Re: [RC] [RC] ? wet foods - heidi

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... Becky

My horses likewise prefer the TM salt to the plain, so I finally quit
putting out the plain.  But they still don't consume very much.  My
20-some-odd mares (number varies in pasture--it is 27 at the moment) go
through 50 lbs every 6-8 months, and my geldings are still working on the
same 50 lbs that I put in last April or May--started with 9 head, went to
8 head, and down to 7 head by September, some of which where in active
training and competition, and do not get lytes.

They DO dive into the grass hay at times I'd expect them to be salt-hungry.
