Step 4: Hang the glove or bag, so the possible sand can sink to the bottom. If you use a bag, then make sure one of the corners points to the ground. Step 5: You can check if and how much sand is visible, after approximately 30 minutes. Step 6: If you do see sand, then you can be sure there is sand in the gut of horse and it’s wise to give a sand cure, like Pavo SandClear. Step 7: Repeat this test at least 3 days in a row for a reliable result. Only one good test result is no guarantee for a sand-free gut.
