Re: [RC] [RC] my horse is eating dirt... - Susan Garlinghouse, DVM... The injured mare I handwalked for 5 months, used to stop and eat/lick a patch of dirt/algea in a moist spot. This horse had the best of everything, all the suppliments in the world, and treats, go figure. Laurie/Rascal/Honey/Scout A lot of horses will just do that, and it very often has nothing to do with a mineral deficiency---it's just something that appeals to him. I keep trying to convince my husband that if I have a craving for Thai food, it's because I have a lemongrass or coconut deficiency requiring immediate attention.<g> Nah, I just like Thai food. :-))))))) Susan G =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
