    If you are going to do this, use BIG stones--too big for the horse to
    actually bite.  Fractured teeth from accidentally chomping down on small
    stones can be a real hazard, and can lead to either a lifelong maintenance
    problem or a shortened lifespan or both.  And I'd think the small stones
    would be even more of a problem in wet, sloppy feeds than in dry feeds.
