    🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑
    I think this goes without saying but...
    Colic is a medical emergency.
    If your horse is experiencing the signs of colic, it is very important for them to be seen by a licensed veterinarian as soon as possible in order to have the best possible outcome!

      when I watched this I hadn’t any clue.. however in watching the entire thing (when you figured out Sand, an enormous breakthrough!!), then that explanation -late on- of how long ago some of this came from .. can’t tell you how much I learned in the (it sounded simple & you were casually attending to all the others along the way) narrative about a particular kind of Colic..!!

      Thank you again C.C. for this important reminder. ⚠
      Equus is a grazing mammal with a small stomach and were for 45 million years an undomesticated range grazing and on the move mammals. Their domestication of last 5000 has been a recent development and we as their care takers need to fully appreciate the difference.

      Thanx for the info, good to know the sand issue can lay sorta dormant and show up later or that there could be so much in there or how to check for it. My area in San Diego is sandy so we run sand clear through the horses regularly. On the flip side, I've never seen laminitis, probably because we don't have many areas of rich grasses or decent pasture in my area. Anyway, you got through the issue with everyone alive and safe so that's good, plus you may have saved other horses with this video.

      Back in the 1970’s we were going to move to Oregon and my mom talked about getting horses. I bought a couple of small books about horse care to give me an idea of what to expect. I was overwhelmed by all the sicknesses a horse can get and the small things that could cause them.Thanks for sharing Studman’s story. Thank you for being a responsible horse owner and not stating I can’t afford this. No one likes vet bills but many years ago I told someone, if you can’t afford to take your animal to the vet to get shots or care if they get sick or injured then you can’t afford a pet. I hope studman continues to make progress and poops a lot

    My horse died from sand colic. Our property didn't appear to have any sand, but once we discovered what happened to her we went searching all the property and found one section in the very backside of the property where the water was draining off at a decline in the very corner of the property .. there was a lot of oat grass growing in that area that you could see she loved to eat (every clump was gnawed down) .. so while she ate the oat grass she was also eating the sand that was deposited in that area. That was when I first learned about sand colic (when I was 13 years old, so this happened a very long time ago, over 30 years ago) .. glad to see they have a product to help horses clear sand now!

      That's what I was thinking. Scary that it can sit so long like a time bomb and blow up randomly. And it was amazing what he was carrying around inside him for so long. One wonders if the bigger gravel bits caused discomfort from time to time that was not noticed by previous owners or just ignored or was too vague for them to figure out before he felt better again. It actually felt good after getting over the initial wow/shock feeling to see all that junk out of him, like watching pimple popping or that vet in Gambia who squeezes the mangoworms out of dogs. I hope CC can get him cleared out totally if she hasn't already.

    Love when horse owners pay attention and just know when something is off. Great job! Something my vet taught me to do is take a baggy and put some nuggets of poo from the center of the pile in it, add water and mash it up pretty good in there and hang it with one corner down and let it sit for several hours to settle….it will show how much sand is coming out…this was a real eye opener for me about feeding off the ground. I now only feed on the ground in the winter. In the summer I switch it up and feed in the pasture on the grass, out of hay nets and in a feeder….I am always changing it up to keep it interesting for them. My horses never had a huge issue but the mini donkey was full of sand when I bought him.

    as a precautionary measure when the ponies come off the moor over the winter they are in a 4 acre paddock two shelters so i put a salt lick in each shelter and aid linseed oil to their mushy grain just in case because moor grass in so short they sometimes get grit in their gut . Being a rare breed we have to keep these little guys in tip top condition. For the rescue horses we add a salt lick to the paddock tree and if need be add the oil to their feed , sandxpel is a good product but comes expensive when u have 30 odd ponies !!

    Just gotta say... I have really been enjoying going through all of your vlog style daily chores videos and find them more educational than a lot of videos that are trying to be educational.
    My senior appaloosa passed away from colic January of 2022, and since she was my only horse, I am now horseless. I have always boarded horses and dreamed of owning property, and that dream recently came true. After we build our house, we're going to get horses and keep them at home. I've been working with horses since I was about 10, and I'm almost 30 now, but like I said, I always boarded. I am really getting a lot out of your videos right now, emotionally since I don't have a horse of my own, and educationally as I am preparing to bring home a couple in the next few years.
    Keep the great videos coming!
    P.s. you mentioned in an earlier video to comment if we'd like to see a video on your first aid kit. I would REALLY like to see what you keep on the farm :)

    Wow, that is so interesting. I don't have horses, but I learn something from you all the time! Yes, horse manure is clean. I love the smell of a horse barn and tack room. I love the smell of a horse. Even with my dog I keep a daily eye on the output, or lack thereof. Poop tells a lot!

As a kid I spent all saturdays in the barn and when my parents picked me up and I got in the car they almost collapsed because I have picked up the horse smell so much 🤣🤣

    I had a filly that had a mild colic. The barn owners couldn't care less, I had the vet out. She recovered, the barn owners then tried to steal her from me. After I had my coggins done. They told the vet afterwards to send it to them.... I kid you not.

I know how much vet care can be when dealing with dogs, cats and other small pets, when I had my horses, they were actually owned by my Dad because I was still in highschool and or college. I did have one for a couple of years after college that I paid for and that was mine, but was kept at the same stables, ie, dad's stables and funny enough, when it came down to vet visits, I never got a bill. 😠 How could I really be mad at him. Then I got a job in Michigan and he took care of my boy till they moved cross country to California when Dad retired from the Navy. I miss all of them. I love watching you with your horses and all of their antics. I really do hope he will be okay.

    I appreciate how you help educate people who may be interested in having a horse to recognize the way things can go wrong, and then be expensive to assess and treat. So many pet owners complain about the cost of basic vetting, when the reality of pet ownership is that it can be very expensive and much of what's required is preventative (as you know). Thanks for modelling animal stewardship, and being honest about the extra care measures that are often necessary.

    Good work with Studman. When I first started keeping a horse on my own while I lived in Arizona, a horseperson advised me to use sand colic treatment in his diet. I followed his advice. Now years later the video gave me a much clearer idea of how much of a problem sand can cause. I also learned to be skeptical of any 'old cowboy' advice on horse handling.
