Never tried it, but I read it over and am going to order some.

I always keep a case of Equi-Spazz in the medicine cabinet and have had incredible results.

I hope you don't need to use it but if you do i would be interested in the results

It's the only product of that type, that I've seen,  that places emphasis on gut hydration. The importance of keeping the gut hydrated, even over-hydrated, is key in a successful outcome.

I will let you know how it works, should the need arise. Which is unfortunately a common occurrence with sport horses.

I feed 2 ounces of raw Apple cider vinegar per head per day and besides being good for about everything from coat to arthritis, seems to have eliminated colic bouts in the 2 that I have who are prone to it. I have also eliminated the use of Gastroguard with an aloe based syrup that I mixed myself and tested on a horse that never ate a full meal in his life....until now.

  So glad I re-read this thread. Thanks for the new post on it. I'm going to try that apple cider vinegar on my arthritic 29 yr old mare.  I'll let you know if it helps...

Just make sure that it is RAW apple cider made from whole apples. The crap you get in the grocery story to cook with is cheaply made from the "throw away" parts of the apple like the cores. I get it from the health food store, it comes in glass bottles...or you can get it online. I use the Bragg brand.

  Thanks again. Have a health food store right down the road.

Another trainer told me about this....a wild recipe that was a drench of Worcestershire sauce (like 6 bottles) and eggs (dozen) and maybe something else too but I forget....anyway, I tried it on a pony that was impacted and about 2 hours after administering it, the stall walls were COVERED. Pony ended up relieved....and it was pretty cost effective....like you said, I have no idea how or why it works, but it did for me that time, and has for other people as well.
