand-Free a couple of times, I have started carrying out a dung test in the months in between as detailed in the Feedmark 'Understanding Sand Colic' article and the amount of sand remaining is lower than a 1/2 teaspoon. I will continue to use Sand-Free as I have been using Feedmark supplements for over 20 years now and they really do work!!

I keep my horse on very dry, sandy ground and this product has been great for peace of mind that I'm keeping him comfortable and healthy while grazing!

Nutrition Information

Psyllium has been used traditionally in humans, and is a recognised management option for horses with sand burdens. Containing a soluble fibre source, Sand-Free™ forms a gel-like substance when exposed to water. The water absorbing properties means it acts as a hydroscopic sponge, allowing it to pick up and aid the removal of unwanted foreign material (such as sand and indigestible roughage) from the folds and bends of the digestive tract.

Composition

Psyllium husks (Planago ovata)

Analytical

Crude protein 3.1%, Crude oils & fats 0.8%, Crude fibre 4.8%, Crude ash 2.6%, Sodium 0.07%

Why does Sand-Free™ need to be fed dry? 

Psyllium is a solubule fibre source, which forms a gel-like substance when exposed to water. The water absorbing properties of Psyllium enable it to act as a hydroscopic sponge, surrounding and removing unwanted foreign material (sand, toxins and indigestible roughage) from the folds and bends of the digestive tract. 

 

Can I feed Sand-Free™ if I feed a soaked feed?

You can add Sand-Free™ to a soaked feed, however add them near to the time you will be feeding your horse. This is because Sand-Free™ will absorb water and form a gel-like substance and we want this process to happen once the horse has ingested the Sand-Free™, and not happen in their bowl.
