Using a detox may be putting the cart before the horse.
I suggest you contact a top gun horse nutritionist and go through your diet very carefully and make sure all nutreint needa re met and thinsg are in good balance.
Even if a detox worked which I am sceptical about what are you going to do after, put him back on the same pastures and feeds and hays and now what?
Detox again and again?
I can suggest you contact Dr. Tania Cubitt a colleague of mine at Performance Horse Nutrition for example. 540-661-7841. Analyze the water and forage and the feeds and discuss any issues in the area like pestcide spraying, problelm cattle guys worry about etc by contacting you state university and talking to a horse extension person. Conatct Dr. Laurie Warren at Florida State U (maybe u of florida? ) (the one with the orange alligators) , a horse specialist on staff there who is a nutrition expert if that is where you are. Maybe there is a horse specialist close by at a university who can help you go through things? Ask your vet about what your concerns are.
It scares the daylights out of me to put in agents that bind up stuff or blow out the natural bacteria populations . How can one be sure they are very specific for just a toxic level of a trace mineral for example unless there is good proven nutritional and vet science behind it and you do not know if there even is a concern? We just do not see this general cleansing works in any research published in a refereed scientific journal.
There are specific ways to counteract specific toxic elements but that is done under vet care and a nutritionist being involved to balance the diet (if nutritional to point out what may be a concern). You do not use a shotgun to kill a sparrrow or you may do more damage than good.

If you have a known issue then I recommend Equine Natural Care herbs for Kidney, have used it with great results on my mare with Kidney stones and they have one for Liver also. But ask someone said, find out what you are dealing with first. Its only going to be successful if you figure out the why's of how they came to have the issues.
