Ridecamp: Re: [RC] beet pulp

My horse, by mistake, must have bitten on a stone while eating hay 
off the ground and cracked a tooth which was discovered by our equine 
dentist. I worried constantly for two years that the tooth would 
become infected. If it had, it would have been a serious surgery 
since it was an upper tooth and involved the sinus. As the cracked 
tooth grew out, the cracked half was able be simply extracted. I 
would never put stones in my horses' feed for any reason.
Just my opinion.
