Wet bran MASH works pretty good to clean a horse's gastrointestinal tract out. Actually, any source of fiber should work, but bran is easy to get in quantities sufficient to affect a horse.

They do not provide enough fiber in the amounts that they are fed to clean out the digestive tract in any way, and they can cause a calcium to phosphorus imbalance if fed often. It is best to provide lots of hay and fresh clean water. if the horse seems constipated it would be best to call a equine vet.
