🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑 I think this goes without saying but... Colic is a medical emergency. If your horse is experiencing the signs of colic, it is very important for them to be seen by a licensed veterinarian as soon as possible in order to have the best possible outcome!

[@janemillerick9614]

when I watched this I hadn’t any clue.. however in watching the entire thing (when you figured out Sand, an enormous breakthrough!!), then that explanation -late on- of how long ago some of this came from .. can’t tell you how much I learned in the (it sounded simple & you were casually attending to all the others along the way) narrative about a particular kind of Colic..!!

[@artemisXsidecross]

Thank you again C.C. for this important reminder. ⚠ Equus is a grazing mammal with a small stomach and were for 45 million years an undomesticated range grazing and on the move mammals. Their domestication of last 5000 has been a recent development and we as their care takers need to fully appreciate the difference.

[@OnceUponaTimeline]

Thanx for the info, good to know the sand issue can lay sorta dormant and show up later or that there could be so much in there or how to check for it. My area in San Diego is sandy so we run sand clear through the horses regularly. On the flip side, I've never seen laminitis, probably because we don't have many areas of rich grasses or decent pasture in my area. Anyway, you got through the issue with everyone alive and safe so that's good, plus you may have saved other horses with this video.

[@lindayoungartist]

Good luck getting him well

Probley caused from standing in a stall and not moving. Producing too much stomach acid.

The sign of a REAL horse owner: you pick up the poop with your hand. 😅 Glad Studman is on the mend. Great job, horse mom!

[@CallySumpter]

I give sand clear every month ( we are in Colorado) and electrolytes every morning, and sweet tea( senior grain and water on hot days and warm sweet tea on very cold days, to ward away any colic, I moved to my own place so I can do this for my horses, the stable I had them at had gravel paddocks and that was terrifying!! Thank you for showing how to play with horse poop , kinda like Jurassic park !! Everyone should know this when taking care of any animals!! Or at least how to look at it carefully haha!!!

Scary! Hope everything turns out ok. Studman deserves the best.

Back in the 1970’s we were going to move to Oregon and my mom talked about getting horses. I bought a couple of small books about horse care to give me an idea of what to expect. I was overwhelmed by all the sicknesses a horse can get and the small things that could cause them.Thanks for sharing Studman’s story. Thank you for being a responsible horse owner and not stating I can’t afford this. No one likes vet bills but many years ago I told someone, if you can’t afford to take your animal to the vet to get shots or care if they get sick or injured then you can’t afford a pet. I hope studman continues to make progress and poops a lot

Looks like Studman will be fine--but only because he has an owner who knows what to look for, and what to do.

[@JennieLowery]

My horse died from sand colic. Our property didn't appear to have any sand, but once we discovered what happened to her we went searching all the property and found one section in the very backside of the property where the water was draining off at a decline in the very corner of the property .. there was a lot of oat grass growing in that area that you could see she loved to eat (every clump was gnawed down) .. so while she ate the oat grass she was also eating the sand that was deposited in that area. That was when I first learned about sand colic (when I was 13 years old, so this happened a very long time ago, over 30 years ago) .. glad to see they have a product to help horses clear sand now!

[@annettegarloff4600]

I never would have thought that sand will sit so long in a horse and can start making Trouble long after it has been ingested. I would have assumed that it must have passed through the digestive system long ago. You really have a ton of knowledge. So good for Studman to have Landed with you.. hoping He will get better soon.

[@bernadettecartin]

That's what I was thinking. Scary that it can sit so long like a time bomb and blow up randomly. And it was amazing what he was carrying around inside him for so long. One wonders if the bigger gravel bits caused discomfort from time to time that was not noticed by previous owners or just ignored or was too vague for them to figure out before he felt better again. It actually felt good after getting over the initial wow/shock feeling to see all that junk out of him, like watching pimple popping or that vet in Gambia who squeezes the mangoworms out of dogs. I hope CC can get him cleared out totally if she hasn't already.

People who aren’t aware have no idea the importance of poop! So glad Studman looks to be recovering. Hello to Huckleberry, Tiny & Nigel. Listen to Tiny’s purrs - she’s “treating” your anxiety. The “purr” frequency is considered HEALING to cats, critters & humans. Cats when injured purr to ease pain & help heal. Let her snuggle against you to feel the purrs.

