Melissa....What type of hay are you giving her? If it's alfalfa, some horses cannot tolerate the richness of it.
Also...try a supplement that contains a live active culture yeast. I have an aged gelding who had this problem when I got him in January. I started him on a supplement called Grand Complete, which aids in digestion. It contains the yeast culture. It cleared it up really quickly. He's been on it since, and his stool is perfectly formed.
Good luck! I know how much of a mess it can be.
