>>Hi Sue

never heard of acidophilus, will try that. How much do you think I should give him? Like I said, he eats fine, has a shiny coat. We just gave him a test for sand and he was fine. My vet says that sometimes some horses just have this. He's getting a nick name at the barn "poopy butt" but he doesn't care, he the official greeter in the pasture. thanks again mary ellen.
