Lani noted: "Magnesium blocks are available at any feed store here, mainly 
used for cattle. But the dirt- and wood-eating stopped when I provided the 
block. When confined and given brome and native grass hay (grown on our own 
land) I have watched them go from the hay to the mag block to water, hay to 
mag block to water. I guess this tells me they need it,"

Lani,
What else is in the block?  Is the mag in a molassas carrier?  If so, the 
horses could be licking the block due to the palatable taste of the 
molassas, not the need for mag.
Just food for thought.
