Most of the time when sand is ingested by the horse, it will pass through the digestive system with food and be excreted out. However, its abrasive nature can irritate the horse's intestinal lining leading to loose stools, and in larger amounts, sand can accumulate, slowing the passage of food, and cause serious issues such as weight loss, colic, or even impaction.

For some horses fly irritation can cause sudden behavioral changes in the field, in hand and when ridden. This can include leg stomping/kicking, lack of concentration, consistent tail swatting and head shaking.
