We will be moving our horses (9 yr G Paint & 6 yr G Quarter Horse) to our property in a little over a month. We will have a new pasture for them to stay in with a horsewire fence. Our pasture is mostly sandy type dirt and we have been told that sandy area can cause a sand colic in horses. Is there a supplement we can buy and if so, which one is best? We have been told a “Sand Blaster” type supplement should be used. Thank you. EG, Texas
