Horse Colic Prevention
What do you think of hay cubes?
I was looking at ordering a bag of hay cubes, mainly for the fact they help flush the horses system of sand. Does anyone use them? Are they worth it?

If I wanted to use them just as a sand colic prevention for 1 week a month, would that be ok?
Thanks!
They claim these hay cubes contain psyllium husks, which have the ability to pick up sand in the digestive system. Which is why I mentioned they aid against sand colic

I like hay cubes…
But I only use them for feed to help cut down on my hay consumption. Interesting…I hadn’t heard of using ones that are specifically made with psyllium for cleaning sand out of the horse.
I use a a generic Metamucil once a month.
I don’t know what the cubes might cost…didn’t look for the price…but I know the metamucil works…and it’s cheap for me. I would probably be tempted to try them if they were here…unless they were expensive.
