What about mares that don't get ANY grain? My family has raised horses all my life, and I think about every foal we've ever raised has scoured in some degree during foal heat, whether Mom was on grain & hay, just hay or pasture. We have found over the years that Kaopectate seems to work better than Pepto for cleaning up the scours, and a warm washing followed by a lite coating of Vaseline keeps the burning & hair loss to a minimum.
