RE: [RC] Psyllium forms - Susan E. Garlinghouse, D.V.M.
It doesn’t really matter IMO, as it’s
all mush by the time it hits the stomach. OTOH, I also don’t think
it’s particularly effective in one-cup increments, you probably get more
bang for your buck doubling or tripling the amount.
Having said that, by far the most
effective treatment for sand is a good preventative program---feeding off the
ground, feeding sand-free hay and plenty of steady exercise.

Does it
matter much in which form a horse gets psyllium for the removal of sand? I know
I could word this better but it is 1:30 am and I can't sleep, nor compose a
proper sentence. My boys get the orange
Equate Powder once a month, one cup per day in soaked BP per horse, per day for
a week. Is Sand Clear more effective as it is in larger crumbles? or does it
matter? Beccy in Ut.
