Loose droppings when excited/in new environment

[kathantoinette]

Hi all

My horse tends to be a bit 'loose' in the droppings department if we go somewhere new or he's excited. Went on a ride with some friends yesterday and this situation occurred. If I go to a competition, its the same.

If we go hacking in my usual places, all is well. And schooling at the regular yards where I hire the arenas, all is well.

Any suggestions on what I could feed (if anything) to make this better.

He is wormed regularly, jabs up to date, etc.

He is a good doer and is not fed anything other than ad-lib hay and a few carrots on a night time.

Thanks for any advice.

Try adding some charcoal to his feed. I have a pony that gets like this, and I just up his normal dosage a little if I take him out. I use this: http://www.finefettlefeed.com/product/1/Happy-Tummy.html but there are other similar products on the market. Hope that helps.
