[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 320799, member: 1963"] Yeah, the stones in horses are called 'enteroliths'. They are caused by minerals crystalizing around backed up fiber in the horse's gut. (the only good thing to be said about enteroliths is that if you slice them and polish them, they make a pretty gemstone) I did the nearly dieing of instestinal blockage and leakage a few years back. I don't recommend it at all. It nearly killed me, and horses are the mammals most prone and sensitive to blockages. Their guts are sort of built by committee, and unlike all other herbivores, the equine family lacks the specialized fermentation chambers and other mechanisms that break down fiber. [/QUOTE]
