maybe the peppermints - who knows. I heard that Cherie stayed with her from 6 am - 6 pm - maybe later watching her to make sure she didn't get too distressed.
Riot can probably answer this better than I can but most of the horses I have come in contact with suffer from stomach illnesses. They have a very sensitive digestive system and any change in their feed can cause them to colic. SWLY also has stomach ulcers which may exacerbate the issue.
Because of the prevalence of stomach problems, including ulcers, we give the horses at the barn I am involved in Rolaids - they like them - a nice pepperminty taste and good for their stomach, too.