Love when horse owners pay attention and just know when something is off. Great job! Something my vet taught me to do is take a baggy and put some nuggets of poo from the center of the pile in it, add water and mash it up pretty good in there and hang it with one corner down and let it sit for several hours to settle….it will show how much sand is coming out…this was a real eye opener for me about feeding off the ground. I now only feed on the ground in the winter. In the summer I switch it up and feed in the pasture on the grass, out of hay nets and in a feeder….I am always changing it up to keep it interesting for them. My horses never had a huge issue but the mini donkey was full of sand when I bought him. I LOVE how you have so many viewers that come to your channel for you and your story and they aren’t even equine people. You’re such a blessing to us that enjoy KZbin. Thank you for being here.

Just gotta say... I have really been enjoying going through all of your vlog style daily chores videos and find them more educational than a lot of videos that are trying to be educational. My senior appaloosa passed away from colic January of 2022, and since she was my only horse, I am now horseless. I have always boarded horses and dreamed of owning property, and that dream recently came true. After we build our house, we're going to get horses and keep them at home. I've been working with horses since I was about 10, and I'm almost 30 now, but like I said, I always boarded. I am really getting a lot out of your videos right now, emotionally since I don't have a horse of my own, and educationally as I am preparing to bring home a couple in the next few years. Keep the great videos coming! P.s. you mentioned in an earlier video to comment if we'd like to see a video on your first aid kit. I would REALLY like to see what you keep on the farm :)

I appreciate how you help educate people who may be interested in having a horse to recognize the way things can go wrong, and then be expensive to assess and treat. So many pet owners complain about the cost of basic vetting, when the reality of pet ownership is that it can be very expensive and much of what's required is preventative (as you know). Thanks for modelling animal stewardship, and being honest about the extra care measures that are often necessary.

Praying 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 for him! Okay, and to be honest, for your wallet as well! I know how much vet care can be when dealing with dogs, cats and other small pets, when I had my horses, they were actually owned by my Dad because I was still in highschool and or college. I did have one for a couple of years after college that I paid for and that was mine, but was kept at the same stables, ie, dad's stables and funny enough, when it came down to vet visits, I never got a bill. 😠 How could I really be mad at him. Then I got a job in Michigan and he took care of my boy till they moved cross country to California when Dad retired from the Navy. I miss all of them. I love watching you with your horses and all of their antics. I really do hope he will be okay.

[@valeriemacrae8441]

You are such a blessing to your horses and to us and the knowledge you have. God bless you

[@tamrathomas7097]

So glad Studman is doing better! Very informative and next time I do sandclear I think I’ll do the poop soup to see what comes out. 😮😊

[@shelhenderson7008]

Wow. Shocking. Studman is a lucky boy. Very good job for posting this.

I, like the commenter below, know nothing about horses and have gotten hooked on them. Love watching farriers work--where does that come from? Oddly enough, I took riding lessons with a friend who had riding lessons on her bucket list. There is no desire to ride them for me--merely admire them as such noble creatures who are just one more proof of a loving Creator God. Thanks, and prayers for the Studman (love that name)!.

Great job he is lucky to have you.

Tiny is adorable, I'm glad to see her outside in the sunshine having fun!

[@maryward3060]

Praying he does get better. You are so knowledgeable and take such great care of your horses

[@marjorieorveau6707]

Wow! You never cease to amaze me! I'm on a learning curve about horses; you treat your horses better than the average person treats their family members... 💖

[@delphablankinship519]

I'm so glad you found out what the problem was with Studman. You are an awesome horse mom!!!!!

[@Vanessa-uk7xj]

Really awesome video! You definitely saved Studman's life, but maybe this video will save other horses lives too. I am going to do a sand test on my horse now. She isn't having issues, but I just want to check. I had goats for a while and fed them orchard grass. I used to see a lot of dirt in it. Just curious if sand could be coming from their hay?

[@TheCleverCowgirl]

Not likely, I get it local from one of the best producers in Montana!

[@libbyyue233]

Never realized a horse could get sand colic. Wouldn't feeding on the ground be an added risk of picking up sand or small gravel, although you said there wasn't much of either in your fields. Glad Studman is on the mend.

[@JoeLinux2000]

I volunteer at a large rescue stable just south of the Denver, CO. Recently they lost a beautiful little mini horse due to sand colic. The soil around that stable seems pretty sandy. I was pretty sad about that loss of that horse.

[@walshy886]

That must have been terrifying. So glad that things have improved.
