Regularly check a horse’s legs and teeth, feed them good hay — break up cubes and wet them — and walk them after breakfast. Feed horses separately, as it helps curb aggression. When changing feed brand, do it slowly, mixing brands at the start — otherwise the horse is likely to suffer a belly ache. Don’t over-sup- plement or over do vitamins, they can mess up a horse’s digestive system. Belly aches may lead a horse to roll on the ground. This is very dangerous, Mosher said, and has to be stopped. When rolling, a horse tightens his intestines into a stiff knot, she explained. Metamucil every day helps the intestines remain healthy. Don’t let a horse over- drink when it’s thirsty. Allow five sips then raise its head so it catches its breath. Florida provides horses two major aggravations – sand and the fleas that live in it. Sand is a special danger because it is everywhere. For example, a horse can’t help ingesting sand when it feeds in a pasture. To keep an eye on the level of sand in a horse’s sys- tem, Mosher recommends “the bag trick.” Take a baggy and pick up a small sample of the horse’s manure from the top of the pile. Fill the bag half full of water and hang it up. In about 15 min- utes the sand in the sample will sift down to the bottom. The amount will alert an owner to developing prob- lems. “It’s a really good way to check for sand,” she said. Regarding fleas, Mosher recommends washing a horse twice in a row. First use Dawn dishwashing detergent — its formula soothes dry and scaly skin. Follow imme- diately with Pine Sol, making sure to suds it up on the
