I have a friend who s horse colics the first of every month. We don't know why and have tried most everything. What keeps the food moving is beet pulp and she is using fast track and these changes have helped her mare. The beet pulp is like a horsey oatmeal with the food value of good quality timothy hay. there is lots of info on it on the internet. I am using it now because I have a older horse that doesn't winter well and it keeps the weight on and keeps him warmer and sticks to his ribs.
