Digestive Care

A horse's digestive system is built for near-constant, low-volume grazing, which makes it sensitive to the modern realities of stabling, concentrated feed, travel, and irregular turnout. Digestive care products in this category help maintain a stable gut environment — supporting hindgut microbial balance, buffering excess acidity, and easing the discomfort that comes with scouring, loose droppings, or general gut sensitivity. Ingredients commonly include psyllium husk for gut motility and sand clearance, prebiotics and live yeast cultures to support the hindgut microbiome, and soothing agents that calm an irritated gut lining. Horses prone to stress-related digestive upset — those that travel frequently, compete, or have recently changed yards or feed — tend to benefit most from ongoing use rather than reactive dosing after symptoms appear. Some products in this range are formulated specifically for sand accumulation in grazing environments, which is a common and often underrecognised cause of chronic mild colic symptoms in the region.
