@Doodle92 I will share my other “Succeed” story, given what you have said
In very early 2012 my beloved Duke (RIP) started colicked episodes. He was 25 and had been with me since a coming three year old, so his history was all mine
.
Duke had never colicked over anything a day in his life, so one colic was worry enough. He kept colicking. The the vet put him on EquiShure.
EquiShure® is a time-released hindgut supplement for horses. EquiShure’s unique, patent-pending encapsulation technology ensures targeted release directly in the hindgut.

While it has helped many other horses, it didn’t do one thing for Duke who ended up colicking NINE TIMES in two or so months.
The other vet at that clinic had me put Duke on Succeed and the colics stopped immediately. Duke’s diagnosis was strangulating lipomas and the clinic gave him six months. Surgery was out, given his age and the four hour drive to the equine hospital.
I kept Duke on Succeed and it bought him 2-1/2 years of quality life until that horrible Sunday morning when the lipomas won and he had one major colic, flipping his intestines. The vet was here within two hours. I had no choice but to send Duke on to his ancestors when he was 27——
This is why I am keeping Joker permanently on Succeed. He has been to hell and back twice with major founder and a twice fractured sacrum. At certain times, he has been given pain killers I had never heard of - Methocarbomol.
That said, there is one more natural fore and hind gut product that is amazing but it is more expensive than Succeed. I know it works because I have had Joker on it but using it forever is out of my pocketbook’s reach.
It is called Egusin and is a two-phase product in the early stages of treatment. I did go to just one stage for awhile but it still costs more money for nine days less treatment than the Succeed.
I sure hope what you are doing currently works but if it doesn’t there are three options to try
Also, please keep in mind if your horse does have a hind gut issue, lipomas may be involved. They affect all genders but for some reason geldings & stallions the most.
