Re: [RC] wet foods - Truman PrevattI tried several different types of loose salt before I found one that a) wouldn't turn to mush in the FL summer humidity and b) they would eat. Table salt didn't work. Kosher rock salt worked pretty well but it is expensive. What seems to work best is the stuff ABC sells, the "Redmond salt." It's coarse enought that it doesn't turn to mush in the summer (if I don't put too much out at one time) and not as expensive as the rock salt.Different horses eat different amounts. The one that eats the least is also the one that needs the most feed so he gets more in his feed. A 50 pound salt block would last me over a year and most likely as much was lost from the rain as the horses licking it. Right now with seven horses I go through about 160 to 200 pounds with 7 horses in a year. Truman Cowgirgoof@xxxxxxx wrote: My horses hardly consume any free choice salt. I supply several kinds too: loose, redmond, white brick and trace brick. They tend to eat the trace brick the most though, but it takes two horses months to finish one 4lb brick...
