Re: Yogurt & Horses

["Claudia Provin" <provincmk@fanninelectric.com>]

    Howard---I was not one who recommended it--but I do recommend it
especially for a horse who has been sickly.   But, I did not offer it
free-choice.   I was using it as a medication and thus pulled it up in a
syringe and squirted it into his mouth---about 10 to 20 cc morning and
night.   He was eager for his dose---as long as I stuck with vanilla.   It
was no messier than a wormer  (which leaves room for variation--haha).
