STANCE EQUITEC SANDBUSTER 10KG SUPPLEMENT FOR DRY CONDITIONS 123185
- Suitable for
- Equine
SandBuster is designed to feed to horses exposed to dry or sandy conditions, where accumulation of sand may have occurred in the hindgut.
SandBuster contains a blend of ingredients each selected because of their unique action on causing increased rate of passage, becoming gelatinous and supporting intestinal mucosa repair.
Horses can graze very close to the ground, and when grazing on sandy soils, or fed in yards/stalls with a sandy floor, they can often inadvertently take in sand.
Under most conditions this is not an issue, however under some circumstances due to the sand being heavy, it can accumulate in the hindgut and cause a blockage and abdominal pain.
The movement of sand through the intestines depends on the rate of passage of the digesta (undigested food).
Due to the ongoing drought conditions seen in most of Australia, the risk of sand colic and sand related blockages is increasing, as horses strive to find pasture to eat.
Many horse owners feed hay on the ground (which is a healthy way for horses to eat as it mimics the natural grazing practice), but as the horse eats the last of the hay they often accidentally consume some of the dirt or sand that is underneath.
The accumulation of sand can be exacerbated when the rate of passage is slow.

Common Questions
What is SandBuster and what's it for?
SandBuster is a supplement designed for horses exposed to dry or sandy conditions where sand may accumulate in the hindgut. It contains a blend of ingredients selected to increase the rate of passage of food through the digestive system, become gelatinous, and support intestinal mucosa repair. Horses that graze close to the ground or eat hay on sandy floors can accidentally ingest sand, which can build up and cause blockages and abdominal pain, especially during drought conditions.
How much should I feed and how often?
Feed 1 standard cup per day (125g), once daily for 8 days once a month, or as required. This rate is based on a 500kg horse. Can be added to feed or fed alone. Always provide access to clean water.
Can I soak SandBuster in water, or how should I mix it?
SandBuster can be fed wet or dry. We don't recommend soaking it — instead, feed it immediately after adding water so that the SandBuster is still swelling and becoming sticky as your horse eats it, to get maximum benefits.
