So I found a health supplier that sells pure fresh ground psyllium husk in bulk for cheap. I paid 20 bucks for 5 pounds of pure ground psyllium husk in a grainy powder form. It sticks to the sweet feed very well, these picky ponies cannot sort it out of the feed so I know they're getting it all. It has already made such a difference. They all pooped out pure sand after the 3rd day of feeding it. Everyone's coat is already starting to look shinier as they shed out the dull fuzzy hair. The two who looked sooo bloated, spiny and ribby are already starting to look much better. Everyone's spirit seems to have improved too, they are more inquisitive now and move around more, before they were pretty depressed because their bellies hurt. As much as I wanted to try the Eqqus supplement everyone recommended, I couldn't swing it for 32 horses, it was just too expensive to buy enough to do the weekl long purge everybody needed and I feel that stretching it or not using it as directed wouldn't help any. This stuff has no fillers or addatives so I can feed less. I'm giving a tablespoon 2x day for 5 days then 1x day for 5 more, then we will take a break after the purge and repeat for 7 days in a month and adjust as needed. They were just so full of sand it was unreal. I used to not have any problems with the generic psyllium pellets but now my horses won't eat them and it has been so dry here that they just weren't cutting it.
