Colic Remedy for Horses
- 1 Cup coffee (cold - so as not to burn)
- 2 teaspoons ginger
- 2 shots whiskey
Draw up concoction in a syringe with a catheter tip and make your horse drink it.
The coffee gets their system "moving". The ginger gets rid of the gas and the whiskey relaxes their muscles. I believe the recipe given me called for only 1 teaspoon of ginger and 1 shot of whiskey but I always end up giving them more of those ingredients. Horses seem to prefer "Butter Shots" over the whiskey but I imagine any liquor will do. At any rate I do this in addition to what I would normally do. An extra shot of the whiskey for yourself to calm your nerves couldn't be all bad either.
