Description
Sand impactions can occur when a horse ingests sand or soil particles accidentally or intentionally. The excess sand may congregate in the horse’s intestinal tract and can block your horse’s colon. This condition—called sand colic—can be painful and dangerous for your horse. The incidence of sand colic is often thought of being limited to horses in sandy areas or regions, but horses can have bouts of sand colic regardless of where they live and even if they’re grazing on pastures.
