The Risk of Colic is Real,

Get Digestive Support
“By all means, there are colic cases that I think we can prevent. Part of that is based on nutrition — limiting grain as much as possible, using healthy fats in the diet, practicing routine exercise and parasite control and turning a horse out as much as possible.”
— Dr. Nathaniel White
