My mare has unrestricted access to a pond in the fields she grazes and has recently taken munching (read: addicted!) all sorts of the greenery growing in it, I've tried to identify some of what I can see growing in (plant app says Common water-starwort is one of the main ones growing) it but my internet searches don't fully confirm if what she's munching on down is okay for her, does anyone have any advice on anything to look out for that could be sinister? I've known many horses to have access to this pond over the years but never seen any eating as much from it as her!
Also, the pond is very silty and I'm a little bit worried about sand colic, would it be sensible to feed a course of psyllium once she no longer has access to the pond in a couple of weeks?
Thanks in advance!
